Miami and the Florida coast — private beach clubs, the bay by yacht and the design and dining that made the city.
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 day reserved at a private beach club, with cabana, service and the shoreline arranged around you.
- Biscayne Bay by private yacht at golden hour, anchoring wherever the light is best.
- An after-hours walk through the Design District and Wynwood with a curator who knows the collectors.
- The hardest tables in the city, held for you across a week of the finest dining.
A sense of the rhythm
Miami rewards a slow, sensual pace. Mornings belong to the water and the sand; late afternoons to the galleries and boutiques; evenings unfold over long dinners and the city's warm nightlife. Nothing here needs to be rushed.
South Beach or the mainland?
South Beach puts you steps from the ocean and the Art Deco glamour, ideal if you want the sea at your door. The mainland's design and dining districts trade the beach for a quieter, more residential elegance. Many travellers choose to taste both across a single stay.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Book the yacht for late afternoon so you sail into the sunset rather than the midday heat.
- The best beach clubs release cabanas early; we secure yours before you arrive.
- Reserve gallery visits on weekday mornings, when the districts are calm and access is easiest.
- Keep one evening open for the spontaneous invitation; the finest tables often appear at the last moment.
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$9,000 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.
