If you watched Season 3 of The White Lotus and found yourself quietly Googling the hotels, you were not alone. Minor Hotels — the Bangkok-based parent company behind Anantara — reported a significant spike in web traffic and bookings that it credits to that cultural moment. Now, the brand is channeling that momentum into something far more permanent: its first address in the United States, right here in Miami.
Announced in April 2026, Anantara Miami Resort & Residences will rise 50 stories and approximately 650 feet above Biscayne Bay at 3601 Biscayne Boulevard — a location at the exact meeting point of Edgewater, the Design District, and Wynwood. The development is a joint venture between Miami's One Thousand Group (the team behind One Thousand Museum and Villa Miami) and Minor Hotels, Anantara's parent company, which operates more than 640 properties across 63 countries.
Completion is targeted for 2030, with sales expected to launch later this year.
A Brand That Needs No Introduction — But Deserves One
Anantara means "without end" in Sanskrit. The brand was founded in Thailand 25 years ago and has built a portfolio of more than 50 properties across the Maldives, Vietnam, Indonesia, Mozambique, Austria, France, Italy, and Spain — each one shaped by the natural and cultural landscape of its location. That ethos of place-rooted luxury is central to how the brand is approaching Miami.
The Koh Samui properties that served as the backdrop for The White Lotus Season 3 brought Anantara to a global audience primed for exactly the kind of experience the brand delivers: deeply curated, wellness-forward, design-led hospitality. The philosophy guiding Anantara's service is nam jai — a Thai concept of generosity and care that flows from the heart. In a market full of branded residences that feel interchangeable, that depth of cultural intention is notable.
"True luxury is time — the freedom to pause, to explore, and to experience the world more deeply."
WILLIAM E. HEINECKE, FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN, MINOR INTERNATIONALThe Design Team: An Exceptional Assembly
ARCHITECTURE
The tower is designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) — the New York-based firm behind One Vanderbilt, 111 Murray Street, and major components of Hudson Yards — in collaboration with Hollywood, Florida-based ODP Architecture & Design, who previously worked with One Thousand Group on both One Thousand Museum and Villa Miami. The architecture is described as distinctly Miami in character, with subtle Thai-inspired cues woven into the form.
INTERIORS
The interiors are by Patricia Urquiola — the Milan-based Spanish designer whose work consistently redefines what luxury spaces feel like. This will be Urquiola's first residential project in the United States, a milestone that places Anantara Miami in the same conversation as Fouquet's Miami (David Chipperfield) and Villa Miami (Vicky Charles). For anyone who follows design, her involvement alone is a signal of the project's ambition.
The Wellness Dimension: Why This One Is Different
From a wellness perspective, Anantara Miami is doing something genuinely different. Rather than treating wellness as an amenity layer bolted on top of a luxury tower — a spa here, a meditation room there — the team has positioned longevity and healing as the conceptual core of the entire project.
The anchor is a dedicated vitality center rooted in ancient Thai healing traditions and modern longevity science, with programming built around movement, nutrition, and recovery. This extends across the podium levels in a way that distinguishes Anantara from virtually every other Edgewater tower currently in development.
WELLNESS & AMENITY HIGHLIGHTS
What sets Anantara Miami apart from a wellness-as-afterthought approach:
- Dedicated vitality center anchored in Thai healing traditions and modern longevity programming
- Comprehensive wellness programming across podium levels — movement, nutrition, and recovery
- Thai-inspired hospitality philosophy (nam jai) integrated throughout building operations and service
- Private rooftop helipad with access to the Florida Keys, Palm Beach, and the Bahamas
- Unobstructed northern views over Biscayne Bay — an increasingly rare feature in new Edgewater developments
- Walkable access to the Pérez Art Museum, Frost Museum of Science, and Adrienne Arsht Center
As someone who looks at Miami condos through both a design and a wellness lens, I find this integration genuinely exciting. The Condo Loving Wellness Score was built exactly to identify developments like this — ones where the wellness commitment is structural, not cosmetic. A development that draws its programming from a 25-year tradition of Thai healing, refined through properties in the Maldives and Koh Samui and now re-interpreted for Biscayne Bay, is a different proposition than a building that added a cold plunge to its amenity deck.
"It's not just another branded residence — it's a fully realized concept that blends hospitality, private ownership, and longevity into one unified experience."
KEVIN VENGER, CO-FOUNDER, ONE THOUSAND GROUPThe Structure: Three Ways to Own (or Stay)
Anantara Miami is structured as a mixed-use hospitality community with three distinct product types, which offers flexibility worth understanding before sales launch:
Private branded condominiums (100 units) — Full ownership, not subject to hotel rental requirements. These are the traditional condo product, with the full benefit of Anantara branding, amenities, and services.
Resort residences (120 units) — Privately owned but eligible to be placed into the hotel's rental pool, generating income when the owner is not in residence. For buyers who see Miami as a pied-à-terre rather than a full-time home, this structure is worth serious consideration.
Boutique hotel suites (50 units) — Operated as a five-star hotel, available for short-term stays. The hotel component anchors the lower floors of the tower.
The income optionality on the resort residences is a differentiator that few other Edgewater buildings offer at this level of brand quality. For buyers interested in positioning early in the development cycle, the combination of first-of-brand scarcity, One Thousand Group's established Miami track record, and the longevity-anchored wellness program creates a compelling case.
Location: The Convergence Point
3601 Biscayne Boulevard sits at a genuinely rare urban intersection. Edgewater has been transforming rapidly — from low-rise residential to one of Miami's most active luxury development corridors — and Anantara is positioned at the exact point where Edgewater, the Design District, and Wynwood converge. The result is walkable access to a cultural and culinary ecosystem that few other waterfront addresses in Miami can claim.
The Design District means Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and a constellation of world-class galleries steps away. Wynwood means the most vibrant art scene in the Southeast. The Pérez Art Museum, the Frost Museum of Science, and the Adrienne Arsht Center are all in the immediate vicinity. And directly to the north are unobstructed views over Biscayne Bay — views that, as Edgewater continues to build out, will only become more valuable.
The rooftop helipad — a One Thousand Group signature across their portfolio — connects the building to the Florida Keys, Palm Beach, and the Bahamas in minutes, extending the luxury perimeter far beyond the tower itself.
What the Condo Loving Perspective Sees
Miami's branded residence market is extraordinary right now. Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Baccarat, St. Regis, Cipriani — the roster of hospitality names on new development is longer than at any point in the city's history. In that context, Anantara stands apart for a specific reason: the wellness philosophy is not borrowed from a fitness brand or a spa concept. It is intrinsic to who Anantara is and how they have operated for 25 years across some of the most sought-after wellness destinations in the world.
When I evaluate a development through the Condo Loving Wellness Score — which weighs building, neighbourhood, and residence equally across twelve subcategories — Anantara Miami scores at the upper tier almost by definition. The vitality center is a genuine differentiator. The design team is exceptional. The location ticks the neighbourhood wellness dimensions in a way that most Edgewater projects simply cannot match.
Sales pricing has not yet been released, and the Friends & Family waitlist is where early access will begin. If this development is on your radar — whether as a primary Miami residence, a second home, or an investment with income flexibility — registering early is the right move.
