Miami

 

 

Miami is one of Florida's most popular destinations. The food, shopping, and nightlife are incomparable, and the outdoor activities are boundless. The city is known for its spectacular high-rise architecture, where you will find condominiums with breathtaking Atlantic views and world-class amenities. Or you can enjoy the privacy of a waterfront estate, complete with boat moorage. 

 

• More than 20 miles of shimmering coastline
• A burgeoning hub of modern art galleries
• Florida's best fusion cuisine
• Vibrant nightlife
• A broad range of architectural styles

 

Miami is a paradise playground, not just for vacationers and retirees but for its year-round residents. Locals live energetic lives enriched with access to everything a big international city offers, with the added benefits of outdoor resort-style adventure within minutes of downtown. 

 

The cost of living is substantial in Miami, but the rewards are limitless when considering the city's amenities, attractions, and climate. Here, you live your life to the fullest. 

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping

Miami has many Michelin-worthy restaurants, and while there's always something new and trendy opening up in the city, local favorites are always grabbing headlines. Michael's Genuine serves a fresh twist on American comfort cuisine and is an excellent choice for brunch. And if sharing dishes is your style, you'll love the tapas at Doya. 

 

Elcielo Miami is a must-try, where the chef surprises you with his recommended dishes, and a full wine-tasting menu delights the palate. For the casual Cuban experience, complete with live music, consider spending an evening at Sala'o Cuban Restaurant & Bar.

 

Miami's shopping opportunities are among the best in the world, as all the best-known luxury brands have shops here. Your first destination is the Miami Design District, where the architecture is as much of an attraction as the goods inside. But don't neglect the locally-owned boutiques around town, as there are many up-and-coming designers.

 

There are hundreds of independent galleries in Miami, and it would take a lifetime to enjoy them all. The city's beloved contemporary art museum, Pérez Art Museum Miami, is an excellent place to start. 

 

If you prefer a little more antiquity to your art, spend an afternoon at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. This 1914 villa is representative of Italian renaissance architecture but with all the amenities of the time. The formal gardens, sculptures, and antiques are a fascinating counterpoint to Miami's sleek, modern appeal.

 

Street art is important to Miami's culture, and you can take in the graffiti art in the Wynwood district with one of many walking tour companies.

 

You’ll have ample opportunities to experience outdoor activities not far beyond Miami’s sounds and lights. Consider a tee time at International Links Melreese Country Club or membership at one of several exclusive clubs close to the city. 

 

There are several marinas to moor your yacht or charter one that's fully equipped, whether you're going for a sunset tour or perusing world-class sport fishing opportunities.
