Cheap Miami Holidays and Deals

There are reasons why Miami's nightlife is famous the world over, and you only have to spend a few hours drinking cocktails on Ocean Drive to see why. This Art Deco strip is where the Miami magic happens once the sun goes down and whether you fancy pre-dinner drinks or dancing until dawn, this stunning beachfront street. South Beach's number one party hotel, Clevelander, is the hottest spot in the area with a total of nine bars serving 17 beer options, 15 frozen drink machines and over 30 different wines. Settle on the lively C-Level Rooftop Terrace, SPF4 Sun Deck or Pool & Patio and you're guaranteed an energetic evening. Club O1, Mango's Tropical Café and Nikki Beach Club are also popular on the party circuit.

The island of Cuba may lie just across the water but Little Havana is the next best thing. If you feel like a slice of Cuban culture head to the colourful neighbourhood of Calle Ocho, just west of downtown Miami. Soak up the authentic atmosphere as you stroll past fragrant cigar stores and a string of salsa bars, before enjoying a taste of the traditional cuisine in the local cafés and restaurants. Live like the locals and start your day at Versailles Cuban Bakery for a hearty breakfast, before trying out the delicious dinner El Pub in the evening, and of course, the Azur Ice Cream Company for a sweet treat.

Once dubbed the ‘Fifth Avenue of the South’, Lincoln Road Mall is a mecca for shopaholics visiting the city. Just a few blocks from Ocean Drive, the mile-long, pedestrian-only promenade is brimming with excellent shopping, dining and entertainment. Here you'll find boutiques, high-street brands including Zara, H&M and Forever 21, and some of the best cafés, bars and restaurants around. Once you've pottered along the parade of shops, try out the tasty chicken tacos at Huahua's or munch on Balan's Mediterranean menu. Before you leave, enjoy a cocktail or two at Juvia, a pretty penthouse bar on the corner of Lincoln Road.

South Beach is the most iconic neighbourhood in Miami. From the swooping facades of the city’s signature art-deco designs to its neon bars and vibrant party scene, South Beach oozes fun and epitomises colourful Miami ocean-side living. During the day, head to South Beach to enjoy the turquoise waters and the soft white beaches and explore more on a DecoBike – Miami’s answer to Boris bikes where you can hire and pay as you go.

Miami is heaven for watersports enthusiasts – you can paddleboard, waterski, Jet-Ski, scuba, snorkel windsurf, kitesurf and much more on its city and neighbouring beaches. For snorkellers, the exceptional Florida Keys are an easy drive south – and the road linking the keys is said to be one of the most scenic in the world. Biscayne Bay is where you'll find lots of the action with parasailing, hobie cats, boat rentals and dolphins and mantra ray spotting excursions. Due to a series of shallow flats on its east side, the bay is protected from rough ocean seas making sailing safe and enjoyable for all levels of experience. Further down the coast, Coconut Grove is popular with kayakers and paddleboarders or if you're feeling more adventurous join a moonlight canoe tour along the Coral Gables waterway.

From towering burgers and succulent steaks to fritas, gator bites and pastelitos, Miami is a mouthwatering melting pot when it comes to dining options. Inspired by the city's Caribbean, Cuban and Mexican neighbourhoods, tasty bites you need to try include The Yoyo at Maracuya, Chicharrón at El Palacio de los Jugos, Fruity Pebbles Donut at Mojo Donuts, Pastelito Burger at Pincho Factory and Fried Fish at Chef Creole.
