SOUTH BEACH. Incomparable people-watching is a mainstay at the Rose Bar where, appropriately enough, pink-tinted lighting lets guests view each other through the proverbial rose-colored glasses. This unique touch flatters the appearance-conscious clientele – not that anyone in the dewy-faced bunch needs it! Lounge music sets the groove as international beauties and Hollywood types sip Cosmopolitans and mingle. If hunger rears its head, a fashionable sushi bar sits next door.

SOUTH BEACH. Skybar's glamorous, welcoming spaces act as a magnet for the unabashedly chic and famous. From the gorgeous, dramatic Redroom, activity spills out the back door, into a lush garden, then to a poolside lounge, and finally to the beach itself. Accented with handcrafted lanterns, vibrant textiles, rich beading, tropical foliage and imported furniture, the lounge is designed to seduce – and it succeeds brilliantly. You'll quite possibly lose all sense of time and place.

SOUTH BEACH. Pearl is a sanctuary for the fabulous – its Euro-suave style and well-protected guest list heighten the air of exclusivity. Inspired by '60s-era glam, the suave restaurant and lounge glows with bright oranges and whites, and shell-shaped chairs and fur-lined curtains seem to have been pilfered from the set of a funky sci-fi flick. SoBe sophisticates complete the scene, crowding the bar, chatting and sipping flutes of house champagne.

SOUTH BEACH. With its exotic atmosphere and Mediterranean-influenced menu, this restaurant and bar titillates the senses. The floor is covered in soft grass – yes, real growing grass – and the main dining area's Moorish aesthetic shines through in plush couches and a waterfall. Aphrodisiac martinis and a satisfying wine list hint at the range of beverages; food – should you desire it – includes filet mignon and a lobster napoleon. A great place to impress. Vallet parking: $20.

SOUTH BEACH. Regarded by many locals as South Beach's hottest dance club, Opium Garden gives trend-setters the chance to party inside or out. First, however, you'll have to posture a bit to get past the club's discriminating velvet rope, which remains fairly taut during Miami's peak season. It's then that a who's-who of starlets, music industry moguls and pro athletes (entourage in tow) gain access with a nod to the doorman and accompanying swagger. Chinese lanterns and golden Buddha statues showcase the club's Zen bent, and sensuous sound, lighting and fog set a dreamlike scene for beautiful people intent on partying till dawn.

SOUTH BEACH. Upscale, exclusive Mynt is a bastion of SoBe cachet. Its sleek, spacious interior and custom-designed furnishings establish an otherworldly vibe, perfect for the beautiful patrons and celebrities who often hold court here. The Grand Lounge, complete with 40-foot bar, is open to all, but the Plexiglas-shrouded Ultra Lounge is reserved for special attendees. Well-known DJs spin house and hip-hop tunes, and an aromatherapy system infuses the air with a variety of scents – mint, of course, remains the hands-down favorite.

SOUTH BEACH. While the Van Dyke pulls in a cafe-society crowd of locals with its elegant menu, it also boasts terrific live jazz in its upstairs venue. A speakeasy-like ambience reigns, complete with rich fabrics, upholstered seating, and a beautiful oak bar. Sophisticated older couples often gather to enjoy the soothing stylings of quartets and vocalists, all the while nursing cocktails and nibbling on baked brie or prosciutto and melon. An intimate escape from SoBe's crush and the city's neon-and-pastel gloss.

Moreover, celebrities are common, the level of sociability is enormously high, and top DJs definitely spin to please.
