The leading publication for beach lifestyle in the Atlantic. Photogenic pool clubs, the most exciting nightlife in America, haute cuisine, Art Deco, and the most cinematic skyline in the world.
There is no other city in the world with the same density of premium experiences in the space that Miami packs between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. South Beach, Brickell, Wynwood, Bal Harbour, Fisher Island: each area has such a distinct identity that they could be separate cities. And they are all connected by highway, taxi, or water taxi.
Miami is not just a beach destination. It's the cultural capital of Latin America in the United States, the city with the most Art Deco architecture per square meter in the world, the epicenter of global electronic music with Ultra, the world capital of contemporary art for a week in December with Art Basel, and, since 2023, one of the most spectacular F1 destinations on the calendar.
What makes Miami unique in context SandbedsIt's the only destination in our collection that operates 24 hours a day without exception. E11EVEN never closes. LIV doesn't open until midnight, but it has after-parties that go until 10 a.m. The Delano has a packed pool at midday and a packed bar at night. Miami never stops.
Luxury resort in Miami Beach — the Atlantic Ocean and the South Beach skyline
“Miami is the only destination in our collection where world-class beach lifestyle and nightlife coexist in the same zip code. From the Delano pool to the LIV afterparty, it's less than a kilometer on foot.”
Editorial Team Sandbeds
July and August in Miami are extremely humid: temperatures of 33–36°C with 80–90% humidity make the heat much more intense than the thermometer indicates. The perfect season for the beach lifestyle is November–April: 25–30°C, low humidity, no hurricanes, and the city at its social peak. Art Basel and Formula 1 take place during this window.
Miami is a huge city—the metropolitan area has 6 million inhabitants—but the neighborhoods that appeal to premium travelers can be reached in 30 minutes by taxi. The choice of neighborhood completely determines the type of experience.
The heart of Miami for the premium traveler. Ocean Drive with its Art Deco facades illuminated at night, Collins Avenue with its grand hotels, the pool clubs of the Delano and the 1 Hotel, and LIV just 200 meters from the beach. If you're only going to Miami once, staying in South Beach is the right choice.

Miami's hotels are as much a part of the destination as the clubs and pool bars. The Delano and the Faena aren't just hotels; they're editorial experiences in themselves. The 1 Hotel redefines the concept of sustainable luxury in South Beach. And the new Equinox and Edition have raised the bar for hotel design in the city. These are the properties we would choose.
1 Hotel South Beach
South Beach's most awarded hotel. Biophilic design featuring reclaimed wood and climbing plants, five pools including the Water Rooftop, South Beach's best spa, and a beach deck directly over the Atlantic. Sustainable luxury at its finest.
The Delano Miami Beach
The hotel that reinvented South Beach in 1995. Designed by Philippe Starck, it boasts Florida's most photogenic pool, billowing white curtains, and a vibrant social scene that has remained unchanged for 30 years. Recently renovated with the same spirit.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach
Alan Faena, Baz Luhrmann, and the most ambitious art in a Miami hotel. A golden woolly mammoth by Damien Hirst in the lobby, Francis Mallmann's Los Fuegos restaurant, cabaret shows in the theater, and the most theatrical pool in the Atlantic. More experience than hotel.
Miami Beach Edition
Ian Schrager + Marriott. The most social hotel in South Beach: Matador Room (Latin American cuisine), a lively pool, bowling, and the most curated nightlife in the area. A favorite for travelers who know Miami and want something contemporary.
Equinox Hotel Miami Beach
The Equinox brand hotel—a global leader in premium fitness—opens its first location in Miami Beach. It features a world-class fitness club, a spa with performance and recovery treatments, and the same philosophy of excellence found in Equinox clubs, now in a hotel setting.
EAST Miami — Brickell
The premier urban hotel in Brickell. Its main attraction is Sugar—the Asian rooftop bar on the 40th floor with panoramic views of the city and the bay—which is one of the best in Miami. For those who prefer the urban atmosphere of Brickell to the beach of South Beach.
| Hotel | Area | Price | Better for |

Miami has a pool and beach club tradition unlike European destinations. Here, the dayclub culture—the daytime party around the pool—competes with nightclubs in terms of production. Pools become stages. DJs play at midday. And the Atlantic is just across the boardwalk.
Delano Beach Club for the iconic pool Nikki BeachMiami for festive brunch and an international atmosphere · 1 Hotel Beach Deck for sustainable luxury Faena Pool for the most theatrical experience.
Delano Beach Club
The pool that put South Beach on the global lifestyle map. Designed by Philippe Starck, with white Balinese beds, curtains billowing in the Atlantic breeze, and a social atmosphere that has been the benchmark for what's happening in Miami Beach for three decades. The most photogenic dayclub in Florida.
Nikki BeachMiami
The original Nikki Beach Club worldwide. Opened in 1998 in South Beach, it's Miami's most international beach club and the one that best combines beach lifestyle with fine dining and music. Sunday brunch is one of the city's most popular social events.
1 Hotel Beach Deck
The beach deck of South Beach's finest hotel. Directly on the Atlantic, with top-notch hotel service, reclaimed wood beds, and the same commitment to sustainability as the building itself. Miami's most premium pool and beach experience by 2026.
Faena Pool & Beach
Miami's most theatrical pool: beneath the arches of the Faena Hotel, surrounded by palm trees and with the same Baz Luhrmann-esque aesthetic that permeates the entire hotel. For non-residents, access is via day pass or consumption at the poolside restaurant.
Dayclub Miami — Seminole Hard Rock
Miami's most intense dayclub. Pool parties from Friday to Sunday with top DJs, bottle service, and a festive energy that starts at noon and doesn't stop until the sun goes down. Miami's Super Paradise.
Miami doesn't have the languid pace of the Riviera or the ritual of a Provençal sunset. Miami is 24 hours of pure intensity. The pool at midday, the rooftop at sunset, dinner at 22:00 PM, LIV at 1:00 AM, and sunrise at E11EVEN. This is the complete plan for those who want nonstop Miami.
Breakfast and Ocean Drive
Cuban coffee at News Café on Ocean Drive. Facing the Art Deco facades illuminated by the morning sun. The time of day when South Beach still belongs to those who live there, not to the tourists.
A stroll through the Art Deco District
From Ocean Drive to Collins Avenue. The 800 buildings of the Miami Beach Architectural District. The best architectural walking tour in the U.S., in 90 minutes. The world's largest open-air museum.
pool club
Delano Beach Club for the most iconic experience. Nikki Beach if brunch and a party atmosphere are the priority. 1 Hotel Beach Deck if sustainable luxury is the criterion. In any case: advance booking is essential.
Rooftop at sunset
Water Rooftop at the 1 Hotel for sunset over the Atlantic. Sugar in Brickell if you've crossed the bay. Juvia on Lincoln Road if you prefer views of the Art Deco. The Miami you see from above is a different city altogether.
Wynwood or Brickell
Wynwood if you want street art and trendy pre-dinner bars. Brickell if you prefer the financial scene and high-rise cocktail bars. Two completely different Miamis, just 15 minutes away by Uber.
Price
Nobu Miami Beach (One Hotels) for Japanese fusion. Zuma Brickell for the Japanese robata grill overlooking the bay. Cote Miami for the Korean steakhouse that's currently the hottest restaurant. Reservations are required for all three.
LIV Miami
The club for Grammy Awards, Super Bowl after-parties, and all the artists who come to Miami. Two floors, spectacular production, world-class DJs. It doesn't start until 1:00 AM. Miami nightlife at its most intense.
E11EVEN — If you don't want to stop
E11EVEN never closes. Ever. 24/7. If LIV closes and the night goes on, E11EVEN is the only place in the world where the party doesn't end until you say it does.
Uber and Lyft work perfectly in Miami. Don't rent a car if you're staying in South Beach—parking is impossible and expensive. To get to Brickell or Wynwood: Uber (10–15 min, $15–$25). For the return trip from LIV or E11EVEN at 4:00 AM: always request an Uber before leaving the club; demand at that hour can triple the price.
Miami nightlife is unrivaled in the U.S. New York has the culture and Los Angeles has the glamour, but neither has Miami's nightlife: the combination of Latin energy, spectacular production, international clientele and a calendar of events that turns the season (November–April) into a succession of nights that compete with each other in quality.
The most famous club in the US. Located in the Fontainebleau Hotel on Collins Avenue. Hosts Grammy after-parties, Super Bowl parties, and private concerts by artists performing in Miami. Featuring top-tier resident DJs and a stage production that makes the venue feel like a concert hall. It doesn't start until 0:30 or 1:00 AM.
The club that never closes. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Downtown Miami. Four floors, circus shows, DJs, artistic performances, and a clientele that arrives at any hour because any hour is valid. The afterparty concept taken to its logical extreme.
The go-to spot for serious electronic music in Miami. The open-air terrace featuring the world's best techno and house DJs, known for sets that start at 6:00 am on Sunday and go well into the afternoon. Club culture at its finest in the Florida heat.
The go-to club for Miami's hip hop and R&B scene. South Beach boasts the best sound system, top-tier resident artists, and a clientele that includes the artists themselves when they're touring in Miami. The perfect complement to LIV if hip hop is your priority.
The antidote to LIV. A small, intimate club in South Beach with the best house and deep house lineup in Miami. No flashy production: just music, top-notch sound, and a clientele that knows what it's looking for. A favorite among DJs vacationing in Miami.
Miami's most popular outdoor bar on the banks of the Miami River. Casual food, cocktails, live music, and the most relaxed atmosphere of all the venues on this list. The perfect option for nights that start early and don't require a full club setup.
Miami boasts some of the world's best rooftop bars, not because of their height—Brickell has 50-story buildings—but because of the unique combination of views they offer: the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Biscayne Bay to the west, the Brickell skyline, and the islands in the bay. This panorama is unlike any other place in the world.
South Beach's most unique rooftop pool bar. Direct views of the Atlantic, a rooftop pool, top-notch service, and the sustainable philosophy of the 1 Hotel. The sunset over the Atlantic from this terrace is one of the best in Miami.
The Asian bar on the 40th floor of EAST Miami. Tropical gardens, an East Asian-inspired cocktail menu, and 360-degree views of Brickell, Biscayne Bay, and Key Biscayne. The most complete rooftop bar and a favorite among Brickell residents.
Brickell's most festive rooftop. Pool, sunbeds, and a DJ lineup that transforms the rooftop into a mid-afternoon pool party. The equivalent of a dayclub, but on the 25th floor of a Brickell hotel.
The most famous rooftop restaurant on Lincoln Road. Mediterranean-Peruvian cuisine, views over South Beach and the Atlantic, and an atmosphere that works equally well for dinner or after-dinner drinks. The place where South Beach locals dine with tourists without anyone noticing the difference.
Miami's gastronomy is as diverse as its population. The capital of Latin America on American soil, the city boasts the best Cuban and Caribbean cuisine outside the Caribbean, but also Nobu, Zuma, Cote, and a fine dining scene that in recent years has risen to the level of the world's most gastronomic cities.
Nobu Miami Beach
Nobu at the 1 Hotel South Beach. Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian fusion on the South Beach rooftop. Black cod with miso, lobster tempura, new robata menu. South Beach's most booked restaurant.
Zuma Miami
Brickell's premier contemporary Japanese restaurant. Robata grill, top-notch sushi bar, and direct views of Biscayne Bay. A favorite among bankers and business travelers seeking a premium dining experience.
Miami Coast
The Korean steakhouse that's taken New York by storm is now in Miami. Korean BBQ at private tables, the finest cuts, fermented sauces, and the ambiance of the city's hottest restaurant in 2026. Real waiting list.
Los Fuegos — Faena Hotel
Francis Mallmann—the world's most famous Argentine chef specializing in open flames—at the Faena Hotel. Meats, fish, and vegetables cooked over an open flame. The most cinematic restaurant in Miami Beach.
Versailles-Restaurant
Little Havana's culinary institution since 1971. Ropa vieja, carne asada, the best Cuban coffee in town. The restaurant where the Cuban-American community celebrates election victories. The most authentic Miami in one restaurant.
News Café — Ocean Drive
Ocean Drive's most famous café since 1988. Breakfast, lunch, and the best terrace for watching South Beach life go by. World-renowned as the last place Gianni Versace had breakfast before his murder in 1997.
South Beach has the world's largest concentration of Art Deco architecture: more than 800 buildings constructed between 1923 and 1943, protected since 1979 and restored since the 80s with an investment that transformed what was a run-down neighborhood into Florida's most valuable real estate tourist destination.
The three kilometers of Ocean Drive between 5th and 15th Streets are home to the most representative Art Deco buildings. The pastel facades, porthole windows, horizontal terraces, and neon lights at night are the image we all have of Miami.
The most important ones: the Cardozo Hotel (1939, designed by Henry Hohauser), the Carlyle Hotel (1941, where Scarface was filmed), the Avalon Hotel, and the Breakwater. The best time to photograph them: at dawn (without tourists) or at dusk when the neon lights begin to illuminate.
The Miami Design Preservation League organizes walking tours of the Art Deco District on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Price: $30 per person. Duration: 90 minutes. The most comprehensive and contextualized tour available.
South Beach at sunset — Art Deco and the Atlantic
The epicenter. 800 buildings between 5th and 15th Streets. The best: Cardozo, Carlyle, Breakwater, Avalon. Best at dawn or early morning.
South Beach's pedestrianized commercial artery. Shops, restaurants, rooftop Juvia, and the Saturday farmers market. South Beach neighborhood life in one stroll.
The most important open-air street art museum in the US. Murals by world-renowned artists on the former industrial buildings of Wynwood. A must-see, especially during Art Basel in December.
Miami boasts some of the best events on the American calendar, concentrated between November and May. These include Art Basel, the Formula 1 Grand Prix, Ultra Music Festival, the Miami Open tennis tournament, and the Super Bowl (held periodically). Each of these events transforms the city in a completely different way.

Miami has 365 days of sunshine, but not all of them are created equal. The dry season (November–April) is when the city operates at its best: events, perfect weather, and more reasonable prices than during the summer peaks.
22–26°C · Low humidity
The busiest social season. High prices (New York and Chicago Snowbirds), packed LIV nights, the Super Bowl (if it's in Miami). The most perfect weather of the year.
25–29°C · Perfect

What is the best month to visit Miami?
November–April is the perfect time to visit: 22–29°C, low humidity, and the city buzzing with social and cultural activity. March is especially good for the Ultra Music Festival and the Miami Open tennis tournament. December is great for Art Basel. May is for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. July and August are for those who can handle the extreme tropical heat (35°C with 90% humidity) in exchange for hotel prices that are 40–50% lower.
How to get to Miami from Europe?
Direct flights from Madrid (Iberia, Air Europa), Barcelona (Level, Vueling seasonal), London (British Airways, Virgin, American), Paris (Air France), Amsterdam (KLM), and other European cities. Flight time: 10–11 hours. Miami International Airport (MIA) is a 20–30 minute taxi or Uber ride from downtown (US$35–US$50). A taxi or Uber to Miami Beach (South Beach) adds 15 minutes and about US$10 to the trip from the airport.
What currency is used for payments in Miami?
US Dollar (USD). International credit and debit cards are accepted everywhere. Apple Pay and contactless payments work perfectly. Prices at restaurants and clubs do not include gratuity—it's customary to leave between 18 and 25%. Upscale clubs automatically add a service charge.
Is Miami safe for tourism?
South Beach, Brickell, and Wynwood are safe areas for tourists. Areas requiring more precautions are located away from the main tourist routes. As always in the US, European travelers should have travel medical insurance—without it, any medical care can be prohibitively expensive.
Do I need a car in Miami?
If you're staying in South Beach: no. Uber and Lyft cover getting around town perfectly well. For day trips to the Everglades, Key West, or Boca Raton, a rental car is convenient. Parking in South Beach during peak season is expensive ($15–$30/hour) and difficult. The best strategy: Uber for getting around, and a rental car only for excursions outside of Miami.
What is the difference between a beach club and a pool club in Miami?
In Miami, the term "pool club" is as common as "beach club" because the dayclub culture often revolves around the hotel pool, not directly on the beach. The Delano Beach Club has both a beach and a pool; the 1 Hotel has a beach deck overlooking the Atlantic; the Seminole Hard Rock's dayclub is entirely poolside. In all cases, the concept is similar: a luxurious daytime experience around the water with table service, DJs, and a minimum spend.
How much does a day pass cost at Miami beach clubs?
Prices vary greatly depending on the venue and time of year. The Delano may have a minimum spend of $100–$200 per person during peak season. Nikki Beach: $80–$150 minimum spend. The 1 Hotel Beach Deck: $75–$150. Seminole pool parties: $50–$100 at the door. On weekends in December and during Formula 1, all prices increase between 30% and 100%.
What clothes to wear to Miami clubs?
The dress code at LIV and Story is fashion-forward: no sportswear, no sandals for men (generally speaking), the more elaborate the better. Club Space is more relaxed, but there's a selection at the door. Do Not Sit On The Furniture has a creative vibe: what matters is the style, not the brand. For daytime pool clubs: swimwear with a sarong or resort wear. In fine dining restaurants: smart casual (suits are not required).
What is the most famous brunch in Miami?
Nikki Beach Miami's Sunday brunch is the most popular beach brunch spot. The brunches at the larger hotels are also highly regarded: Fontainebleau, 1 Hotel, and Faena all offer top-notch options. For a more gourmet brunch, try El Cielo in Brickell or Paladin in South Beach. Reservations are required for all of these during peak season.
How to get into LIV Miami?
Three options: 1) Guest list from a promoter — ask your hotel to add you to the list (free for women, reduced price for men). 2) Table reservation (bottle service) — minimum price between $1.500 and $10.000 depending on the night and location. 3) Queuing at the door — possible during the week, very difficult on Fridays and Saturdays during peak season. The best strategy: contact the hotel concierge or a promoter 24–48 hours in advance.
What is the Ultra Music Festival?
Ultra Music Festival is the most important electronic music festival in the US and one of the largest in the world. It takes place in Bayfront Park, Downtown Miami, over three days in March. World-class DJs and artists perform on multiple stages. Tickets sell out months in advance. During Ultra, Miami hotels and clubs reach their highest prices of the year.
What is Art Basel Miami Beach?
Art Basel Miami Beach is the American version of the world's most important contemporary art fair. It takes place during the first week of December at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Featuring top-tier international galleries, installations in Wynwood and hotels throughout the city, and a week where Miami becomes the world capital of contemporary art. Hotels are booked 3–4 months in advance.
Is this E11EVEN Miami really open 24 hours?
Yes. E11EVEN Miami operates 24/7/365. It has an unlimited opening license, making it the only club of its kind in the US (and possibly the world) with no closing time. The best times are early Friday and Saturday mornings, but Sunday afternoon also has its own clientele.
How many days are enough for Miami?
4–5 days for the essentials: Art Deco, a pool club, Wynwood, Brickell, two nights of nightlife, and at least one rooftop sunset. To add a trip to the Everglades or Key West, 7 days. For an event like Art Basel or Formula 1, the activity is concentrated into 3–4 intense days, but it's best to arrive early and leave late to enjoy the city without the chaos of the event.
All destinations of Sandbeds They have a rhythm. Cannes has the rhythm of the Provençal Mediterranean. Saint-Tropez has the rhythm of pastis and sailboats. Mykonos has the rhythm of the Aegean and the Meltemi. Miami has the only rhythm that never stops: that of the city that decided that 24 hours are not enough to finish what it started at noon in the Delano pool.
Sandbeds This guide is updated every season because Miami changes fast: new hotels, clubs opening and closing, events being added to the calendar. What doesn't change is why Miami is the only American destination in our collection: the combination of beach lifestyle, global nightlife, Art Deco, and world-class events is unique to this city.
The Art Deco of Ocean Drive at dawn. The Delano pool at midday. Sunset over the Atlantic from Waterfront. Nighttime at LIV. And E11EVEN when everything else has closed. Miami is the only destination where all that is possible in the same day.
Miami Beach 2026 — The Atlantic and the Art Deco District
