The Five-Point Weekend Escape Plan

Find the Luxe Life for Less in Miami











5. Oddball Day


The bar at Setai.  

Since you’ve saved so much cash doing free activities, it’s time to splurge: The Raleigh (from $250) still has the sexiest pool in town, and is now offering a free breakfast package. Eat poolside and watch the sun emerge from the Atlantic, or just ogle the crazy-hot volleyball players. Rent a shiny Baccio at South Beach Scooters ($55 per day) and zip over to News Caféto stock up on European gossip rags for beach reading. The nearby Hotel Victor’s Spa V Happy Hour lasts all day and has twenty-minute express treatments like BlackBerry-addiction wrist massage and high-heel massage therapy for $40. Primped, you’re ready to enjoy recession pricing in one of South Beach’s glossiest restaurants, the Setai. Put your dignity aside and ask for “Bottleshock at the Setai” when you make the reservation — you’ll get a three-course prix fixe dinner for $45 per head and 40 percent off selected wines.
