“With a crop of exciting South Beach and Design District restaurants and cultural developments, Miami is again the perfect long weekend escape that it once was.” Read more.
Framed by the Florida Everglades to the west and the Atlantic to the east, Miami is a buzzy cultural outpost that’s ideal for a little fun in the sun—from its urban districts to its sandy strands, including seven-square-mile Miami Beach and its barrier islands: Top tables, Art Deco architecture, museums and contemporary art galleries, chic shopping, nightlife and more—in short, a winning combination.

Designing Your Journey
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
3 Days: Essential Miami
Miami has many facets, and a first-time visit should include stops in several different neighborhoods. Here is just one example of what our destination specialists can create for you.
Day 1: On The Water
Indagare can arrange a private boat charter for a day of watersports, fishing or simply lounging in the sun. Discover the city’s canals and adjacent seafood restaurants, and see the downtown skyline from a new perspective. Visiting Stiltsville, a cluster of houses built on pilings in the middle of the ocean, also makes for a fascinating day-trip.
Day 2: Art Tour
Explore Miami’s thriving art and cultural scene with an Indagare-arranged expert guide who can tailor the tour to your particular interests, from photography at the Margulies Collection to contemporary art at the Rubell Family Collection. Your guide can lead you to the top galleries and shops in the polished, avant-garde Design District and in the eclectic, up-and-coming Wynwood Art District.
Day 3: Relaxation
Sun-worshippers should flop by the pool or on the beach, while ultimate indulgers should book a treatment at one of the city’s top spas, such as The Standard, Remède Spa or Cowshed. Your Indagare specialist can recommend the best match for you.
Where To Stay
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
