Bluegreen Colorful Places

While some vacations are all about the destination, and include activity-filled itineraries, some others tend to be all about the resort. Whether you want to see it all or kick back and relax, Bluegreen will always be there for you. And Solara Surfside is no exception. Situated on the soft shores of the Atlantic, on the quiet side of Miami, the resort offers the best of both worlds.

Let's focus on Solara Surfside

Solara Surfside's crisp, white Art Deco exterior carries through to its beautifully designed lobby, a fun place to meet up with friends. Arrive by moonlight and you'll be mesmerized by the gently swaying palms and the lights on the resort's architectural façade.

Time at this inviting resort is all about rejuvenating at your own pace. Start your day with a hot coffee and a long beach walk, or hit the fitness room, then pick up some fresh local seafood and enjoy lunch on your terrace. Solara's ocean-facing pool area is eye candy that soothes all the senses, with its cool breezes, hot sun and the sound of waves rolling onto the beach.

Solara Surfside n-room Internet access and a business center are there for those who need or want them. Barbecue grills, volleyball and a hot tub add to the ways you can unplug and enjoy Miami’s perfect temperatures and oceanfront setting. Pack a book if you like to read; the suites at Solara have numerous cozy places to read or enjoy the ocean views. And there’s so much floor space you’ll feel like you’re in your own home.

Now let's venture from Solara Surfside to Surfside

While people watching, shopping and clubbing are great in South Beach, you may prefer to save the drive and explore the lesser-known environs of charming Surfside, or the nearby shopping mecca of Bal Harbour Shops, bursting with designer boutiques. A great find in Surfside is Darnal Gallery on Harding Street, featuring up-and-coming artists from Europe. The Food Gang restaurant and gourmet company that finds its home in Surfside will ring a bell with fans of the TV show, "Top Chef." La Rotisserie is owned by two sisters who grew up in Paris and is known for its flame-roasted chicken. David & Saul boutique fills a Harding corner window with beautiful sandals, while Nurielle Haute Couture has colorful racks of beautiful cocktail dresses. Café Ragazzi is always buzzing by five.

No matter what you and your friends or family are interested in, cosmopolitan Miami has choices galore. Want to try deep-sea fishing, or visit a few world-class galleries? No problem. Pro sports, animal parks, live music, design showrooms, biking along the ocean, Flamenco dance performances, inviting and affordable restaurants, snorkeling; these are but a few of your options in sunny Miami, and a Solara Surfside concierge will gladly help you with reservations or logistics. Be warned though, once you really start to unwind, you may decide you don’t have to get home as quickly as you thought.
