As they say, Miami isn't just a destination – it's a mood. Whether you're here for a quick stay or a few days to explore, there's always more to discover beyond the shoreline. Cruise Ocean Drive, where neon signs glow over classic Art Deco façades. Explore Wynwood, the city's bold arts district filled with murals, galleries, and coffee spots. Then head to Little Havana, where Cuban coffee, live music, and sidewalk domino games bring Calle Ocho to life. The Magic City blends art, energy, and culture in a way that feels effortless. At Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel, you're right in the middle of it all—close to the beach, nightlife, and everything worth seeing. We've put together four itineraries to help you make the most of Miami—whether you're here for a short escape, an extended stay, a family trip, or a getaway for two.
