Which pools are on-site and who can use them
Nobu Hotel Miami Beach has four outdoor pools in total. One of those is the adults-only Nobu Pool, which is restricted to guests ages 21 and up.
The property also includes a children's pool for younger guests and additional pools that are shared with the Eden Roc resort. All-ages guests can use the non-adults-only pools.
- Nobu Pool — adults-only (21+), reserved for Nobu Hotel guests
- Children's pool — for families and younger guests
- Other outdoor pools — shared with Eden Roc and available to all ages
Rules for the Nobu Pool (adults-only)
The Nobu Pool is designated adults-only for guests aged 21 and older. Access is restricted to Nobu Hotel Miami Beach guests — the resort’s mandatory resort fee lists access to the Nobu Pool among its inclusions.
Because policies like minimum age for check-in and pool access can vary by booking channel or during events, bring a government ID showing your age and, if you have questions about guest lists or private events at the pool, check with the front desk or concierge.
- Age requirement: 21+ for the Nobu Pool
- Pool access: limited to Nobu Hotel guests (included with resort-fee inclusions listed by the hotel)
- Bring ID and confirm access with the front desk on arrival
Beach access and practical timing
The hotel sits steps from the sand; Miami Beach’s public beach and Indian Beach Park are about a 1–2 minute walk from the property, so guests have easy beach access from the hotel grounds.
Per the hotel's FAQ, guests may use the beach and pools on the day of check-in and on the day of check-out. If you plan a late check-out or early arrival and want lounge chairs or pool cabanas arranged, contact the front desk or concierge in advance.
- Beach: roughly a 1–2 minute walk to the sand and public beach/Indian Beach Park
- Day-of-arrival/departure: beach and pool access allowed on check-in and check-out days
- For chair/cabana needs or special setups, contact concierge prior to arrival

Tips for enjoying the pools and beach (what to bring and expect)
Bring a government ID if you plan to use the Nobu Pool so staff can verify the 21+ age requirement. The hotel provides pool/beach loungers as part of the resort-fee inclusions, but for cabanas or reserved seating contact the concierge.
Towels and basic pool amenities are typically handled on-site, but the exact services and hours for poolside food/drink service can vary by season and venue (Aquatica Pool & Beach Bar operates daily with specified hours). When in doubt, ask the pool attendant or front desk.
- Bring photo ID for Nobu Pool (21+)
- Reserve cabanas or special seating through concierge in advance
- Check Aquatica Pool & Beach Bar hours for poolside food (hours listed by the hotel)
- If traveling with children, use the children’s pool and other shared pools
Pool safety, family considerations and kids’ facilities
Nobu Hotel Miami Beach welcomes children of all ages and offers a kids' club for ages 4–12; families should use the children's pool or the other shared pools rather than the adults-only Nobu Pool.
Pool safety rules such as lifeguard presence, depth markings, or restrictions for non-swimmers are not specified in the available sources, so ask pool staff or the front desk on arrival about lifeguards, floatation devices, and any posted pool rules.
- Children’s programming: kids' club for ages 4–12 with full- and half-day options
- Do not bring children to the Nobu Pool (21+ restriction)
- Ask staff on arrival about lifeguards, safety equipment, and pool depth information
