    If you’re heading to South Florida, you need to keep rooftop pools on your radar.

    While a rooftop pool might sound like a high-class luxury, they’re not hard to find in cities like Miami. Even when you venture out to Fort Lauderdale or further north to Tampa, you’ll find that hotels with rooftops to spare often have a pool setup.

    Unsurprisingly, some are grander and flashier than others.

    Want to take a closer look at the best rooftop pools in Florida? Consider this your guide to the most jaw-dropping and chic rooftops that South Florida has to offer—including how to get in even when you aren’t staying at the hotel.

    Just to make sure everyone read that, let me repeat: You can get into the vast majority of the rooftop pools mentioned on this list by purchasing a day pass. (There are a few exceptions, unfortunately.)

    It’s never been easier to add a rooftop pool dip to your next vacation. Just get our day pass and show up ready to swim.
