Miami...Is it your Vice?

Miami today is a city full of emotion, colour and texture. It is hot, sexy and affects all the senses, a strong reflection of its growing Latin culture.

Miami Heat:

Miami is perfectly perched between mangrove swamp and a barrier reef yet is one of America’s most avant-garde cities boasting an exciting and exotic cosmopolitan atmosphere.

Much of Miami's appeal is due to its diverse neighbourhoods, which range from the big-city, towering skyscrapers of downtown Miami (the commercial heart of the city) to Little Havana, home to the Cuban community, or to the trendy Miami Beach neighbourhood of South Beach. South Beach is probably most recognisably ‘Miami,' with its candy-coloured art deco buildings set against a pure South Florida backdrop of cloudless skies, dazzling blue ocean, pale sandy beaches and swaying palm trees.

Miami's subtropical climate ensures warm weather year-round, with plenty of sunshine - and the lifestyle and vibe here emphasise not work but plenty of play. The city's real genius, however, is that in recent years, it has successfully absorbed the different cultures of its multi-ethnic population and been influenced by them all - and now Miami is considered a model community for the 21st century and a compelling example of America's changing face.

Miami is a spenders’ paradise- In Miami, you will also find the best ways to spend your money in the numerous stores on Lincoln Road South Beach, at the very exclusive Bal Harbour Shops, or at popular Aventura Mall.
