Miami Beach

Miami is a vibrant city most desired for its year-round beautiful weather, alluring golden sand beaches, tasty multicultural cuisines, and a fascinating melting pot of vacationers. It’s that multiple personality place where no trip there is ever the same. It’s one of the few places where a beach vacation includes same day side trips to art districts, shops, restaurants and recreational activities.

It's impossible to experience all of Miami in one trip, especially if it includes lazy days on the beach, paddle boarding, beach yoga, stops in Wynwood, North Beach, or even Aventura, whose mall is the stuff of shopping legends. That's the true magic of Miami, it’s filled with delightful possibilities.

South Beach

South Beach is known for its club scene, white sand beach that stretches for miles, warm turquoise water, Insta-worthy candy-colored lifeguard towers and umbrellas dotting the sand. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun. Trendy, quirky, with the anticipation of exciting adventures at every turn. Enjoy the famous Ocean Drive, explore a vast array of restaurants, cafes, popular nightclubs as well as all the local hangouts - all within walking distance.

North Beach

Go North for a different vibe. Set mid-way between South Beach and Bal Harbour, North Beach is Miami Beach’s quiet escape from the Ocean Drive madness and is also close to all of Miami’s main attractions.The area is family-friendly and features broad sands, street parking, little traffic outside of rush hours, and it’s graced by a miles-long, oceanfront “boardwalk” where you will pass runners, cyclists, dog walkers, bikini-clad sun lovers, and tots pedaling tricycles.
