Glamor, art, culture, cuisine, pulsating nightlife, water sports, beach culture, Latin flavors… Miami offers a smorgasbord of vacations- sophisticated immersions, democratic diversions, and decadent indulgences. South Beach delivers art deco chic hotels and eclectic cafes. The exclusive enclaves of Star and Fisher Islands attract the rich and famous, while more democratic options are just a bridge away in downtown districts enriched by Central and South American influences. The banks of the Miami River, once a backwater of aging warehouses, are now lined with promenades, parks, and swank condominiums.
To the south, Coconut Grove maintains its bohemian vibe. Foodies are rewarded with a world-class collection of establishments led by celebrity chefs, hundreds of local hidden gems dishing up Latin and Caribbean flavors, food festivals, and a lively food truck scene. Shoppers can max out gold cards at designer enclaves, indie boutiques, souvenir shops, and gleaming malls, while art lovers mark their calendars for big-name happenings such as Art Basel, Design Miami, NADA, and Art Miami.
