The hardest tables in the city, the Design District after hours and private gallery viewings — Miami's creative pulse, opened for you. A private, tailored journey of 3-5 days in Miami, United States, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$12,500 per traveler.
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
From November to April is the best window for Miami. 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:
- The hardest tables in the city held on your nights, from the tasting counters to the rooms with no listed name.
- A private after-hours walk of the Design District, its architecture and installations to yourself.
- Private viewings at the galleries and private collections, guided by the people who assembled them.
- A chef's table or kitchen visit arranged where the doors do not usually open.
A sense of the rhythm
This journey is built around the evenings, when the city's tables and the Design District come into their own. Days stay open and light, for a leisurely lunch or a gallery at your pace. The energy builds toward night, and we make sure every door is already open when you arrive.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Secure the tasting counters and the hardest rooms as early as possible; a few seat only a handful of guests a night.
- Ask us to arrange the gallery viewings on quieter weekdays, when the spaces are yours alone.
- Leave a full evening unplanned for the recommendation we make once we know your palate.
- Trust the sequencing; we pace the art and the tables so no night feels crowded.
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$12,500 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.
Your Virtuoso privileges
As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.

Questions, answered.
Some evenings you will want the meal to be the event, unhurried across many courses. Others, the art comes first and dinner follows. We sequence each night so that neither is rushed and both feel like the reason you came.
As early as possible. A few of Miami's tasting counters and hardest rooms seat only a handful of guests a night, so securing them first is the advice our advisors give. On this journey those tables are held on your nights, from the tasting counters to the rooms with no listed name, and a chef's table or kitchen visit can be arranged where the doors do not usually open.
Yes. The journey includes a private after-hours walk of the Design District, with its architecture and installations to yourself. It suits the journey's rhythm, which is built around the evenings, when the Design District and the city's tables come into their own. Days stay open and light, the energy builds toward night, and every door is already open when you arrive.
Ask for private viewings on quieter weekdays, when the spaces are yours alone. These viewings take in Miami's galleries and private collections, guided by the people who assembled them. Some evenings the art comes first and dinner follows; on others the meal is the event. Each night is sequenced so neither is rushed and both feel like the reason you came.
3-5 days. That gives you several evenings, which is where this journey lives: the hardest tables in the city held on your nights, a private after-hours walk of the Design District, and private gallery viewings. Days stay open and light, for a leisurely lunch or a gallery at your pace. Leave one full evening unplanned for the recommendation we make once we know your palate, and trust the sequencing: the art and the tables are paced so no night feels crowded.
As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly US$12,500 per traveler (double occupancy) and scales with your dates, party and level of privacy — a starting point, never a fixed package price. Your advisor confirms the figure once the itinerary is tailored.
