1) Where to Stay in Miami: The Nobu Villas
The villas at the Nobu Miami Beach Hotel are reason enough to make a trip down to the sunshine state. Perfect for a bachelor/bachelorette party, a romantic getaway or a family vacation, these penthouse suites are located on the top floor of the Nobu Miami Beach Hotel. Representing the ultimate in luxury, at this hotel, within-a-hotel, the villas are the place to be for the luxury traveler looking for a little tropical R&R. They are offered in one- or two-bedroom varieties and come with large balconies with views of the ocean and city skyline. Wake up with a view of the fabulous Miami Beach and go to sleep in what has to be one of the most comfortable hotel beds in the country.
2) The Miami Food Scene
Miami has no shortage of dining options. There is everything from taco shacks to world class restaurants all within a stone’s throw from any of the major resorts. A few places worth checking out on your next trip down are Byblos, Malibu Farms, and Jaya. Byblos is a Mediterranean hotspot in the heart of South Beach perfect for a stylish night out. Malibu Farms is located right on the beach and even offers private pizza-making classes, so be sure to stop by here for lunch or plan a private class for the whole family. And finally, head to Jaya for lots of Asian fusion delicacies and on Friday night’s a fabulous aerial and fire dancer show.

Miami is the place for anyone looking to have a good time. And the great thing is there is tons of nightlife options available so for whatever type of night out you are looking for, you are sure to find it in Miami.
Start at Bodega South Beach for some craft cocktails in their hidden speakeasy and then head over to E11even for a late night out if your group is really looking to party. And trust me E11even isn’t joking when they say they are open 24 hours; the party really does never end.
