Miami and the Florida coast — private beach clubs, the bay by yacht and the design and dining that made the city. A private, tailored journey of 5-7 days in United States, designed end to end by a Forest Travel advisor — with Virtuoso privileges at the finest luxury hotels, from US$10,000 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
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.
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$10,000 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.

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.

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.
Late afternoon. Our advisors recommend booking the yacht so you sail into the sunset rather than the midday heat. On this journey, Biscayne Bay is explored by private yacht at golden hour, anchoring wherever the light is best, so the evening on the water flows naturally into the long dinners and warm nightlife that close a day in the city.
Plan ahead, or let your advisor do it for you. The best beach clubs release cabanas early, so Forest Travel secures yours before you arrive. The day is reserved privately, with cabana, service and the shoreline arranged around you, fitting the rhythm of the trip, where mornings belong to the water and the sand and nothing needs to be rushed.
Go privately and at quiet hours. This journey includes an after-hours walk through the Design District and Wynwood with a curator who knows the collectors. For other gallery visits, our advisors suggest weekday mornings, when the districts are calm and access is easiest. Late afternoons are also set aside for the galleries and boutiques, before evenings of long dinners at the hardest tables in the city.
We suggest 5-7 days, enough to enjoy Miami and the Florida coast without rushing. The city rewards a slow, sensual pace: mornings belong to the water and the sand, late afternoons to the galleries and boutiques, and evenings unfold over long dinners and the warm nightlife. Those days can hold a day at a private beach club, Biscayne Bay by private yacht at golden hour, an after-hours walk through the Design District and Wynwood, and the hardest tables in the city. Keep one evening open for the spontaneous invitation, since the finest tables often appear at the last moment.
As a private, tailored journey it starts from roughly US$10,000 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.
