Pool lounging, Miami style

Venetian Pool
Attractions

Possibly the most beautiful swimming pool in the world, the Venetian combines an idyllic setting with the sweetest freshwater from an underground aquifer.

Mediterranean flavours al fresco

Brosia
Restaurants

The latest Design District hotspot, Brosia is casual and chic. Outside, the terrace tables are shaded by majestic oak trees.

A hip subterranean speakeasy

Florida Room
Bars & pubs

Old-school Florida style meets swanky cruise-ship decor in this dimly lit den of chandeliers. Pretty damned cool – as you'd expect from Lenny Kravitz's design firm.

Major attractions

Art Deco District

Attractions

A guided deco walking tour takes in the best sleek, streamlined, iridescent architecture that Miami Beach has to offer. Recommended.

Vizcaya Museum

Museums

Incongruous, unlikely and bizarre, Vizcaya is also an utterly delightful Italian Renaissance-style villa with gorgeous gardens.

Versace Mansion

Attractions

Since Versace’s murder, even with the bloodstains long gone, the front steps of his former residence have become the most photographed spot in town.
