Located in The NICI hotel on Bournemouth's West Cliff, the resort has a luxury spa, 30 metre outdoor pool and cabana area, fire pits and more.
At the bar and restaurant, individuals can enjoy "Champagne afternoon teas and classics with a Miami twist", according to The NICI's website.
The bar's Afternoon Tea is served daily between 3pm and 5pm for £29 per person.
However you can upgrade the Afternoon Tea to include prosecco for £35 per person or to include Moet and Chandon for £40 per person.
In addition, the venue serves up creative desserts including a strawberry cake with candy floss, tropical Eton Mess and peanut butter and rum bananas.

One recent visitor said: "We loved the excellent attention to detail with the Miami theme running throughout.
"Dinner and breakfast at the South Beach Restaurant didn't disappoint.
"Seated by the window so we could enjoy the view - such a perfect spot.

Another added: "The NICI has been a wonderful experience.
"Beautiful setting and very cool decor. Feels like Miami!"
Whilst guests heading to the restaurant and bar can't use the pool, the pool water and vibrant sunbeds nearby transport you to a Miami-like destination with great views.

The spa embraces the theme of coastal calm, with indoor and outdoor pools, a hydrotherapy suite and bespoke treatments.
And in addition to South Beach Bar and Restaurant, there is also Old Harry Rocks which embraces a laid-back vibe with bold flavours and live DJs every weekend.
For an added bonus, the hotel is also dog friendly.
What is it like to stay at the hotel?
The Sun's Fabulous Lifestyle Editor Catherine Bennion-Pedley recently visited.
As well as the beautiful pool, there's a dinky cinema showing four films each day and a petite playroom with table football, giant Jenga and board games.
Some rooms come with hot tubs, while others have freestanding baths – bag one with a sea view and you'll wake up thinking you're in the South of France!
Its chic-as interiors are super- Instagrammable – rooms are fresh white with bold, palm-print textiles and brass lighting, while ice-cream pastels, glitterballs and eye-catching artwork adorn the communal areas.
But really, it's the outdoor heated pool that steals the show.
The Sun's travel reporter Cyann Fielding also headed to a unique pub with a real beach in central London.
Plus, the English pub where the beer garden is on the beach and people say feels 'more like Miami'.

The legacy of the A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon upgrade

For decades, a dual carriageway in Cambridgeshire was synonymous with slow-moving traffic, jack-knifed lorries and long, long changed in May 2020, when the new A14 opened ahead of schedule, a12-mile (19km) Cambridge to Huntingdon three-lane carriageway. More than five years after the £1.5bn road improvement scheme was completed, what do locals think - and what is its legacy?The BBC has been finding out. "Driving to Stansted Airport could potentially be a two-hour trip, just to get there for a pick-up or drop off - now it's a 45-minute journey," said Stuart co-founder of Le Mark, a Huntingdon-based company, is a huge fan of the improvements."We are a business that is rural, we're in a nice part of the county, but we need to get up and down the motorways when we need to," he said. The company produces tapes, custom-printed labels, professional dance floors and crew-wear for the entertainment industry, including TV, touring bans, theatre, stage and buys and sells internationally, which is why getting to Stansted Airport is so Mr Gibbons can also confidently tell customers in north London that Le Mark can drop off items within an hour and a half."The difference is we can make an appointment we are fairly certain we can meet," he said. Heidi Brown has been working for Le Mark for three years - and commuting along the A14 for much longer than that. The upgraded road has transformed her journey to work. "Historically, it was quite a lot of congestion, it wasn't the easiest of journeys - I'd often have to find alternative routes to work," the purchasing assistant said."Now I can confidently leave knowing I can get to work and I don't have to allow more time in advance." Her colleague, social media content creator Charlotte Brooks, agreed, adding: "I'd hear [the old A14} a lot near our house, but it's a lot better now, much more quiet." "It's a hugely important bridge, the level of vehicles using this bridge is massive - from villages like Oakington, Cottenham, Longstanton and Willingham," said Luis newly elected Liberal Democrat county councillor has found himself negotiating with National Highways over settling embankments on land around the Bar Hill bridge at junction new layout there was part of the A14 project, but now locals are saying they feel a bump when they drive over it and Mr Navarro is "concerned it could become a hazard"."The technical term is the bridge is 'settling' and National Highways have now attached monitoring devices to it, to provide data on how fast or if the bridge is still settling," he said."It's important we are on top of this issue... it's a major artery and the idea is we try to get a permanent solution to reassure drivers that it's safe."A National Highways spokesperson said it had been monitoring the bridge for more than a year, initially with inspections by engineers."This has now been enhanced to include digital monitoring," they said. "This is part of a phased assessment process as we continue our work with Cambridgeshire County Council to determine the root cause and put an appropriate solution in place." About 270 hectares (670 acres) of habitat, including 40 native tree and shrub species, was created for wildlife along the new section of the A14, which realigned the dual carriageway south of say the tree screen will be vital to mitigate against noise from the road. However, National Highways said in 2022 about 20 to 30% of the trees had died, although all have been has since planted another 165,000 trees and shrubs, 90% of which have Russell, who founded the rewilding group Creating Nature's Corridors and with her family, lives close to the A14 in took matters into their own hands by planting their own trees."What we're really lacking is the mulching and the watering and the nurturing and that wasn't done by National Highways," she said. Paul Salmon has been working on the latest National Highways infrastructure project in Cambridgeshire, from Caxton Gibbet to the Black Cat roundabout in Bedfordshire, for more than three £1bn A428 project includes a new 10-mile (16km) dual carriageway, as well as bridges and junctions connecting to the existing road. "Everyone locally knows about the Black Cat junction, it's infamous for multiple reasons and has been a pinch point - including the last single carriageway on this east-west corridor between Milton Keynes and Felixstowe," he said. "And we will move that traffic off the local road."Currently it's about 35,000 vehicles on the A428 a day, and by the time the new road opens, it'll be down to about 3,000 a day."The agency and its partner Skanska have spent time working out "the good, the bad and the indifferent" of the A14 project, the senior project manager added. "For this project, we're top-soiling early, so it'll be green by the time the scheme opens," he said. Follow Cambridgeshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Simon Calder's top 11 UK beaches to head to for summer sun

After months of rain and miserable weather, it's finally here: the Great British heatwave. With reports that temperatures could reach as high as 33C, it's all systems go to make the most of the sun, and what better way to do that than by visiting one of the many beaches we Brits have been blessed with? With nearly 8,000 miles of coastline (some estimates even say 11,000), there are many places to enjoy the heat in peace and quiet – so no need to squeeze yourself into a sun lounger on Brighton beach... From picturesque shores along the Scottish coast to vibrant spots stretching from Durham to Scilly, these are some of best areas to pay a visit. So don that sun hat, fire up the disposable BBQ and slap on that sun screen: it's time to hit the beach. To be alone and at one with the elements, aim for the beach at Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris. The outer shore of the Outer Hebrides is the raw edge of Britain, where the soundtrack rumbles with the weary roar of an ocean at the end of a 3,000-mile journey. You'll find turquoise water of implausible clarity and ice-white sand, sculpted into unworldly shapes by the west wind. Ballycastle, County Antrim This is a broad beach with a view. The hills of County Antrim subside into the sea, and beyond the tumbling cliffs, through the mist, stands the Mull of Kintyre, that bulky punctuation at the end of Scotland's Argyll Peninsula. And at the end of the day, if you wish, you can sail across to Campbeltown on the 4.30pm ferry – watching Northern Ireland retreat in your wake. St Agnes, Scilly I count this fickle stretch of sand as the southernmost in Britain – and given the difficulty in reaching this corner of the kingdom, you can expect to enjoy the place in relative solitude. If you don't have your own yacht, take a boat from Penzance or a plane from one of several southwest airports to St Mary's – then a local boat across to St Agnes. Paignton, Devon The morning sun brings Torbay to life, with Paignton shining brightest. A traditional resort with the benefit of an interesting hinterland: fishing-village Brixham to the south, post-Fawlty Torquay to the north, and the gorgeous River Dart just southwest. Ryde, Isle of Wight Two retro transport options earn the otherwise unremarkable beach at Ryde its place: Britain's last surviving hovercraft roars off to Southsea several times an hour, while an ancient former Tube train rattles down the pier, the opposite end of the railway spectrum from the Trans-Siberian. Rhossili, Gower Peninsula The Welsh mainland has a ridiculous number of excellent beaches, but this is my favourite: the sweep of sand that bookends the Gower Peninsula, with a wild, western aspect that makes it ideal at the end of a warm summer afternoon. Aldeburgh Bay, Suffolk For sheer diversity, head to England's easternmost county. On the 'Suffolk Heritage Coast' between Aldeburgh and Southwold, you find rich flora and birdlife; the Sizewell B nuclear plant; the artists' colony of Walberswick; Alain de Botton's 'balancing barn', a short way inland; and miles and miles of beaches that face the dawn. Blackpool, Lancashire For many of us, the beach is just an excuse for a collection of indulgences – and Blackpool vies with Brighton for the crown of Britain's most hedonistic resort. The Lancashire town wins thanks to having proper sand, not shingle, as well as the Tower and the Pleasure Beach. Seaham, County Durham Lord Byron married Annabella Milbanke at Seaham Hall two centuries ago, and the cliff-top residence is now an elegant spa hotel. In the intervening years, Seaham was the heart of the coal industry, with shafts extending deep beneath the North Sea and a hinterland desecrated by development. Now, nature is reclaiming the shore. Knoydart, Scotland Want a sweep of shoreline to yourself? Find your way on foot or by sea to the Knoydart Peninsula, Britain's last great wilderness. Western Scotland has more appealing sands (notably in the Outer Hebrides), but while Knoydart is part of the mainland, it offers even more isolation. Tynemouth The name describes the location: where the river through Newcastle reaches the North Sea. The setting is spectacular, with a rugged, crumbling castle marking the end of a handsome town with great places to eat. None is more rewarding than Riley's Fish Shack, down on the sand with deckchair dining. The beach curves gracefully north, inviting a swim regardless of the chilly North Sea.

Beautiful Caribbean island with most sunny days and no hurricane season

For an island that is just 20 miles long, Aruba has a lot to offer, from boutique hotels and top-notch restaurants to golden beaches and crystal clear sea – and, according to the tourist board's website, more sunny days than any other Caribbean island, a "practically non-existant" rainy season, and is shielded from tropical storms. The main tourist area, Palm Beach, is the place to stay if you like all the amenities on your doorstep. You'll find every cuisine here, from Japanese to Mexican, and there are watersports huts at frequent intervals along this busy stretch of sand. We preferred neighbouring Eagle Beach, where there are fewer sunbeds competing for a shady spot under a palm tree and where you'll see the occasional red and white fence protecting a turtle nest in the pristine white sand. If you're lucky, you might be there when one of the nests hatches. We also spent time at Arashi Beach in the north and Baby Beach in the south, which are both favourites with the locals as they're away from the hustle and bustle of the big hotels. Take your own sunloungers if you don't want to lie on the sand as hiring them can be pricey. The beaches on the wild Atlantic coast are well worth a visit too. It's too dangerous to swim there, but we were mesmerised watching the huge waves crashing into the shore. Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa is a stylish boutique hotel on Eagle Beach with a laid-back luxury feel. With just 72 rooms and suites, many overlooking the vast stretch of powdery sand in front of the hotel, it never feels crowded. There's a large pool for those who prefer not to swim in the sea, or you can relax beneath one of the palapas (umbrellas made of woven palm leaves) spaced out across the beach. The hotel also provides free sun screen, which is a nice touch. We loved the wellness offering at Manchebo, from the morning yoga classes in the pavilion – with a view of the sea and the sound of birdsong to help you find your inner Zen – to the cosy spa with its treatment rooms that back on to the beach. There's something even more relaxing about a full body massage when it comes with a soundtrack of waves rolling on to the shore. There are also pilates classes – we liked that some of these don't start till 9.30am so you don't have to get up too early – and a small gym, although we have to admit we skipped that in favour of long walks along the shore. After three wonderful nights at Manchebo, we moved to Boardwalk Boutique Hotel for a very different but equally luxe stay. Here, 49 brightly painted casitas (guest houses) nestle among the tropical plants in the gorgeous grounds, which were once a coconut plantation. Our casita was light and spacious, with comfy beds, a walk-in shower and a fully equipped kitchen. We were particularly impressed by the barbecue (and the hammock) on our private verandah. You can order a BBQ Box at reception containing everything you need for an al fresco dinner. The tranquil gardens are home to two pools, shady seating areas and the cosy Coco Bay restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. The main pool is especially popular from 3-5pm as it's happy hour daily, with discounted cocktails. If you prefer your lunch with a sea view, the hotel offers a free shuttle service to Palm Beach, where it has its own area with sunbeds and palapas, and you can order food and drinks from the friendly staff there. By far the standout meal of our trip was the eight-course chef's table experience at Infini. Our evening kicked off with a glass of fizz on the terrace while watching the sunset, then we were seated at a curved table that gives diners an uninterrupted view of the chefs preparing the dishes. Each course was an explosion of flavours and textures, and the carefully curated wine pairing was the perfect finishing touch. Another highlight was our al fresco dinner at Papiamento, in the beautifully lit courtyard of a 100-year-old Aruban cunucu house. Here, we enjoyed a tour of the house and wine cellar before sitting down to one of the restaurant's signature stone specials – local fish, shrimp and rock lobster served on a sizzling stone so you can cook it to your liking. We also had an exceptional meal at the family-run Peruvian bistro Lima, where we feasted on ceviche and scallops on the outdoor patio with oceanfront views. And at Taste My Aruba, we loved the fresh, local ingredients, the obvious joy owner Nathaly de Mey takes in the menu and the great cocktails that were custom-made for us by her master mixologist. For a cocktail with a difference, head to The West Deck to try its famous beer-rita. It doesn't look like it should work but this unusual take on a margarita, with a bottle of local Balashi beer flowing into it as you drink, is wonderfully crisp and refreshing. As for lunchtimes, Zeerovers is a must-visit. Once a docking area used by fishermen, now locals and tourists alike flock there for its fresh- off-the boat seafood, which is fried and served in a basket. We sat on the sea-facing wooden deck and had the best prawns of our trip here. Top of our list of things to do was the Aruba Outdoor Adventures kayak and snorkelling small group tour at Mangel Halto. Our first surprise was that the kayaks have no oars – you paddle with your feet, which is a lot easier than rowing. We followed our guide along the coast before heading further out to sea and mooring at a platform where the water is shallow enough to stand. Then our snorkelling adventure began and the seabed here is teeming with coral and fish of every colour – it took our breath away. We also snorkelled by ourselves at Tres Trapi Beach, where the three steps carved into the rock provide easy access to the sea. There are hundreds of fish here too, but the real treat is the giant turtles swimming in the clear water. Tres Trapi is a 30-minute walk from the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel – go early to avoid the crowds that arrive with the tour boats. You can't go to Aruba without visiting its national park Arikok. Here, we enjoyed a guided hike through the towering indigenous cacti, explored the bat-inhabited caves and braved a natural fish pedicure in the only freshwater pond on the island – a slightly unnerving but not unpleasant sensation. The park's big draw is its Natural Pool, formed by a depression in the volcanic rock. Sea spray flies over the rugged sea wall as you swim in the naturally formed basin and there's plenty to see underwater, so be sure to bring your snorkel here too. Back on dry land, we loved the street mural tour in the town of San Nicholas. Art enthusiast Tito Bolivar began his mission to transform San Nicholas in 2015, inviting talented muralists from around the world to paint walls, buildings and benches in a bid to breathe new life into the forgotten town. The result is a fascinating exhibition of street art and our passionate guide shared some of the stories behind the murals, explaining how the project has boosted the area and encouraged creativity all over the island.
