A couple on a Miami Beach at golden-hour sunset

For two

A Miami honeymoon, paced for the two of you.

Begin in the gilded glamour of Mid-Beach, end on the quiet sands of Surfside, and let someone else carry every reservation in between.

Design This Trip

A Miami honeymoon works best as two acts. Open in the theatrical Faena District at the Faena Hotel, where the gilded interiors and the cabaret-led Living Room set the tone, then move to the serene Four Seasons at The Surf Club in Surfside for a quieter, oceanfront close.

The moments worth planning around

Build the trip around a sunset cruise on Biscayne Bay, a hard-to-book table at Carbone or Le Sirenuse, and a couples' treatment at the Tierra Santa Healing House. Cap the slow evenings with a champagne bar and a walk through the Art Deco glow of Ocean Drive.

We hold the hard reservations, sequence the two stays so the city's two moods both land, and keep the days soft enough that the only decision left is where to watch the sun drop behind the skyline.

What’s inside

  • Oceanfront suites at the Four Seasons at The Surf Club
