Riviera Suite: Private Beach Lounge and Picnic Set Up

Riviera Suite: Private Beach Lounge and Picnic Set Up – A Cozy Escape in Miami

If you’re dreaming of a laid-back day by the sea, this Riviera Suite experience might just catch your eye. It’s a curated, private beach setup designed for groups of 4 to 6 people, meant to elevate your time on South Beach with a touch of luxury and convenience. While I haven’t tried it personally, I’ve looked into what it offers, and here’s the scoop.

What I really like about this setup is how it combines comfort and style—you’re not just lounging on a towel but in a thoughtfully arranged space with shade, cozy chairs, and even a picnic table. Plus, the eco-friendly aspect hints at a more responsible way to enjoy the beach without excess waste or disruption. On the flip side, a potential consideration is the price point—at $690 per person, it’s not exactly a budget option, especially when food and drinks aren’t included. That said, if you’re after a memorable, hassle-free beach day with your closest friends or family, it might be worth it.

This experience seems especially suited for those seeking a luxurious yet relaxed beach outing—think celebrating a birthday, a romantic day with a partner, or a small gathering with friends. It’s also perfect if you want a private setting without having to worry about finding the right spot or setting up yourself.

What to Expect from the Riviera Suite Experience

When we look at a luxury beach setup, the goal is to combine comfort, style, and simplicity. The Riviera Suite offers a medium-sized lounge that’s perfect for small groups of 4 to 6 people, and that size truly hits the sweet spot—enough space for everyone to relax without feeling crowded.

The Setup: Comfort Meets Elegance

The setup includes a large canopy that provides plenty of shade, which is a blessing on those sunny Miami days. Two umbrellas add extra sun protection, giving you options for sun or shade as the day progresses. The four wooden chairs are sturdy and stylish, and the two wooden lounge beds are perfect for sunbathing or just relaxing with a good book. The sitting pillows add a cozy touch, making lounging even more inviting.

A wooden coffee table and a small picnic table are great for snacks, drinks, or just laying out your essentials. The beach rugs give a softer surface on the sand, and the luxury cooler ensures your drinks stay cold throughout your stay—an underrated perk that can make or break a beach day. The portable speaker sets the mood with music, and a simple vase adds just enough touch of elegance.

Location and Accessibility

The main setup is on South Beach, just north of the Faena Hotel—arguably one of the most lively and iconic spots in Miami. If you prefer another area, they can set up elsewhere with an extra fee. Just make sure there’s parking nearby; access with your car is easiest when parking is within short walking distance, since the setup team needs to unload and load efficiently.

What’s Not Included

It’s worth noting that food and drinks are not included, and tips or gratuities are at your discretion. Parking isn’t covered either, so budget for that if you’re driving. This means you’ll need to bring your own snacks, beverages, or plan to buy locally. This might seem like a minor inconvenience, but it also gives you the flexibility to choose exactly what you want to enjoy.

The Value of This Experience

At $690 per person, this is clearly a premium option. When you consider what’s included—the shade, comfortable chairs, lounge beds, and the overall private setting—the value starts to make more sense. It’s a package designed for ease and luxury, removing the usual stresses of a busy public beach where finding a decent spot can be a challenge.

People who’ve tried it say that the setup is beautiful and makes a big difference in how they enjoy the day. One reviewer mentioned, “It’s perfect for a relaxing day without worrying about sand or sun exposure,” which sums up the appeal nicely.

Who Should Consider It?

If you’re traveling with a small group and want a private, stylish space to relax, this is an excellent choice. It’s particularly suited for special occasions—birthdays, romantic days, or small celebrations—where the extra comfort and privacy can really elevate your experience. It’s also ideal for those who value eco-conscious options and prefer a hassle-free, curated beach day.

Who Might Want to Pass

If you’re on a tight budget or looking for a more spontaneous, less structured beach day, this might not be the best fit. Since food and drinks aren’t included, you’ll need to plan accordingly, and the price might feel steep if you’re traveling solo or as a large group seeking variety and flexibility.

Final Thoughts

This private beach setup offers a luxurious, hassle-free way to enjoy Miami’s iconic beaches. It’s perfect for small groups who appreciate comfort, style, and convenience, with an emphasis on creating a memorable, relaxed experience. While the price can seem high, the all-in-one package reduces stress and adds a layer of exclusivity that many will find worth it.

If you’re after a romantic getaway, a special celebration, or simply want to treat yourself, the Riviera Suite is a solid pick. It’s not for everyone—particularly if you’re budget-conscious or prefer a DIY beach day—but for those who value ease and a touch of elegance, it’s a smart way to make the most of your time by the sea.
