Top Hotels in Surfside, Miami: 5 Oceanfront and Near-Beach Picks

Surfside sits on a short stretch of Collins Avenue between 87th and 96th Street, and the hotels here reflect the town's low-key, upscale character. These five picks cover the full range of what Surfside offers, from a 9.8-rated boutique to a Five-Star resort, selected by guest score, star rating, and confirmed operating status. Every hotel on this list sits within the incorporated town limits.

How we ranked these hotels

Hotels with verified sustainability credentials appear before those without. Within the same sustainability tier, higher star ratings come first, and higher guest scores break any remaining ties within the same star level. All five properties sit on or within a short walk of Collins Avenue between 87th and 96th Street, the geographic boundary of Surfside proper. Properties in adjacent Bal Harbour or Miami Beach were excluded regardless of proximity.

Surfside hotels at a glance

What makes Surfside different from Miami Beach

Surfside operates as its own municipality with its own police department, town commission, and beach maintenance program. The result is a quieter stretch of coastline than the blocks south of 87th Street. You get the same Atlantic water and the same white sand, but without the density of South Beach or Mid-Beach. Most guests here are either families with repeat visits or travelers who have done Miami Beach and want something calmer. The hotels reflect that: even the Five-Star Four Seasons at The Surf Club keeps a residential feel rather than a nightlife-forward one.
