Why Miami
Warm water, Art Deco streets and a strong Latin American influence on food and music.
Miami splits naturally in two: Miami Beach, on the barrier island with its Art Deco district and long sands, and the mainland city of Brickell, Downtown and Little Havana. Many visitors combine both, and it is also a common starting point for cruises and the Florida Keys.
- Beaches
- Long stretches of sand along Miami Beach, from South Beach northwards.
- Art Deco
- Pastel 1930s hotels along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue.

Getting around
Arriving in Miami.
Miami International (MIA) is west of Downtown, with Metrorail and taxis into the city. Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood (FLL), to the north, is a common alternative. Miami Beach is a drive across the causeways, so a pre-arranged transfer is often easiest.

When planning matters
Worth sorting out before you go.
- Check entry requirements early
- Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and change over time. Please confirm with the official guidance for your route.
- Travel dates make a difference
- School holidays, festivals and peak seasons affect what's available. If your dates are flexible, tell us — it gives us more to work with.
- Plan the arrival, not just the flight
- Late-night and early-morning arrivals are much easier with a transfer arranged in advance.
- Match the stay to the plan
- Choose the area around what you'll actually do each day, not only the hotel itself.
