The South Beach guide for a luxury stay
The beach, the Art Deco streets, the dining and the nightlife, and how to enjoy South Beach from a private residence at its heart.
What makes South Beach special
South Beach is the southern tip of Miami Beach, a walkable barrier island of pastel Art Deco hotels, wide white-sand beaches and a famous food and nightlife scene. It packs the ocean, Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue into a few sunlit blocks, which is why it remains the most desirable place to stay in Miami.
The beach and the water
The Atlantic beach runs the length of South Beach, wide, clean and lined with lifeguard stands and a breezy boardwalk. Mornings are calm and good for a swim or a walk; afternoons fill with sun-seekers. From a residence at 1 Hotel & Homes you have deeded access to a private stretch of sand, a floor below the rooftop pool.
What to see and do
Wander the Art Deco Historic District along Ocean Drive, shop and dine on pedestrian Lincoln Road, and explore the galleries and design stores nearby. The city’s best restaurants, rooftops and beach clubs are a short walk or drive away. See the related guides below for the highlights.
Getting around
South Beach is made for walking, and most of the best of it is within a few blocks. For the Design District, Wynwood, Brickell or the airport, a car or a quick ride share is easiest, and your dedicated contact can arrange transfers. A residence on South Beach means you can leave the car behind for most of your stay.
