Iberostar Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of two new hotels in Miami. The Iberostar Waves Berkeley Shore and Iberostar Waves Miami Beach are both located in the heart of South Beach and fall under the Iberostar Waves brand.
The return to Miami demonstrates the company’s commitment to beachfront accommodation and confidence in one of the world’s most dynamic destinations which also boasts a rich cultural and architectural heritage.
2024 was a pivotal year in the transformation and evolution of Iberostar’s hotel portfolio. Phil McAveety, CEO of Iberostar Hotels & Resorts said in a statement, “These openings represent a key milestone in our expansion strategy. Located in a world-renowned destination, close to the sea, and offering the high-quality services that are a hallmark of Iberostar, both properties exemplify our efforts to deliver a refreshed value proposition whilst promoting a model of responsible tourism.”
Iberostar Waves Berkeley Shore, which began operating under the Iberostar Waves segment in December 2024, is located in a 1940s building that retains its iconic Art Deco architecture.
The property offers 96 rooms, a heated pool, a rooftop solarium with sea views and a specialty restaurant. Meanwhile, Iberostar Waves Miami Beach became an Iberostar Waves in January 2025 and it features 82 rooms. Ideal for both families and business travelers, the hotel also sports a meeting room and proximity to the Miami Convention Centre. Both hotels incorporate energy efficiency improvements and sustainable practices in line with the chain’s sustainability goals.
With an unbeatable location, the two new hotels are just steps away from the beach and key landmarks, including Lincoln Road Mall will shopping and art galleries, the New World Center, home to the renowned New World Symphony and the iconic Ocean Drive in South Beach.
The Miami openings joined JOIA Aruba by Iberostar that opened in December 2024, along with two new hotels set to open in April 2025: Iberostar Selection Mirage Hammamet in Tunisia and Iberostar Selection Es Trenc in Mallorca.
With these new additions, Iberostar strengthens its growth strategy through a refreshed product, in beach destinations and with a holiday offering tailored to the needs of its guests.
