Canyon Ranch Miami Still Wants You To Have a Good Time

Where: 6801 Collins Ave [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33141-3243

Big news, friends: the Canyon Ranch Miami Beach serves booze. That’s right, Canyon Ranch has its first (!!) liquor-dispensing location, reports the New York Times’ Maureen Dowd. Naturally, we’re talking 100 percent organic spirits along the lines of raspberry-vodka-and-hibiscus-tea martinis, but hey, that’s still going to do the job a whole lot quicker than all that biodynamic wine it's known for.

Though Canyon Ranch seems to maintain its aversion to alcohol at its other two locations (in Tucson and the Berkshires), the temptations of Miami have presumably proven too powerful. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, right? “Our beverage offerings are reflective of our beliefs,” panders the drinks menu. “Research indicates that alcohol, when consumed in moderation, can help people live long and well.”

Well, we could have told you that. No word on whether room service cuts you off once you’ve “consumed in moderation” or if they let you be the judge of that.

Organic Only At New Canyon Ranch Miami Beach

Where: 6801 Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, fl, United States, 33141-3243

Canyon Ranch Spas are the kinds of places we try to head for when our body needs a vacation even more than our brain does: these places are detox heaven. And soon there'll be one more, when the
Canyon Ranch Miami Beach opens up later this year.

Canyon Ranch Miami says it'll be taking reservations from July 15 for stays starting from October. Their website's currently giving "2008 Sample Rates" for the various rooms which start from $300 a night and go much, much higher, and given that curious use of "sample" we're guessing these rates are not quite fixed yet.
