A Perfect Long Weekend in Miami

Arrive at MIA and grab an Uber. Don't take a cab—it'll be expensive with the traffic to Miami Beach!

Check into Andaz Miami Beach for your first two nights. The Andaz was recently renovated with neutral tones. With Fora Perks, hopefully your room will be ready early, but if it's not, change into your bathing suit anyway and hit the adults-only pool.

For dinner, head back over the bridge to COTE Miami and get the Butcher's Feast to taste all of the incredible steak cuts. Afterwards, head to Dante HiFi for a dimly lit, vibey nightcap with vinyls spinning. Reservations are key here if you want to sit down.

Wake up at your leisure and head to Aguasal for your complimentary breakfast, thanks to Fora Perks. Sit on the patio for al fresco dining that leads straight to the pool when you are done.

Around 2 pm, when the sun goes behind the hotel, head to the private beach, where chairs and service are included. Order an afternoon cocktail and hope the water is warm!

When your winter skin has had enough sun, head inside to get ready for dinner at Stubborn Seed in South Beach. At this Michelin-starred restaurant, the tasting menu and wine pairing are unique—it was the first time I've had sake in a wine pairing.

After another complimentary breakfast at the Andaz, pack up and head a few blocks down to the Faena Miami Beach. You will be welcomed with red design everywhere and a complimentary drink. If your room isn't ready, they will swiftly take your bags and you won't see them again until you are in your room. Grab lunch at Los Fuegos while you wait and then hit the pool.

Utilize the Faena house car to go to Paya for dinner. If it's Monday, the tasting menu is $50 per person. It's the perfect way to get a taste of the whole menu. The tamarind lamb chops are to die for!

When you get back to the hotel, stop by The Living Room for live music and a nightcap. Be warned, they have a strict dress code. Women have to wear heels—no flat sandals of any kind.

Venture out into the Faena District to Crema for coffee and a green smoothie before check-out. On your way to the airport, stop at the Wynwood institution Coyo Tacos and get a peek of the Wynwood Walls.
