Miami’s combination of Latin American culture, New York prices, and Floridian seaside climate makes for a dynamic, positively chaotic city. Members of the art world head down for Art Basel every December, but galleries like Nina Johnson and Andrew Reed are local favorites. International crowds have brought fine dining establishments like the Michelin-starred Boia De, but restaurants like Sanguich de Miami serve the classic tastes of Little Havana. South Beach’s busy nightlife can be paired with walks on the beach during the day. We recommend traveling to Surfside or Crandon Park for clear waters and smaller crowds. Hotels like the Mandarin Oriental and the Carillon offer a quiet escape from the busy city.
