From the Keys up to Delray Beach, South Florida is synonymous with luxurious beachfront resorts. Which is no surprise because its proximity to the ocean and year-round warmth make it an ideal locale for posh properties. But while large swaths of tourists head over to South Beach, one of Miami’s best all-inclusive resorts is situated in the relatively discreet city of Sunny Isles Beach. Newport Beachside Hotel and Resort offers South Beach splendor with a slice of Miami’s historicity.  

The Newport Beach Hotel & Resort has been a fixture of Sunny Isles’ skyline and landscape since 1968. And while its undergone numerous upgrades, renovations and innovations, one thing remains constant: Their "Commitment to excellence". Which is why this Miami hotel manages to attract guests from every corner of the globe, including celebrities and locals wanting to bask in luxury.

Despite being nearly 50 years old, the Newport Beach Hotel & Resort has a modern feel while maintaining enough of its classic, defining architecture and personality.

Calling the Newport Beach Hotel & Resort one of Miami’s best all-inclusive resorts is far from an overstatement. In fact, it may under state the hotel’s amenities relative to other purported “all-encompassing” hotels. For example, you’d probably expect it to be home to a world-class restaurant. And you’d technically be correct.

But the technicality is that it is home to five distinct restaurants. The Newport Beach Hotel & Resort considers Kitchen 305 to be its “crown jewel.” And for good reason since it serves up some of the most scrumptious dishes in South Florida. You do not want to miss their “Lobster Madness Wednesday,”  it's their signature event.

The Ocean Reef Café offers waterfront dining for an All-You-Can-Eat breakfast. Coconuts Cafe serves up lunchtime favorites while you lounge poolside or beachside. Beach Bar is adjacent to the hotel and serves a mouth-watering variety of Asian and American delicacies. And if you’re in need of a quick snack or picker upper, Cappuccino’s is a gourmet snack shop sure to sate nearly any craving.

But, of course, there’s more to do here than just lounge, eat and drink. The Newport Beach Hotel & Resort is a family-friendly destination with entertainment for all ages with a beach playground, kiddie pool, beach volleyball court, jet ski rentals, and a game center with coin-operated arcade games.   

And we haven't yet mentioned the resort’s kid-friendly activity calendar which includes Hula hoop, musical chairs, water balloon toss, bingo, contests in the pools, arts and crafts and face painting.

Oh, and while the children are away, parents, you are free to unwind. Sound perfect to you too; it gets better! The Newport Beach Hotel & Resort also has a fully-staffed Aveda Spa and Salon offering massages, facials, and full salon services.

There are many things to do in Miami, places to visit, dine and shop. It can be a lot to take in and can quickly overwhelm. So, if you want to make the most of your visit to the Magic City, staying at one of Miami’s best all-inclusive resorts is the way to go.  And you’ll be hard-pressed to find one better than the Newport Beach Hotel & Resort.  (Cover Photo credit Visit Sunny Isles Beach Facebook)
