Spa V also has a 500-square-foot hammam, or Turkish steam bath, (the first of its kind in South Beach) and also a private hammam. There's also a vichy shower room: a wet room with a seven-head rain bar for detoxifying and hydrating treatments.

The Slim V ($150) uses seaweed and a cinnamon blend to help break down cellulite.
