The Retreat Collection

For couples who want more than a ballroom and a pre-set timeline, The Retreat Collection at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach is in a category of its own. This isn’t your traditional resort wedding venue—it’s a curated selection of private oceanfront residences, housed within one of Miami Beach’s most celebrated eco-luxury hotels. Here, you don’t simply host a wedding—you craft an experience around light-filled spaces, sustainable design, and the intimacy of a home, elevated with five-star hotel service.

The Retreat Collection is ideal for small to mid-sized weddings where privacy, personalization, and an unmistakably South Beach setting matter just as much as style. Couples who book here are often looking to blend the freedom of a private event with the access and ease of resort amenities—and that’s exactly what this property offers.

Private Residences, Tailored Celebrations

Instead of banquet halls and ballrooms, weddings at The Retreat Collection unfold inside expansive luxury residences. Each home features floor-to-ceiling glass, spacious living and dining areas, open kitchens, and panoramic views of the Atlantic or the vibrant city skyline. The layout gives you freedom to host the entire celebration in one place: vows on a terrace, cocktails in the living room, and dinner styled exactly the way you imagined it—no cookie-cutter templates required.

Residences vary in size, with multi-bedroom layouts that can accommodate both event setups and guest stays. Most feature expansive balconies, natural wood and stone interiors, and a blend of organic textures that echo the hotel’s sustainability-first approach. You can transform these spaces into elegant micro-wedding venues, rehearsal dinner spots, or post-wedding brunch lounges.

Service & Sustainability

The staff at 1 Hotel South Beach brings the full force of a luxury hotel team—valet, concierge, housekeeping, catering—to every event, even within the residential spaces. Couples are assigned an event specialist who works to coordinate logistics like catering, layout planning, vendor access, and flow of the day.

Food is a standout element. The hotel’s culinary program focuses on fresh, local, and organic ingredients, with menus that reflect the region’s coastal flavor and international influences. Expect elegant presentations, sustainable sourcing, and the option to include custom elements such as raw bars, plant-based tasting menus, or late-night passed bites.

Everything here is intentionally sustainable—from reclaimed materials in the décor to energy-saving systems and zero-waste event practices. Even florists and rental partners are often aligned with the hotel’s green ethos, making it easy to plan a wedding with minimal environmental impact.

• Open-plan living spaces with full kitchens

What Couples Love

For those planning intimate weddings or destination-style gatherings, the Retreat Collection’s blend of home-style comfort and resort-level support is exactly what makes it work.
