The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Fort Lauderdale

A Fort Lauderdale gem with great views
VERIFIED LUXURY
From The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Fort Lauderdale, the magic of this exciting city spreads out before you. At this resort, you’ll have dramatic panoramas of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and the emerging “new” Fort Lauderdale between them.   

Yet despite the shiny new skyline, and the world’s second-largest cruise port adjacent to it, The Ritz-Carlton spa gets its inspiration not from the future, but from the past.

Long before the glamorous shopping areas and the restaurants and the attractions, this land was inhabited by Native American tribes who could trace their residence here back many centuries. And it’s from those native people that the spa draws its inspiration and its emphasis on natural elements and treatments.

Outside the large windows of the spa is a world of things to do and experience. But inside them, you’ll find only a world of tranquility, soothing sounds and sensations.
