Along the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of South Beach, Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel blends the character of a historic Art Deco hotel with a relaxed, social atmosphere. While guests are just steps from the beach and Ocean Drive, much of the resort's activity centers around its palm-lined pool deck and outdoor restaurant, creating a Riviera-inspired setting for dining, lounging, and connecting.

Dining at Solei Beach Club

The hotel's outdoor restaurant, Solei Beach Club, serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine for lunch and dinner in a setting that overlooks the pool and ocean. Guests can dine beneath thatched palapas while enjoying sea breezes off the Atlantic.

Executive Chef Gastón Javier Sánchez's menu focuses on fresh seafood and shareable plates. Standout starters include ceviche, while entrées feature grilled seabass served with a tomato and olive sauce.

Those looking for something more casual can choose from handheld favorites, including Angus smash burgers or the signature lobster roll prepared with Maine lobster, crisp apple, cucumber, labneh, Aleppo pepper, garlic confit, mint, and a touch of Osetra caviar.

The cocktail program complements the coastal menu. The Solei Spritz combines Hendrick's Gin, Aperol, cucumber, basil, lime, and sparkling wine, while the frozen Passion de Solei features Surfcomber's private blend of Bhakta, a spirit combining rye whiskey, Calvados, and Armagnac.

Rosé enthusiasts should order Solei's private-label rosé from Daou Vineyards served à la piscine—over ice in a large wine glass—a tradition borrowed from the French Riviera and perfectly suited to a warm Miami afternoon.

Summer at Surf

The Surfcomber's redesigned pool serves as the centerpiece of its seasonal DAYLIFE programming.

Private cabanas, shaded loungers, towel service, fruit-infregnated water stations, sunscreen dispensers, and poolside food and beverage service create an easygoing environment for spending the day outdoors.

Throughout the summer, guests can participate in complimentary activities including Aqua Zumba, pool games, weekend DJs, and rotating poolside tastings. Daily offerings may include cold brew coffee, fresh fruit skewers, craft beer tastings, or frozen cocktails.

One of the newest additions is a floating Mahjong table, allowing guests to enjoy one of today's most popular social games while relaxing in the pool. Complimentary Mahjong lessons are also offered on select Saturdays during the summer.

‍Wellness by the Water

Beyond the pool, the resort offers several ways to stay active and recharge.

Morning yoga classes take place on weekends, with yoga mats conveniently provided in every guest room. Complimentary beach cruisers make it easy to explore Miami Beach's nearly 10-mile oceanfront boardwalk.

Kimpton's signature Plant Pals program adds a thoughtful wellness touch by allowing guests to request a living plant in their room during their stay.

For those drawn to the beach, each guest room includes complimentary beach chairs and towels. Beachfront cabanas are available, while nearby water sports include kayaking, parasailing, paddleboarding, and personal watercraft rentals.

‍Breakfast at The Social Club

Guests looking to start the day slowly should head to The Social Club, the hotel's lobby-level restaurant serving breakfast and brunch indoors or on the outdoor terrace.

Fresh-pressed juices and specialty coffee accompany a menu of both savory and sweet favorites.

Among the highlights is the Short Rib Eggs Benedict, featuring Merlot wine glazed and slow-braised beef, poached eggs, chimichurri hollandaise over a fluffy buttermilk biscuit.

Those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the buttermilk short stack pancakes served with Vermont maple syrup or the restaurant's Spanish Toast, filled with mascarpone custard and finished with citrus-cinnamon syrup. Warm ricotta doughnuts served with Georgia peach Chantilly cream are equally tempting as a shared for dessert.

Kimpton Surfcomber combines the convenience of a central South Beach location with a resort atmosphere designed for relaxation. While the South Beach neighborhood is known for its nightlife and energy, the hotel encourages guests to slow down with poolside afternoons, wellness activities, coastal dining, and easy access to the beach.
