It may not be season in Miami, but for those of us that stay in the Magic City for its hottest months, there is plenty to look forward to! The city is abuzz with festivities just waiting to be explored and Miami Dade County is working hard to ensure that not a single summer week passes by uncelebrated.

July 1^st marks the start of Miami Spa Month for those looking to get away from the hustle of the city and enjoy the relaxing treatments Greater Miami’s top spas have to offer.  Participating spas include agua, at the Delano and Mondrian South Beach, The Spa at Equinox, Biltmore Spa, at the Biltmore Hotel, The Spa at One Bal Harbour, and Bliss South Beach, located at the W South Beach, among others. For just $99 anyone in city can enjoy the special treatments offered at these world-renowned luxury spa centers. The program lasts through July 31^st.

Come August Miami will once again offer the exclusive Miami Spice dining experience for the 11^th year in a row. Miami residents and visitors have the chance to taste dishes from the city’s most visited and talked-about restaurants through discounted three course lunch and dinner menus. In a twist from previous years, diners will also be able to choose from the “luxury dining” option which features food from high-end hot spots, Juvia, db Bistro Moderne Miami, The Forge and the three restaurants from within the Fountainebleau Miami Beach or the “fine dining” category which features dishes from more affordable eateries like, Mercadito Midtown, Rosa Mexicano, City Hall, Wynwood Kitchen & Bar, and Jaguar Civiche Spoon Latin Bar & Grille. The cost of Miami Spice has been hiked up from last year, but the deal is still a steal and a way to try the best cuisine Miami has to offer all at once.

So those who were thinking of fleeing the city for the summer months, may want to think again. With spa and dining deals like these Miami tops the charts for places to soak up the summer sun.
