Staycation in Miami Beach

Planning a trip to Miami Beach can be overwhelming for anyone (we live ~1 hour away and it feels like a new beach to me every time I visit). There are so many different levels of ‘Miami’ adventures you can have in a weekend.

The key to having a good time is identifying the kind of experience you want to have and then make a loose plan around that. Our ideal Miami Beach experience consists of morning coffee and acai bowls by the pool, afternoon walks on the boardwalk, rosé at sunset, and late night dinners.

Below is our itinerary from a recent weekend in Miami Beach. I’ve also added a list of spots we’ve been to in previous trips for you to reference! Have a Soleil Day :)
