High design, state-of-the-art amenities and sexy dining options come requisite at the latest spate of private members’ club hotels around the U.S. But when you check into one, you’re also checking into a locals’ lifestyle—and not just any local. You might be drawn to the exclusive air of these buzzy spaces, or maybe you’re interested in tapping into a more discerning side of the city. Some are spots where you can get clued into a cool new gallery show while sipping a margarita by the pool, or strike up an elevator chat about where to find the most authentic food. Others offer a level of seclusion and intimacy second only to your own home. Our favorite private members’ hotels in the U.S. transport you to another, smaller world, one that feels like it was always waiting for you to arrive.

There are two types of people in Miami: the haves (a boat), and the have-nots (sigh). No one reading this is part of the first group, so we can all commiserate here. Yes, there’s plenty to see on land and lots of things to do in Miami, but the fact is if you’re not getting out on the water, you’re doing something wrong. Especially you water signs, we're looking at you.  Luckily, Miami’s best boat tours have something to offer every type of seafarer, from nature excursions to adrenaline-pumping speedboats and DJ’d booze cruises - the perfect thing for a celebration. Many even pull right up to some of Miami’s best waterfront restaurants and bars, just be careful not to fall in the water while boarding! Here are some of our most-loved boat tours in Miami, chock-full of cheesy celebrity spotting, al fresco drinking, and other aquatic adventures in South Florida. Sounds like a great way to spend your break, right? RECOMMENDED: 📍 The best things to do for locals and tourists in MiamiThis article includes affiliate links.

The holidays might be over, but January in Miami is almost as intense when it comes to things to do around town. The weather forecast is glorious, making this an ideal time to slow down and enjoy the simpler things that Miami's brisk weather makes all the better.

But if you'd rather keep up the momentum, we've got plenty of weekend events on our radar in Miami this weekend. We're talking about fresh theater and comedy shows, a new Ru Paul's Drag Race watch party in Wynwood and the conclusion of Fairchild's mesmerizing Night at the Garden light show.

Now that Art Basel has come and gone, it’s our duty to remind you that art in Miami is very much a thing year-round. Seriously! Apart from the sunny sands of South Beach and the infamous Miami nightlife, our city is home to world-class artists and cultural institutions people go out of their way to visit. It’s true, Miami museums have grown in popularity over the years, giving rise to experiential exhibitions, indoor graffiti retrospectives and community-focused programming. Ready for a worthwhile culture fix? Here’s our guide to the best museums in Miami, including the cost of admission and operating hours for each.

Perk number 7,345,689 of living in Miami? There are plenty of destinations within a quick-ish drive. Sure, geographically, we may be at the Southern tip of the continental US, but there are plenty of unique beach landscapes, inland treasures and, yes, even further southern destinations to dabble in.

When the questions like Where can I find a good mojito in Miami? or Where can I go to listen to salsa music? come up, Little Havana is the answer. As the cultural heart of Miami's Latino immigrant community, this historic and iconic neighborhood is where Latin heritage thrives through architecture, music and food. It’s also a fantastic place to grab a drink.  The neighborhood is home to one of the World’s 50 Best Bars, one of the best live music venues in Miami and plenty of other watering holes where salsa pours out like rum on a balmy day. The area can skew a bit touristy by day, but that comes with certain perks. For example, it’s just as buzzy on a Wednesday afternoon as it is on a Saturday, so no one will judge you if you order a mojito at 11am. By night, it’s a favorite local hangout with speakeasies, nautical dives and more. With our guide to the best Little Havana bars, you’ll be swigging and swinging ’til el gallo crows.

Not all beaches are created equal. That becomes abundantly clear when you live near one of the world’s best and then try leaving. (Sorry, Rockaway. You’re cute but it’s just not the vibe.) In Miami, it’s actually hard to find a beach you won’t like. Still, we all have our favorites, and different occasions call for different beaches. Yes, we have that many. Looking to chill in nature? Perhaps try a beach on Key Biscayne. Wanna strip down to your birthday suit? Haulover (the nude section) is your destination. Ready to party? We probably don’t have to tell you which beach is best for that. From sunbathing meccas to shady spots for picnicking, these are our picks for the best beaches in Miami.

South Beach: Miami’s O.G. epicenter of cacophonously touristy bars, home to the city’s sugariest, not-at-all-a-deal two-for-one drinks! But is that it? Is that all this balmy strip of barrier island has to offer? Come out with us for a night and you’ll think twice before writing off the bar scene in SoBe. Whether hidden within boutique hotels, tucked away in unassuming alleyways or proudly perched along the main thoroughfares, South Beach boasts an impressive array of watering holes that cater to every taste and vibe—you just need to know where to look. From sleek rooftop lounges with panoramic views to new neighborhood classics, here’s your guide to the best bars in South Beach right now. RECOMMENDED: Full guide to South Beach, Miami

January 2025: Winter in Miami is in full swing and we can barely keep up with the barrage of concerts, festivals and outdoor events—let alone all the adorable farmers and flea markets that make us feel like we're living in a Nora Ephron film. Now that we've made it out of holiday madness, January is a great time to get your steps in while the weather's still gorgeous. (We recently updated our guide to Miami's best hikes and nature walks, if that sounds like your journey). Get ahead of the chaos by perusing our up-to-the-minute guide to the best things to do in Miami right now. Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors and contributors.

If you’re planning a visit to Miami’s Coconut Grove, you’re likely already privy to the many qualities that make the area unique and, yes, worth sacrificing the beach for. This leafy swath of bayfront just south of the city core has a chic bohemian vibe, and Mayfair House Hotel & Garden perfectly encapsulates the neighborhood’s essence. The hotel opened in 1984 with an eye-catching organic design by the architect and sculptor Kenneth Treister. In 2022, it reopened following a meticulous renovation by New York-based studio Goodrich. Its best feature—the central atrium where lush greenery cascades into a network of flowing pools and fountains—remains intact. The spacious rooms, which nearly all boast their own private garden balconies, have been updated in moody jewel tones with plush white bedding and vintage accents. Despite all the greenery in and surrounding the hotel, Mayfair House doesn’t bill itself as a “wellness” or “eco” hotel. You won’t find a spa on property, though you can upgrade your stay with a soaking menu designed to maximize your personal clawfooted tub. And should you wish to venture into nature, the hotel is equipped with free bikes for guests to explore the Grove’s verdant parks and waterfront trails. It’s also pet and family-friendly (though the romantic vibe here makes it feel more like a couples’ retreat.) You’re choosing Mayfair House for the vibes: the ornate light fixtures, elaborate tilework and intricate tropical details laced throughout the proper

The NYC-imported Smorgasburg, Miami's largest outdoor food market, returns to its Wynwood outpost for a new season featuring over 40 vendors (including 10 new concepts) and more shaded areas for noshing. Graze from a variety of local street foods, international fare, healthy options and inventive creations from the likes of Acai Way, Korean Kitchen, Kabuki Soba, The Lazy Oyster, La Picaña Grill, Lechona Truck, Tio Paella, Puro Chocolate, Cool & Creamy Truck and more.

Rev your engines! The legendary RuPaul's Drag Race returns for its 17th season, and Willy's Neighborhood Bar in Wynwood is throwing weekly watch parties to catch all the action. Miami's own glam queen Patent Pending hosts on Friday nights with Drag Race Happy Hour kicking off at 6pm (giving you ample time to get lubed up before the show at 8pm). For a full-throttle night, stick around after the credits for F Word Fridays in the backyard.

The Miami outpost of this popular Hollywood original makes its home in Little Havana, where it peddles late-night Japanese fare to the area’s hungry (and often drunken) masses daily until midnight. Menu highlights include pork belly and soft shell crab steamed buns and tangy, sticky Gangnam wings. It also boasts a selection of sushi rolls and special maki, and a hangover ramen to soak up all of last night’s booze. But the real stars of the show are GoBistro’s steamy ramen bowls. Choose from tonkotsu, miso, shoyu or spicy curry (veggie options are also available), or treat yourself with the tom yum shrimp ramen. No matter which route you take, you’re in for a super satisfying, proper bowl of ramen: wavy, medium-thick noodles cooked to perfection in a complex, rich and well-seasoned broth.

Relive all things Jazz Age at the Miami Design Preservation League’s annual festival, with free events and activities including the artisan and antiques marketplace, a classic car show, lectures, films, guided architectural tours and a variety of musical performances. The theme for this 48th edition is "Celebrating Art Deco Centennial 1925-2025," looking back on 100 years of Art Deco influence in Miami. 

This lavish showcase geared towards all automobile enthusiasts, from connoisseurs to the car-curious, takes over the lush fairway of the JW Marriott Turnberry Resort’s championship golf course for a fourth year with more than 200 classic and contemporary whips. Unlike some of the more standard, stuffy Concours shows around the world, the Motorcar Cavalcade judging panel pairs experts with VIP celebrities and athletes for entertaining and unabashedly subjective evaluations. Even more unusual, both classic and modern vehicles compete in the same classes to secure their prized trophy. This year's judges have yet to be revealed, but last year included Motorsports Hall of Fame racing legends Lyn St. James and Tommy Kendall, among others. Early pricing tickets for the general public are now available, starting at $95 for a Concours Access Pass, $395 for Concours All Inclusive and Concours VIP for $795 per guest.  

A vegetarian restaurant wasn’t high on my wishlist of new neighborhood spots. But Flora's charming outdoor patio with its thatched roof and swaying basket lanterns lured me, along with aromas of potent espresso and fresh-baked pastries. As it turns out, Flora is a lovely spot for a morning catch-up with a friend. I found no fault in the earthy and sleek wood-clad dining room, nor in the vegetarian brunch (though my morning appetite typically calls for meat).  Then they launched dinner service, and I was officially sold. Flora Plant Kitchen serves mostly vegetables, but it’s not vegan. That means you’ll find animal products like dairy and eggs on the menu, which is a relief for anyone who’s ever considered going plant-based and shuddered at the thought of a life without cheese.  Who needs meat when a veggie tartare of charcoal asparagus and tricolor heirloom carrots tastes better than the real thing? My favorite dish of the night was drizzled with yuzu hollandaise and served with a side of yuka and mushroom chicharrón with mixed seeds. I am not embellishing when I say that the mushroom chicharrón delivered the same salty, umami, melt-in-your-mouth magic as the pork version (and maybe even tasted better knowing no animal was harmed in its creation.) Another highlight from my meal was the Mushroom & Mash, a juicy and sizable maitake mushroom and Swiss chard grilled over charcoal and served in a bright and tangy sauce, paired with the silkiest truffle mashed potatoes. It hit ever

Snap photos with Santa on his chair under an elegantly decorated archway as he joins the festivities on December 14, 21 and 24 from 6 to 9pm.

Key Biscayne treasure Vinya Wine & Market welcomes in a few of its top partners for another edition of its Grand Tasting series, and this time it's a holiday blowout. On Saturday, November 23rd, enjoy a leisurely, indoor-outdoor tasting featuring over 100 fine wines including Burgundy, Barolo and Champagne (plus more bubbles from around the world). Explore classics, meet up-and-coming producers and learn about various winemaking styles at this day-drinking event hosted and curated by Vinya's pro somm, Allegra Angelo. The $99 ticket includes three hours of friendly pours and lots of bonus perks, like a cheesecake pop-up from one of Miami's faves, complimentary cheese and charcuterie, a rum tasting by Brugal, a Guess the Grape game with prizes and special pricing on mix-and-match six-packs to go.  

After a grueling election cycle, the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami and Power For Good have joined forces to host a day-long community gathering that celebrates the important work of social justice being done year-round. Starting at 10am on Saturday, November, 16, partake in uplifting wellness offerings like reiki and sound healing and performances by DJ FlyGuy, The People's Choir and Jacareo bringing bomba y plena vibes. The free party also includes museum tours, live art and art-making, a panel discussion, poetry readings and food trucks with food available for purchase.

Sana Skin Studio wins our award for Miami's most aesthetic facial spa. Founded in 2020 by Valentina Hernandez-Botero, Sana has since expanded from its original Wynwood boutique to locations in Coconut Grove and Fort Lauderdale, with additional openings in Palm Beach and New York on the horizon, too. The ethos here is mindful, goals-driven facials performed using only clean beauty products without any harmful ingredients. The studio spaces embody this as well. It's an earthy palette of terracotta hues, linen drapes and dried tropicals dotting an artfully curated retail shop in front. In back, the private treatment rooms double down on the zen vibes: dim lighting and a chill playlist set the scene for your healer to perform their magic—leaving your skin glowy, hydrated and healthy. Choose from three base facial types plus a variety of add-ons like peels, microcurrents, gua sha massage, LED light therapy and more. It's all very customizable, with two membership options for those dedicated to long-term results.

This Italian bistro in Coconut Grove is the first U.S. venture from 84 Magic Hospitality, founded by Ignacio Lopez Mancisidor, Mattia Cicognani and third-generation restaurateur Andrea Fraquelli, whose family’s roots in hospitality trace back to Italy and the iconic Savoy Hotel in London. The simple menu is set year-round and inspired by restaurants such as New York's Le Relais de Venise L'Entrecôt. A brief wine list, just one red and one white from a small vineyard in Italy, accompanies the meal, served by the glass, carafe or bottle. Reservations are made by phone only. Order this: The signature Cotoletta alla Milanese with a side of homemade spaghetti, arugula salad and fries

Here at Time Out, our mission is to bring you the very best of Miami, and that very importantly includes Miami's best restaurants. Of course, on that mission, we editors find ourselves dining out quite a lot. Whether we're trying out the latest buzzy concept from one of the city's homegrown star chefs, hunting down the most delicious new smash burger in a tidal wave of Miami smash burgers or suiting up to make it past the velvet rope at South Beach's hottest new clubstaurant, it's all in day's work to present you with our findings. Though we don't give full, rated reviews to every Miami restaurant, bar or venue we visit, we take a lot of time and care with the ones we do.

In case you need something else to be excited about heading into the last full week of 2024, two new highly anticipated Miami restaurants are slated to open their doors to the public for the first time this weekend. A third, from one of Miami's most lauded homegrown chefs, opened last weekend. As we know, 'tis the season to get your reservations in early, since the snowbirds will soon be flocking ashore, snapping up seats at all of Miami's most coveted restaurants. Let's break down three new Miami restaurants that are destined to become hotspots this winter.

The newest addition to MFG's ever-growing Miami portfolio follows a similar format as their other spots, including signature dishes like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Veal Parmesan, plus new items created by chef Mario Carbone, like a Shrimp Toast with bruschetta featuring ruby red shrimp, Calabrian chili and sesame. As the name hints, Vino also offers a dynamic beverage program featuring an extensive rotating selection of fine and rare by-the-glass offerings. With a design modeled off the original in New York’s Greenwich Village with art curated by gallerist Vito Schnabel, the restaurant's vibe is moody and romantic with a main dinin

Palm Beach just got a culinary upgrade with the opening of Malka, a kosher concept from famed Israeli chef Eyal Shani. When the beloved Tel Avivian restaurant opened its first NYC outpost last year, "Both the kosher and non-kosher masses flocked to the destination to indulge in the restaurant's legendary Malka schnitzel stuffed with mashed potatoes," Time Out New York's Anna Rahmanan wrote. Photograph: Courtesy Malka West Palm BeachThe most famous schnitzel Now, South Floridians (some might call us residents of the sixth borough) can try out the schnitzel for themselves, along with a mix of Malka classics and several new dishes original to the West Palm Beach location. Though this isn't the chef's first venture in South Florida (Shani is also behind the flashy HaSalon in South Beach), Malka West Palm Beach marks the concept's first U.S. outpost outside of NYC and the third outside of Tel Aviv. What sets apart Malka West Palm Beach is the history of the space it occupies—formerly (and ironically) a butcher shop and factory. Located at 209 6th Street in an up-and-coming swath of West Palm Beach waterfront, the restaurant already housed an open-fire wood-burning kitchen as its central focal point when Shani moved in. It's served as the inspiration behind much of Malka's menu. Photograph: Amit GeronThe open-fire kitchen at Malka West Palm Beach Mirroring the unique structure of the kitchen, the menu is divided into categories including Knife Works, Cast Iron Works and Fire Wo

Locals' hearts collectively broke when it was announced in July that Shuckers would close after more than 30 years in business. The North Bay Village go-to for casual waterfront dining was nestled at the base of a boutique Best Western hotel that had been charmingly spared from decades of Miami redevelopment waves, until now.  In perhaps one of the fastest renovations and rebrandings ever—even for Miami—Palm Tree Club is set to officially open to the public on December 21 at the former Shuckers and Best Western site. The lifestyle hospitality concept comes courtesy of DJ Kygo and Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew, in collaboration with Think Hospitality and New York and Miami-based Continuum Continuum. Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree CrewPalm Tree Club “We’re thrilled to launch Palm Tree Club and introduce our hospitality offering to Miami,” Shear said in a statement. “This is a new chapter for our brand, and it’s all about blending the energy of live events with the laid-back spirit of this historic waterfront retreat.” Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree Crew Interestingly, the 1970s-era property doesn’t look all that different than it did a couple of months ago when Shuckers closed its proverbial doors for the last time. This 115-room hotel and restaurant has been given a rapid refresh with tropical-inspired decor throughout, Art Deco-inspired room interiors, a 24-hour fitness center and an updated pool deck with complimentary chaise loungers, green striped umbrellas and automate

Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas. Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.” What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like?  The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely. According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F. At this point, the forecast for December 25 is looking relatively consistent across the city, with similar predictions for Miami Beach. Expect about 25% cloud cover throughout the day. Is it going to rain on Christmas Day? Presently, rain in Miami on Christmas Day is looking somewhat unlikely, with Accuweather predicting 0.00 inches of precipitation throughout the day. Other outlets, like The Weather Channel, show a 16% chance of rain in the day and a 24% in the evening. You might encounter a sprinkle or two, but the chances of a Miami thunderstorm on Christmas Day seem pretty low right now. What will the weather in Miami be like on Christmas Eve? Chr

We know our way around a piece of meat here at Time Out. So much so that we’ve just dropped our brand new list of the very best steaks in the world. Our writers and editors from across the globe have added to our top 10 of the mightiest meats, with a Miami steakhouse securing the No. 2 spot in the ranking.  Among the barrage of buzzy Miami restaurant openings over the last few years, Klaw in Edgewater stands out as a spot that not only passes the vibe check but also actually has the high-caliber menu to match. Klaw is a luxurious steakhouse perched at the top of a beautifully restored historic building with truly stunning views of Biscayne Bay, especially at sunset. And the prices reflect that. But on the extensive steak and seafood menu you can also find more approachable options, including one we've singled out as our favorite steak in Miami. Klaw has partnered with local ranchers to serve Florida Cracker Cattle, one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the U.S. (It’s claimed that one of their partners can trace the DNA of their cattle back to the original herd brought to Florida in 1521). Priced at $85, we went for the 16 oz. Florida Cracker striploin, cooked medium-rare. It was juicy and tender, and though it came with a side of two delicious sauces, we found its wood-fired flavor shines best on its own. Plus, Florida Cracker meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids since the cattle graze on grass instead of corn. The list was topped by El Toro in Agadir, Morocco at number one

Waymo has just announced that it will expand its autonomous driving technology to Miami, joining Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, where the robotaxis have already taken over the streets (kidding!). Beginning in early 2025, Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will be redeployed around Miami, building on previous road trips throughout Florida that were carried out during the rainy season to enhance driving capabilities. They aim to begin accepting rides in 2026, offering a driverless ride-hailing service via the Waymo One app.  Waymo (owned by Google's parent company Alphabet) has partnered with Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, to manage its fleet operations, facilities and charging infrastructure. "Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged,” says Ladi Delano, co-founder and co-CEO at Moove. "Together, we’re driving a major shift." So, how do Waymo's robotaxis work? Last year, we got to go for a ride in a Waymo car during the launch of the Waymo One Tour program in Santa Monica and Venice—and we’ve been (mostly) impressed ever since. “Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is anxiety-inducing, exciting and oddly normal—basically in that order," wrote our Los Angeles and Western USA editor Michael Juliano at the time. “Even if you routinely drive a car outfitted with advanced assistance features, it can’t prepare you for the radically different sensati

It's a dining guide that's as exclusive as it sounds: La Liste bills itself as "the most selective global guide of restaurants, pastry shops and hotels, for gourmets and international travelers," and it's just released its annual ranking of the best eateries in the world. The 2025 list is based on a "compilation of thousands of publications, hundreds of guidebooks and millions of online reviews." And four Miami spots have made the cut. We can't say we're surprised! Before we dive into the rankings, here's a bit on La Liste's methodology: According to the website, the staff aggregates reviews from over 1,000 guidebooks and publications, enters them into a database and then assigns each entry a score from 0 to 100 based on standard grades. But it goes even deeper: Chefs around the globe are asked to weigh in on the various guidebooks so that the outlets themselves can be given a "trustworthiness index" score that impacts the standard grade given to the restaurants. Finally, customer reviews are given consideration before each entry receives its official "La Liste score." This year, the top Miami restaurant with an 86.50 La Liste score is Naoe, a five-seat omakase counter on Brickell Key helmed by Kevin Cory, a chef with Japanese roots who studied under masters from Kyoto and Toyama before pioneering the now ubiquitous omakase restaurant experience in Miami. Interestingly, Naoe has yet to receive recognition from the Michelin Miami guide, though it's on our own list of Miami's b

Nightlife in Miami is notoriously over-the-top. Here, it's not unusual to segue straight from dinner to dancing on the tables. Fire dancers and aerialists come standard with bottle service and booming sound systems. And while most places are closing up shop by 2am elsewhere around the country, Miami's nightclubs are just getting started, with many staying up until 5am and a select few keeping the party going well into the daylight hours. In fact, a recent study confirmed that Miami parties later than any other city in the U.S. So it comes as no surprise that two illustrious Miami nightclubs have been named in Nightlife International's top 100 list for 2024. E11even Miami and Club Space just ranked in the No. 6 and No. 18 spots, respectively—joining iconic venues like Hi Ibiza (No. 1), Pacha Ibiza (No. 11), London’s Fabric (No. 26) and Berlin’s notoriously exclusive Berghain (No. 51). The list is produced annually by Nightlife International, the first non-profit organization in the world formed specifically to represent the main stakeholders in the nightlife economy. E11even and Space are longtime neighbors in Downtown, serving as anchors in a Miami neighborhood that's been steadily increasing its nightlife, dining and cultural offerings. Though they're both known for their debaucherous after-hours parties, the two clubs are actually quite different.
