The Bespoke Miami Long Weekend

Beach-club days, a night of the city's best tables, a yacht on the bay — the quintessential Miami weekend, every detail handled. From around US$10,000.

A single country that holds the ocean glamour of Miami, the canyon light of California, the cultural heights of New York and the vast wilderness of the West.

When to go

November through April is finest, when Florida and the Southwest bask in warm, dry days while the Northeast turns crisp and luminous. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.

The experiences

A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:

• A cabana held for you at a private beach club, with the water and the service arranged before you arrive.
• A crewed yacht on Biscayne Bay for an afternoon on the water and lunch at anchor off the islands.
• Dinner secured at the hardest tables in South Beach and the Design District, on the nights you want them.
• A private after-hours walk of the Wynwood galleries and murals with the collectors who know them best.

A sense of the rhythm

The rhythm is unhurried and warm: slow mornings by the water, the bay in the golden hours, the city coming alive after dark. Three or four nights is enough to feel the pulse without the rush. You set the pace, and everything else falls into place around it.

South Beach or the bay?

Some travelers want the beach clubs and the tables of South Beach within walking distance of the sand. Others prefer to base themselves toward the bay and the islands, closer to the water and the yacht. We build the weekend around whichever version of Miami you came for.

How to do it well

The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:

• Book the beach club cabana and the yacht well in advance; the best of both go quickly in high season.
• Reserve your hardest tables the moment your dates are firm, and keep one night open for a discovery we suggest.
• Time the bay for late afternoon, when the light softens and the islands empty of day traffic.
• Let us stage private transfers throughout; Miami rewards those who never wait for a car.

What only your advisor can open

The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.

Who it's for

Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.

Estimated investment

From US$11,500 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.

Designed entirely around you

Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
