Miami, FL
Its reputation for warm tropical weather, luxe beachfront properties, and the atmosphere of sceney South Beach make Miami the winter getaway of choice for thousands each year. A Miami trip can offer the country’s best snorkeling and scuba diving, with colorful views of marine life and coral reefs, as well as lush tropical vegetation in neighborhoods like Coconut Grove, as well as the prominent Latin American influence on the city’s culture and cuisine. By moonlight, all the magic of the city unfolds, in its salsa-filled dance halls, swanky candlelit lounges, and rooftop bars with sweeping views over Biscayne Bay and the glittering city skyline.
Milk & Honey Tip
If you're looking for an active way to enjoy Miami's gorgeous weather, head to South Beach Kayak and give stand-up paddle boarding a try. This family-owned business will get you oriented so that you can set off on a self-guided exploration along the tranquil waters of Biscayne Bay. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins, manatees and egrets as you paddle along.
Eat
Start your morning in Little Havana at the legendary Versailles Cuban restaurant where you can either grab a table inside for a proper breakfast or order from the ventanita (hole in the wall) and sample sweet, strong Cuban coffee with pastelitos, such as guava and cream cheese pastries, croquetas and empanadas. KYU is dedicated to pan-Asian, wood-fired cuisine with both small and large dishes perfect for sharing. A few of my favourites include cauliflower drenched in shishito-herb vinaigrette and goat's cheese, Thai fried rice stone pot and Korean fried chicken. Head to Sunset Harbour, a trendy South Beach enclave overlooking Biscayne Bay that locals flock to. Grab dinner at Pubbelly Sushi where you’ll delight in creative, deconstructed sushi by beloved local chef José Mendin, with a backdrop of playful anime-like characters drawn on the walls. Afterwards, head down the street for drinks at Bay Club. You'll find a local crowd mingling over craft cocktails and glasses of Italian wine.
