The Palms Hotel & Spa is a serene, eco-conscious oceanfront boutique hotel on Miami Beach's Collins Avenue, where lush tropical gardens, a canopied outdoor lounge, and direct beach access create a refined yet relaxed wedding setting. The property's signature hammock garden and tropical poolscape feel like a private jungle oasis steps from the Atlantic, offering ceremony and reception settings of quiet luxury. Its intimate scale makes it ideal for couples seeking an upscale Miami Beach wedding without the overwhelming size of mega-resorts.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from MIAMI BEACH, 0.6 miles away.
