3rd of 10 in Miami, October 2026
Book for the hammam-led circuit, included for hotel guests, on the Miami Beach oceanfront.
The Thermal Sanctuary, led by a hammam of Amazonite stone, is free to hotel guests with a prior reservation, subject to availability. House rituals and therapists bring guests back. Massage prices are the dearest in the Miami set, room rates run high, and every class is paid. Right for guests who want an oceanfront stay with a full circuit included and accept high room and spa prices; wrong for anyone who wants included classes, a lower massage price, or a spa day without a room.

On Saturday 23 January 2027, the hotel's own booking engine priced the stay at $2,023.50 all-in on the Advance Saver plan and $2,240.10 on the flexible plan, a booking-engine price for that stay date; the cheapest 60-minute massage is $290 Monday to Thursday and $320 Friday to Sunday; the 22% service charge comes on top, before sales tax.
Spa Treatments
Tierra Santa Healing House builds its menu on house rituals, led by El Árbol de la Vida. On TripAdvisor, the spa's 4.7 sits above the 4.6 median of the six other Miami spas with a listing. Guests return to named therapists year after year, Shane above all and also Marina. The online menu lists 39 bookable treatments, hammam rituals and Biologique Recherche facials among them.
Spa Facilities
The Thermal Sanctuary is a co-ed wet circuit on the hotel's third floor, free to hotel guests with a prior reservation. Tierra Santa Healing House runs 22,000 sq ft, the third largest of the eight Miami hotels with a recorded spa size. Guests who write about the spa describe the hammam most, then the sauna and steam room. A few find the circuit small or busy. No hot tub or plunge pool appears on the hotel's list.
Wellness Programs
The daily class is a paid extra, not an included amenity. The "Daily Movement & Mindfulness" class runs daily at 8:00 am in the Tierra Santa Studio, as the hotel's home page lists it. The August 2026 menu prices the Daily Movement class at $35 for 60 minutes and Twin Hearts Group Meditation at $35 for 60 minutes. Six of the nine other Miami hotels in our set record included weekly classes. Here none are included. Hotel guests use the oceanfront Technogym studio free.
Staff & Service
Staff at Faena Miami Beach earn praise far more often than complaints, and no problem reaches a pattern. The hotel answered only 2 of the 14 TripAdvisor reviews under four stars, but answered 71% of TripAdvisor reviews overall (643 of 906). It answered 209 of 581 Google reviews, or 36%. Booking.com's staff subscore is 8.7 against 8.4 overall, on 234 reviews.
Experience
A stay at Faena Miami Beach earns very high ratings across platforms, with rooms drawing the most complaints from a small minority. TripAdvisor carries 4.8 on 3,474 reviews, above the 4.6 median of the nine other Miami hotels. Only Acqualina matches this score. Google reads 4.6 on 3,090, and Booking.com carries 8.4 on 234 reviews. Rooms are the most common complaint, from a small minority, and the complaint never forms a pattern.
Value for Money
The room rate buys an oceanfront stay with wet-spa access, against high room and treatment prices. Wet-spa access sits inside the $65 nightly resort fee. A 9 January 2027 stay prices $1,819 all-in, the typical rate across the major booking sites for that date, checked 7 Oct 2026, on the non-refundable Advance Saver plan. The cheapest 60-minute massage runs $290 Monday to Thursday, above the $239 median of nine other Miami hotels. Booking.com guests rate Value 7.6 against 8.4 overall on 234 reviews.

About This Hotel
Faena Miami Beach puts a hammam-led thermal circuit inside the resort fee on the Miami Beach oceanfront. That co-ed circuit is free to hotel guests with a prior reservation. Pao’s dining room holds the golden unicorn. A gilded mammoth skeleton stands in the beachfront courtyard. Book for the spa.
The Spa, Specifically: Tierra Santa Healing House
Tierra Santa Healing House fills the third floor with 22,000 square feet on the hotel’s own page. Its co-ed Thermal Sanctuary runs eight stations: waterfall, the hammam of heated Amazonite stone under jasmine steam, a herbal steam room, wet scrub, sauna, Ice Parlor, tepidarium and staging area. Our hydrotherapy circuit guide explains how the sequence works. Hotel guests use it free with a prior reservation, subject to availability, and bathing suits are required. Treatment guests get the hour before their service. The spa runs 9:00 am to 9:00 pm daily. Its menu sells Tree of Life at $430 for 90 minutes Monday to Thursday, the Espíritu Sanador Pranic Healing session at $300 for 60 minutes Monday to Thursday, cacao massage, hammam rituals, and Biologique Recherche facials. Our types of spa massage guide covers the styles. Therapists are the quiet asset: Shane returns in guest reviews across every year, and Marina too. Neither a plunge pool nor a hot tub appears among the eight stations.
Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong
Book Faena Miami Beach for the circuit and the therapists. Go for the full hammam sequence, dinner, a show in season and a late drink on site. Skip it if you want included classes, a lower massage price, or a spa day without a room: the daily class and the group meditation are $35 each, Private Yoga is a separate $200 private service, and no non-guest day-use price is published.
Where It Sits in the Miami Market
Faena Miami Beach prices a 60-minute massage above the $239 median of nine other Miami hotels. Its fee and tax add 18.8% to the peak room, below the 20.4% median. The $65 resort fee sits level with the median, both among the nine other Miami hotels. Carillon Miami Wellness Resort charges $65 a night, untaxed, while Faena’s is taxed with the room. It ranks third of the eight Miami hotels with a recorded spa size, at 22,000 sq ft. Booking.com guests rate Value 7.6, level with the median of the five other Miami hotels that have a Booking.com Value score. See the Miami spa hotel rankings for the full market.

Scored on Guidelines v9.9
All-in = room, resort fee and taxes per night, from each hotel's dated rate capture. On a phone: thermal circuit · spa access · peak all-in. Off-season all-in shows on a wider screen.
Is the Faena Miami Beach Spa Worth the Price?
Yes, for guests who will use the included circuit and accept top-of-market spa prices. No, for a spa day without a room, included classes, or a lower massage price. Typical all-in nights run $1,200 to $1,990 across the year on the non-refundable plan.
When to Book the Faena Miami Beach
December and January are the peak months. October's second half and June to August run low. November and February to May sit between. A typical peak night runs about twice a typical low-month night. Weekend nights average about a quarter above midweek, more in low and shoulder months than in peak months. On Friday to Sunday, the spa menu adds about 10% to a 60-minute massage. Spa hours run 9:00 am to 9:00 pm daily, with no seasonal closure.
