FLOW STATE: A MORNING OF MINDFULNESS AND MAKING

Hosted by Andaz Miami Beach

Sound healing and clay sculpting come together at Andaz Miami Beach. Start with a restorative meditation by Kanekshun, then unwind with a relaxed, hands-on ceramics session led by Ocisly.

 

Inspired by wabi-sabi, this creative reset welcomes all skill levels – set against the backdrop of a restored 1930s oceanfront clubhouse.

UNDER THE SEA: ART MEETS OCEAN CONSERVATION

Hosted by The Ritz-Carlton South Beach

The Ritz-Carlton South Beach teams up with REEFLINE – the underwater sculpture park changing the city’s relationship with the ocean.

 

Snorkel or dive Concrete Coral by Leandro Erlich – 22 submerged cars transforming into a living reef – then head back to shore for Zaytina.

OFF THE WALL: THE STORY OF AMERICAN GRAFFITI 

Hosted by East Miami

Step into the world’s only museum dedicated entirely to graffiti, where a once-underground movement takes its place as art and culture.

 

Graffiti has shaped American visual culture for decades – and the Museum of Graffiti lets you experience it through immersive exhibitions and bold murals. Then head to Sugar at EAST Miami for sunset cocktails.

DECODE YOURSELF: A PERSONAL READING

Hosted by Design Hotels

Get inside your own head with a personalised Human Design Reading from Design Hotels. Intrigued? You should be.

 

Blending astrology, I Ching and Kabbalah with modern science, this session offers a fresh take on self-discovery. Led by an expert, it’s grounding, illuminating and distinctly Miami.

START SLOW: THEN TAKE FLITE

Hosted by The Standard Spa, Miami Beach

Miami balance, perfected: deep calm first, then full send. Begin at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach for a bayside hammam reset, then take to the water with fliteboarding’s silent electric glide.

 

Sink into a bayside hammam at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach, then glide above the water with fliteboarding’s silent electric thrill. Refuel at Lido Bayside Grill. Spa. Flight. Feast. Miami, done right.

CONTEMPORARY ART TOUR: A MIAMI MUST

Hosted by W South Beach

To truly understand Miami, you need to experience its contemporary art scene – vibrant, provocative and woven into the city’s identity like a pulse. 

 

Start at W South Beach’s on-site collection, where museum-calibre art is woven into the hotel’s spaces. Then tour The Bass and Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), two powerhouses shaping the city’s cultural scene.

LITTLE RIVER: THE HOME OF COOL

Hosted by The Shelborne By Proper

Little River is Miami’s laidback, creative enclave – just north of the Design District. Spend the afternoon exploring design-forward studios and buzzy local favourites, with lunch at cult spot Ironside Pizza.

 

Then join artist Gabrielle Noelle to create a bespoke bag charm – part keepsake, part Little River calling card – before returning to the newly reopened The Shelborne By Proper for a martini.

ZERO WASTE: 1 HOTEL PAVING THE WAY

Hosted by 1 Hotel South Beach

Compost has entered the chat: 1 Hotel South Beach is now Miami’s leading composting hotel and the city’s largest single-site producer.

 

Discover sustainability in action with a visit to Compost for Life Farm, where the hotel’s food waste is transformed back into nourishing soil, before returning to 1 Hotel South Beach for lunch.

TOKYO SHIFT: A CELEBRATION OF JAPANESE LIVING CULTURE

Hosted by Nobu Hotel Miami Beach

MIAMI’S CUBAN HEART: A FLAVOUR OF LITTLE HAVANA

Hosted by GMCVB

Discover Cuban culture on a sustainable walking tour of Calle Ocho, from salsa to Cuban coffee, while supporting local businesses.

IN YOUR ART DECO ERA: BTS TOUR OF VILLA VERSACE

Hosted by The Setai Miami Beach

A strong contender for Miami’s most opulent address – in a city just filled with them – is Casa Casuarina, the former home of Gianni Versace.
