The Setai is a place so calming and serene that it is sure to change guests forever – whether staying for a night or longer. Born out of a vision, The Setai reflects a passion to provide an experience that few can imagine. Starting with an intimate setting, The Setai creates a private world that connects guests with what has always been the greatest attraction of South Beach: the sea, the sun and the beach. To this idyllic oasis, hotelier extraordinaire, Adrian Zecha, has added his own signature touch: passionate service and a profound and abiding respect for individual privacy.

The Setai comprises two buildings, different yet built on the same foundations of superlative service and exceptional design. The impeccable details of each guestroom are exemplified by authentic jade pieces that were discovered in the antique markets of China and displayed to perfection on teak walls.

Choose from The Restaurant, The Grill and the Pool & Beach Bar. The Restaurant offers exceptional Asian-inspired fare and an award-winning wine list. The Grill’s more relaxed atmosphere delivers simple good fare that’s simply delicious. The 90-foot-long poolside bar offers a quintessentially South Beach atmosphere to enjoy cool beverages and Mediterranean-style dishes.
