Overview
Miami is South Florida crown jewel, a vibrant multicultural city where Latin American energy infuses everything from the food to the music to the nightlife. The best time to visit is November through April, when temperatures hover in the pleasant mid-70s to low 80s and humidity is manageable. This dry season window delivers perfect beach weather without the oppressive heat and afternoon thunderstorms of summer, though it is also peak tourist season.
South Beach iconic Art Deco architecture and turquoise waters remain the main draw, but Miami has evolved far beyond its beach-party reputation. Wynwood Walls has transformed a warehouse district into an open-air street art museum, while the Design District houses luxury boutiques and cutting-edge galleries. Little Havana pulses with the aroma of Cuban coffee and the sound of salsa music, and the Brickell financial district has emerged as a dining destination with rooftop bars overlooking Biscayne Bay. Day trips to the Everglades and Key Biscayne add natural beauty to the mix.
For points travelers, Miami is a goldmine with hotels across every major program. From the iconic Faena Miami Beach to the Four Seasons Surf Club, the 1 Hotel South Beach to the East Miami in Brickell, the city offers award stays across every style and neighborhood. South Beach, Mid-Beach, and Brickell each have strong hotel clusters for points bookings.
