Wellness in the Miami Design District goes beyond trends—it’s a lifestyle. From expert skincare at Aviva Medical Spa and Dr. Barbara Sturm to cutting-edge treatments at Biohax and Aesop, the neighborhood delivers elevated self-care in thoughtfully designed spaces.
I stay active with strength training at DBC Fitness, yoga at Ahana, and a game of padel at Reserve. Clean dining is easy with spots like Pura Vida, Le Jardinier, and Mandolin Aegean Bistro. In MDD, wellness is seamless, stylish, and part of every day.
