Tierra Santa Healing House
Miami’s South American-inspired oasis
Miami's first South American-influenced spa, Tierra Santa Healing House at Faena Hotel Miami Beach melds together a unique combination of South America's warm hospitality and age-old healing traditions along with modern spa technology dedicated to the art of well being.
Tierra Santa (which is Spanish for "holy land") is designed to be a sanctuary, acting as a sort of spiritual center for the hotel. The Miami spa was inspired by Alan Faena's picturesque beach house in the rustic-chic village of Punta del Este on the Uruguayan coast.

Our Inspector's Highlights
• The majestic 22,000-square-foot, waterfront spa occupies the entire third floor of the Faena Hotel Miami Beach and offers direct pool and beach access as well as outdoor terraces with unparalleled views of the glistening Atlantic Ocean.
• Décor is colorful yet understated designed with nature in mind. As you enter the spa, you'll notice a larger-than-life bouquet of roses at the reception desk.
• The spa also features paper art installations from Manuel Ameztoy, and its walls display stunning floral murals by artist Juan Gatti, whose work you'll also see throughout the entire hotel.
• Treatments employ Tierra Santa’s own collection of products, drawn from South American healing traditions with ingredients ethically sourced from that region, such as Amazonian white clay, muds from the rainforest and maca.
• The Tierra Santa experience begins with a journey through the extensive wet spa area, where you are greeted with a sliver of clay-colored Tierra Santa soap cut from a huge block and then guided by therapists through a waterfall of powerful showers.
