Baia Beach Club Restaurant
2020 was the year to create a restaurant that made you feel as though you were somewhere else because everyone's vacation plans had been put on hold. The Baia Beach Club experience transports you to a number of foreign locations: it's a mix of Bali, Mykonos, Amalfi, and scene-y Miami. The menu is fresh and internationally inspired, with plenty of fresh seafood dishes (like ceviche and branzino) and vegetarian selections ideal for dining by the Mondrian pool. Every table has a view of Biscayne Bay (if not floating right above it). The restaurant is available to everyone, but the beach club is only accessible to members.
The Mondrian South Beach recently revealed this polished gem of a pool deck with a restaurant, bar, and lounge that offers breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay as part of a $20 million property-wide renovation (and the mega-yachts that float by). The large thatched hut's decor of cushioned couches and rattan lanterns makes it the perfect setting for cocktails like the Beehive, which is prepared with No. 3 Gin, yellow chartreuse, lavender honey, butterfly pea, and lemon. A useful tip is to arrive 30 minutes prior to dusk.
