Miami

Laid-back Miami is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots for a reason – from the eye-popping pastels of the Art Deco district, to the pristine white sands of the beaches and the neon of the nightlife, the city is packed full of colourful luxury, blazing sunshine and non-stop partying.

When your private jet charter flight lands at Miami International Airport, Miami Beach is just a 12-mile drive away.

The city’s weather lends itself to a myriad of outdoor attractions such as food and wine festivals, boat shows, golf and even – like Ernest Hemingway who lived along the coast in Key West – some deep sea fishing.

If you’d prefer something a little less energetic, try the magical and historic Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a Gilded Age estate surrounded by acres of stunning gardens and a mangrove shoreline, or take a trip to the nearby Everglades National Park or Florida Keys.

You can also stroll along Espanola Way, a picturesque, romantic pedestrian street modelled on Mediterranean villages and packed full of charming boutiques, hotels and lively bars.
It would be a shame to miss the city by night, so take a walk along South Beach to enjoy the extravagant nightlife of bars, clubs and restaurants – or just people watch as all of Miami passes by.

Most of the city’s plush hotels are on Miami Beach. Check into Villa Casa Casuarina, Versace’s home turned luxury boutique on Ocean Drive, take a dip in the gold mosaic pool and enjoy a meal in the ornate restaurant.

For a stay with a more beachy vibe, try 1 Hotel South Beach which boasts Scandinavian pared-back elegance with stunning sea views. Or indulge in a little of the city’s history with the 1930s Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club, with a spa and grand champagne bar for the adults, and a kids’ club for the children.

To refresh yourself, enjoy a glass or two at Vinya Table, in Coral Gables, which boasts one of Miami’s best wine lists and shareable, contemporary American plates – such as truffle risotto and mussels in Pernod cream.

Renowned chef Thomas Keller is at the helm of the Surf Club Restaurant, inside the Four Seasons hotel, with classic rock, low lighting, an American menu and plenty of theatre from tableside preparation.

Make the most of Miami’s Cuban heritage during your stay with a visit to West Little Havana and one of the city’s best-known restaurants – Versailles. The dining room is ornate and mirrored but the menu is more casual, packed with Cuban delicacies such as empanadas and red snapper.

If you’d like a break from the serious wine lists at the top Miami eateries, try the whimsical Carousel Club – you can watch horses race, while ordering frozen cocktails from a (real) carousel bar.

Miami’s tropical climate welcomes visitors all year round, but the slightly cooler temperatures and less rain mean November to March are the perfect months for a trip.

With more than 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, it’s no surprise that the vibrant allure and cultural diversity of the jewel of Florida attracts millions of satisfied visitors every year.
