Get ready to be Insta-famous in 3, 2, 1…



Icon Brickell

Whether you have a friend living in the high-rise residence or you book a spa trip to the Viceroy Miami, you’re not “doing it right” if you don’t take a photo overlooking the bay. Between the sun-soaked infinity pool and crystalline waters, this Downtown Miami gem is a stunner.



Miami Design District


Conceptual art and luxury retail space converges into Dacra founder, Craig Robins, and L Real Estate’s wildest playground. Aside from housing Christian Louboutin, Dior Homme, Hermes, and countless luxury staples, the Miami Design District is brimming with artistic corners.



Aventura Mall


Warning: this is not your typical shopping trip. Floridians far and wide can’t resist a selfie or photo opportunity to with Aventura Mall’s Turnberry for the Arts collection, a display that features world-renowned artists from across the globe. Confession: a photo with Donald Baechler’s “Walking Figure” is oddly satisfying.



Pérez Art Museum Miami


People travel from around the country to experience the Pérez Art Museum Miami and it’s right in our backyard. From sweeping Biscayne Bay views to lush cascading vines, PAMM may be one of the most photogenic pieces of the 305. Toss on a cute floppy hat like Ashley Rose, DIY blogger behind Sugar & Cloth, and watch the likes roll in.



South Beach

The Miami Beach Edition


Miami is one big rainbow, but we’ll be damned if we say we don’t love serving some minimalist realness.



Wynwood Walls


We know you saw this coming, but what type of list would this be without Miami’s favorite murals?



Skylines, Please!


New York isn’t the only major city that gets to boast about their silhouette. Take it from Miami fashion bloggers Ginger Harris (Electric Blogarella) and Kelly Saks (Kelly’s Kloset), the Miami skyline is nothing short of magical.



Vizcaya Museum & Gardens


Regardless of whether you’ve been to 5,000 quinces in the gardens of Vizcaya, the place never loses its charm.
