A warm-weather escape from Toronto
Around three and a half hours from Pearson to South Beach, with no time change, a private three-bedroom residence for the winter sun Canadians book every year.
Why Torontonians winter in Miami
For Toronto, Miami is a tradition. When the winter settles in, families and couples head south for sun on the same time zone, around three and a half hours, and no jet lag to lose a day to.
The long weekends around Family Day and the week of March Break are the classic escapes, but the appeal runs all winter: warm water, a walkable beach, and a city with the dining, shopping and nightlife to fill the evenings. South Beach keeps it all close.
The journey
Toronto Pearson serves Miami with direct flights commonly available; schedules vary by season.
The flight runs around three and a half hours, and Miami shares Eastern time with Toronto, so there is no time change. Entry requirements for Canadian travellers can change, check official sources before you fly.
A long weekend, or a March Break week
A three-night long weekend resets the winter; a March Break week turns it into a family holiday.
- Beach days: the private sand and the resort pools, easy with children.
- City days: Lincoln Road, the Design District and Bal Harbour for shopping and lunch.
- Evenings: celebrated restaurants and, when you want it, the nightlife of South Beach a walk away.
Room for the whole family
A family from Toronto travels better in a residence than a cluster of hotel rooms. Three bedrooms sleep up to six, a full kitchen handles breakfast and children’s routines, and a living room gives everyone somewhere to be in the evening.
Winter through early spring is the season, with December holidays and March Break the busiest weeks, book ahead to secure your dates.
Miami Only One, your residence on South Beach
For a Toronto family chasing winter sun, Miami Only One is a private three-bedroom, three-bathroom ocean-view residence at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, on Collins Avenue, a full kitchen, a private balcony and deeded access to the resort’s beach, pools and spa. The comfort of a home with a five-star resort at the door, on the same time zone as home.
