The Cool Pool of the Week: The Confidante Miami Beach

Millennials looking to take a dip at one of Miami Beach’s newest hotels should know about The Confidante Miami Beach’s two heated outdoor pools, surrounded by colorful cabanas and bungalows. 

The views from the pools are of “The Backyard” and hotel. Surrounded by an array of native flora and fauna, The Backyard offers a secluded hideaway to unwind with colorful Art Deco chairs, each centered around a circular pond and tropical plants. 

The Confidante recently launched a weekly “Backyard Saturdays Pool Party” every Saturday from 2 to 10 p.m. featuring unicorn floaties for guests.

For food and beverages poolside, The Confidante features The Pool Bar, which is open daily. A highlight is the fish tacos, made with grilled mahi mahi, kimchi slaw, crispy garlic, avocado, and kewpie mayo. Drink highlights include The Confidante Lemonade, which is made with Absolut, canton ginger, lemon juice, blackberry syrup, and fresh blackberries; the Blackberry Mint Julep, which is made with Bulleit bourbon, blackberry puree, mint, and simple syrup; and Endless Summer, which includes Grey Goose La Poire vodka, creme de peche de vigne, Prosecco, orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, strawberry and agave.

Agents should note that the pool area can be rented out for parties or private functions and can accommodate as many as 1,000 people.
 

The pools are surrounded by six colorful private cabanas and three spacious bungalows for day hire. It is recommended that guests reserve either at least one week in advance. During high season, cabanas and bungalows are rented with food & beverage minimums. During the week, they start at $600 and $1,000 for a cabana and bungalow respectively. For up to five people, cabanas feature a bench and two chairs. For up to 10 guests, covered bungalows have a TV, fan, indoor seating and poolside chairs for all.

If guests would rather spend the day on the sand, The Confidante Miami Beach provides direct beach access - just east of the pool - along with a dedicated staff offering beachside service.

The Confidante debuted in April and is part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. It is a playful oceanfront hotel in Miami’s mid-beach neighborhood that aims to combine the vibrant glamour of Miami's past with the sophistication and amenities of modern day. The mid-century modern hotel features 363 guest rooms and 16 suites.
