SAIL ACROSS BISCAYNE BAY
Miami is a truly special destination for celebrating love in many ways. But without a doubt, this beautiful bay is the highlight of any trip to the city. In just 90 minutes, you can take in the view of the white sands of South Beach, the beauty of Fisher Island and Star Island, the striking Miami skyline... and much more. The perfect plan? Hold your loved one’s hand while feeling and breathing in the sea breeze, learning a bit about the city’s history and culture along the way. The ultimate touch is to rent a private boat, allowing you to dock wherever you please and turn the outing into a completely flexible, spontaneous experience.
ENJOY A POOL DAY
This is a city blessed with sunshine all year round, so it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to spend a day by the pool at one of the hotels in Miami. Even more so when it’s at the Iberostar Berkeley, where time drifts by between refreshing dips and hours of sun in the heart of South Beach. Because who knows? Maybe an entire day by the pool, catching up on that long-awaited book and enjoying quality time with the best company, is the perfect way to spark the flame of love for the night ahead...
DINNER AT THE RUSTY PELICAN IN KEY BISCAYNE WITH THE MIAMI SKYLINE IN THE BACKGROUND
Right in Key Biscayne lies The Rusty Pelican, one of the best choices for dinner or drinks with a view of the city. Here, Miami’s shimmering skyscrapers blend with the soothing sound of the sea—a combination that takes romance to the next level. The cocktails are freshly crafted by expert bartenders, while the menu features contemporary American cuisine and standout seafood dishes. All of this comes together in an elegant setting with a relaxed atmosphere that draws many celebrities looking to enjoy an unforgettable romantic experience.
A STROLL ALONG MIAMI BEACH AT SUNRISE
If you can resist the temptation to stay in bed, getting up early to watch the sunrise over Miami Beach with your loved one is a truly unique experience. Miami Beach stretches for about forty blocks (roughly six and a half kilometers), a distance you can cover barefoot—walking along the sand or following the Miami Beach Boardwalk, a popular route for runners and cyclists. But the magical moment arrives when the sun rises over the horizon and the Miami cityscape glows with a golden hue. It’s the perfect way to begin a day in this vibrant city.
A VISIT TO THE PÉREZ ART MUSEUM
Cultural couples have a date at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, one of the world’s best places to enjoy contemporary art. What was once a neglected 12-hectare site on Miami’s coast has been transformed into an institution designed to promote and showcase the diversity of the city’s many communities. Dedicated to the art and language of the 20th and 21st centuries, the museum—known as PAMM—highlights different cultures from around the globe.
CANOE OR KAYAK THROUGH THE MANGROVES
Miami’s natural beauty extends far beyond its stunning beaches and the turquoise waters of South Beach. That’s why it’s worth taking a tour through the magical and unique mangrove tunnels found along various coastal areas of Florida. Whether by canoe or kayak, paddling through these waters lets you glide beneath the mangrove canopies, spot gentle manatees and other marine species, and listen in peace to the birds singing in the trees. And if you join a guided tour, the experience will also be educational, offering insight into the importance of this vital ecosystem for Florida’s environment.
DINE AT WYNWOOD YARD
The perfect spot for a casual date in Miami is Wynwood Yard. This entrepreneurial and creative hub acts as an incubator for independent Miami businesses that come here to test their ideas and introduce them to the community. The food trucks are constantly changing, though you can always count on finding hot dogs, barbecue, mac and cheese, pizza, and tacos—all made with care and creativity. In fact, many say they’re even better than in other parts of the city. And if food isn’t your main interest, you’re still in luck: the venue hosts live concerts five nights a week.
The ultimate paradise for fashion-loving couples is Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. This pedestrian street is the perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon shopping, dining, and people-watching. Here, curious eyes and trend-spotting instincts lead to stores like Anthropologie, Zara, Nike, Forever 21, and many more. Another great option is simply admiring the window displays as if they were works of art, before ending the day with a refreshing drink alongside other travelers at one of its many terraces. Thanks to Miami’s endless sunshine, there are plenty of shaded tables where you can watch the world go by in a romantic, fashion-forward atmosphere.
VIZCAYA GARDEN
Located north of Coconut Grove, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens offer the chance to stroll through a National Historic Landmark that was once the home of James Deering in 1910. The combination of the mansion and gardens creates an entirely unexpected setting in eclectic Miami, evoking a European charm reminiscent of the most romantic corners of Italy or France. It’s worth getting lost in the Secret Garden, reaching the Fountain Garden, and finding your way out of the Maze—ornamental grounds filled with subtropical plants that have perfectly adapted to the landscape, lending it a subtle yet captivating sense of passion.
PADDLEBOARDING THROUGH MIAMI’S WATERS
Seeing the Miami skyline from a paddleboard is a completely different experience from viewing it on a cruise or a boat. The views may be the same, but sharing the moment as a couple makes it truly unique and intimate. Whether gliding over the calm waters of Indian Creek or paddling at night (on an LED-lit board), watching the day unfold and the colors shift creates unforgettable moments. It’s an experience that becomes magical when shared with someone you love.
