Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon is the glamorous pool club at the Goodtime Hotel, the David Grutman and Pharrell hotel on Washington Avenue, and the current favourite for a South Beach day party. A large, palm-fringed pool is ringed by luxe cabanas and daybeds, and the whole space is designed to look fabulous, all colour, pattern and high-summer energy.

The day runs on poolside service, Mediterranean sharing plates and cocktails, with celebrity and resident DJs turning the afternoon into a full party as it goes. The crowd is fashion-forward and dressed to be seen, and on weekends the pool deck has the buzz of a festival. It is polished, high-energy and unmistakably Miami.

Strawberry Moon is best for groups who want a stylish, social day-party rather than a quiet swim, and it is one of the most in-demand day clubs in town. A daybed or cabana, booked ahead for weekends, is the way to secure your spot and the service that comes with it. Expect to dress the part.

Weekends are the headline, but it runs through the week in season. Strawberry Moon sits in the heart of South Beach, about a seven-minute drive from the residence, one of the closest day clubs to the residence.
