The 10 Best Private Members' Clubs in Miami (2027)
Direct Answer
Miami's club scene has exploded alongside its finance-and-tech migration, and the best overall membership for most people is Soho House (Soho Beach House Miami, around $4,700/year for global "Every House" access), whose oceanfront Collins Avenue location, pool and screening room remain the city's default creative meeting place.
The best value is The Wynwood-and-Brickell co-working hybrids aside, the clearest value is NeueHouse-style and ZZ's-adjacent tiers — but among full clubs, Soho Beach House's "Local" rate (~$2,500–$3,000/year) undercuts the ultra-luxury tier substantially. This list is for finance professionals, founders, creatives and the Miami social set; annual costs run from roughly $3,000 to well over $25,000 plus initiation at the top.
Every club below is real and currently operating, ranked on facilities, the membership crowd, atmosphere, location and value.
1. Soho Beach House Miami 🏆 BEST OVERALL
Soho House opened Soho Beach House on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach in 2010, occupying a restored 1941 Art Deco hotel with an oceanfront pool, Cecconi's restaurant, a spa and a rooftop. It is the central clubhouse for Miami's creative, fashion and media set.
A "Local" membership runs around $2,500–$3,000/year, with global "Every House" access roughly $4,700/year plus registration. Members get the beach club, pools, gym and discounted bedrooms.
The restored 1941 Sovereign Hotel that houses Soho Beach House retains its Art Deco bones while adding a rooftop pool, the Cowshed Spa, a gym and a screening room, and Cecconi's beachfront terrace is one of the most reliable scenes on Collins Avenue. Miami's surge of finance and tech transplants since 2020 has reshaped the membership, adding founders and investors to the long-standing fashion-and-media crowd.
As elsewhere, admission runs through a committee, and the global membership lets Miami members use houses in New York, London and beyond when they travel.
It ranks #1 for combining an oceanfront setting, full amenities and global usefulness — no other Miami club matches the package. Best for working creatives and frequent travellers.
2. ZZ's Club Miami

How to Choose
- Pick your purpose. Creative networking and beach → Soho Beach House; ultra-luxury dining → ZZ's Club; wellness → The Standard Spa.
- Mind initiation. ZZ's Club and legacy beach clubs carry large one-time fees; Soho Works and Wynwood lounges are far cheaper.
- Match the crowd. Finance/celebrity → ZZ's; creative/fashion → Soho Beach House; wellness → Standard; nightlife → E11EVEN.
- Want private beach? The Bath Club and The Surf Club offer rare private oceanfront access.
- Consider location. Miami Beach (Soho, Bath, Casa Tua) vs. Design District (ZZ's) vs. Downtown (E11EVEN) shapes the crowd.
- Confirm admission process. Top clubs require sponsorship and selective review; Soho Works is the easiest entry into the broader ecosystem.
- Factor the heat and seasons. Miami's social calendar peaks in winter and during Art Basel; if you're a year-round resident, weigh how a club feels in the quiet, humid summer months too.
