MIAMI
America's Party City
Miami

Party animals and jet-setters, the muscled and the siliconed, sun-worshipers and bon-vivants flock to Miami's beaches, trendy restaurants, and hip hotels. Arriving on cruise ships or in limos from the airport, Miami is where you go to party and indulge in sunny or moonlit pleasures.

It is a city with a strong Latin flair, attractive Art Deco architecture, and legendary nightlife. Blessed with an oceanfront location and mild year-round climate, there aren't too many other urban destinations as tempting as this one. Whether on a decadent weekend break or on a longer stay, there is enough going on, plenty of scenery, a growing number of art and cultural attractions, and perfect bodies to admire.

Hotels & Hostels
The city's best design, boutique, charm, luxury, and beach hotels, as well as cheap hostels with easy online booking at special rates. All of the best, special, and hip places to stay are HERE (Miami Hotels & Hostels Guide)>>

Sights & Activities
The Art Deco district and the beaches, art and street life, daytrips and tours -- it's all HERE (Miami Sightseeing Guide)>>

Cafés & Restaurants
People-watch or take a break from shopping in Lincoln Road with a drink at one of its cafés. Then give your body enough fuel for a Miami night out clubbing by hitting the restaurants downtown, in Coral Gables, or in South Beach. We've chosen our favorites and we're sharing them HERE (Miami Restaurants Guide)>>

Bars & Clubs
Martinis, mojitos, and models (including those who act and look like them) make up Miami's nightlife. Perhaps even more so than the beaches, nightlife is the city's major attraction, and we've prepared a guide to the places you must go to when in town. See them HERE (Miami Nightlife Guide)>>

Body & Soul
Where do you go to recover from all-night partying in Miami? We have two places to recommend:
Agua Bathhouse Spa at the Delano
This wonderful rooftop spa has a wide range of treatments, inclusing Deep Tissue massage, Aromatherapy, Custom Swedish massage, and Table Shiatsu. You may also choose a Cedarwood or Ocean Rose body scrubs, facials, hair treatments, or meditation.
Elemis Spa
Elemis offers all of the well-known massages and other treatments such as the Hawaiian Wave Four Hand Massage, and a Japanese Silk Booster facial. If you want to share the experience with the one you love, go for the massage class for lovers.

Shopping
The Bal Harbour mall is the destination for high fashion and the American and European designer labels. It was once judged the best mall in America by "the fashion Bible" Women's Wear Daily.
From Bal Harbour to the southern end of South Beach you'll find Collins Avenue, home to some of Miami's most exclusive hotels and restaurants, as well as a few top labels. But the shopping mecca in the city is Lincoln Road, a pedestrian area filled with hip cafes and smart shops. You'll want to check out the independent outlets or visit the well-known brands down the street.

Gay & Lesbian
Beautiful beaches with beautiful bodies, great weather, and hot and sweaty bars and clubs are the ingredients that create the perfect fun gay getaway, and that pretty much also defines Miami! Then there's so-gay Key West nearby and you have one of the top must-go destinations for gay travelers. We have your complete gay guide HERE (Miami Gay Guide)>>
