The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach has launched a new lineup of guest experiences this spring, spanning on-property programming and offsite excursions focused on wellness, dining, family activities and local culture in Miami.
The A Journey of Serenity and Renewal guided outdoor wellness experience on the DiLido lawn accommodates up to six guests and focuses on relaxation and balance through a series of customizable rituals, including a tea ceremony, meditation, light stretching, yoga and sound bath healing. The session also includes fresh juices and cooling towels, and ends with a take-home wellness kit with an eye mask, essential oil and mantra card. The 1-hour Mini Master Chefs with Jose Andres Group cooking experience takes place at Zaytinya, where children tour the kitchen and learn to prepare Mediterranean flatbreads and a honey yogurt parfait with guidance from the culinary team. Each participant receives a Ritz Kids apron and a recipe card to recreate the dishes at home.

Each participant creates a custom 55ml fragrance to take home.
