Kosher Miami Ultra-Luxury Guide: 5-Star Hotels, Fine Dining, VIP Sports & Couture Shopping
Curated By
Carly Shaul
Curator’s statement
Miami is a five-star playground for kosher travelers: iconic oceanfront resorts, a sophisticated kosher dining scene, and seamless Shabbat logistics at the highest level. I design itineraries where every touch feels elevated—VIP arena clubs, private yacht days with a kosher chef, personal shopping at couture flagships, and elegant dinners that double as celebrations. Each neighborhood brings a different luxury note, from Surfside’s kosher “strip” beside Bal Harbour’s ateliers to Aventura’s suite-friendly resorts and designer mall. This guide focuses on polished stays, refined kosher dining, and bespoke experiences for families, simchas, and corporate retreats.

Things to do in Miami
Pro sports, courtside & suites
Make it marquee with premium seats or a private suite for the Miami Heat (NBA), Miami Dolphins (NFL), Inter Miami CF (MLS), Miami Marlins (MLB) or Florida Panthers (NHL). I handle chauffeured transfers, VIP entrances, and, where possible, kosher-friendly in-suite hospitality.
Bal Harbour Shops (personal shopping)
Couture flagships in a tranquil, open-air garden setting. I arrange private fitting rooms, stylist pulls, trunk-show previews, and same-day tailoring.
Aventura Mall (luxury shopping mall)
One of Miami’s leading luxury shopping malls featuring marquee designer brands and premium boutiques, museum-worthy art installations, and white-glove amenities (VIP valet, concierge, private styling suites).
Ideal when you’re based at Turnberry or in Aventura/NMB. I can pre-arrange private styling and truly hands-free package service.
Miami Design District
Architectural showpieces, gallery previews, and flagship boutiques. Add a driver and bag-handling for a seamless afternoon.
Wynwood Walls (private/before-hours option)
Iconic murals and side-street galleries; a private guide elevates the experience with insider stories and curated photo stops. Pair with an early pastry run afterward to Zak the Baker.
Vizcaya Museum & Gardens
A Gilded-Age villa on Biscayne Bay with formal gardens. Arrive early for soft light and timeless portraits.
Private Yacht Charter (kosher-ready)
Biscayne Bay sandbars or a sunset skyline cruise. I can coordinate a kosher chef, sealed ingredients, and dedicated serveware, plus premium bar and water toys.
Tidal Cove Waterpark (Aventura)
Reserve a cabana for a polished family day between celebratory dinners. A lazy river, slides, and private service keep it luxe. (Note: They do not have kosher food at the waterpark, but you can still get drinks and it’s refreshing.)
Places to eat & drink in Miami
Silan (The Alexander, Miami Beach; meat): Elevated kosher dining with ocean breezes; polished enough for milestone celebrations and sheva brachot, with easy pre-arranged group menus.
Harbour Grill (Surfside; meat): A Surfside classic for refined steaks and sushi. Prime times book out—reserve well in advance for the best tables.
Soho Asian Bar & Grill (Aventura; meat): Eclectic Asian menu with a strong sushi program and a lively, celebratory atmosphere. Ideal for birthdays and groups.
JZ Steakhouse (Hollywood; meat): White-tablecloth steakhouse known for premium cuts and attentive service. Perfect for simcha dinners or executive meals.
Neya (Surfside; dairy): Modern Israeli/Mediterranean with bright, seasonal plates and a stylish room. A chic choice for lunch or lighter dinner.
Rustiko (Surfside; dairy): Upscale Italian-leaning with handmade pastas and beautiful plating. Intimate enough for date night, flexible for small groups.
Zak the Baker (Wynwood; dairy bakery/café): Artisanal breads and viennoiserie after a mural stroll. Arrive early for the best selection and café seating.
Grand Cafe (Aventura; dairy, sushi & lounge hours): Open later than most bakeries and stocks pastries from Moran—perfect for post-dinner dessert and coffee when Moran’s bakery has closed (Moran typically closes around 5 pm).
Café Noir (Hollywood; dairy): A polished brunch choice (pizzas, pastas, salads) with a relaxed, upscale feel. Great for family meetups.
Fuego by Mana (North Miami Beach; meat/smokehouse): Generous steaks, burgers, and smokehouse favorites that please a crowd. Book ahead for prime evenings.
Need to know
Shabbat & Kashrut (luxury level)
I confirm eruv status, candle-lighting times, Shabbat elevators/keys, and late check-outs. I also arrange pre-booked Shabbat meals (Altair offers kosher breakfast and advance-bookable meals). Always verify current supervision and hours—especially around holidays and peak weekends.
Markets & private provisioning
Sarah’s Tent and Kosher Kingdom (Aventura) are your premium sources for cuts, prepared salads, bakery, and Israeli staples. I pre-stock suites with custom hampers, pool-day picnic boxes, and VIP kiddush spreads.
VIP sports access
From premium club seating to private suites for Heat/Dolphins/Inter-Miami/Marlins/Panthers, I secure tickets, transfers, expedited entry, and kosher-friendly in-suite service where available.
Yachts & events
Private yacht charters are fully kosher-ready with a dedicated chef, sealed ingredients, and disposable/dedicated serveware—ideal for proposals, sheva brachot, milestone birthdays, and corporate hosting.
Room blocks & venues
For simcha weekends, I shortlist The St. Regis, Surf Club, Acqualina, 1 Hotel, Turnberry, Altair, and Alexander based on event scale and kashrut needs. I handle buyouts, rentals, florals, entertainment, and permits so everything is turnkey.
Cruises & extensions
Add a kosher-hosted cruise from Miami, continue to Panama (another luxury kosher hotspot), or plan a chauffeured culinary detour to Malka in West Palm Beach.
Hands-free package service
I coordinate concierge, runner/porter, valet, and hotel bell desk so you never carry bags. Purchases are collected from each boutique, staged at valet, or delivered to your suite in real time.
Logistics
Peak season is December–April. Lock in dining, suites, and game tickets early. I arrange VIP airport meet and greet, black-car SUVs/Sprinters (with child seats), private security, and in-suite babysitting for a seamless, high-touch stay.
