Miami Beach never disappoints — it’s the ultimate mix of laid-back luxury, iconic architecture, and a food scene that keeps getting better. On my latest visit, I stayed at a beautiful boutique hotel, explored some of the best shopping neighborhoods, and wrapped up the day with an unforgettable dinner. Here’s how I spent the perfect day in Miami Beach.
🛏️ Where I Stayed: The Greystone Hotel
I checked into the Greystone Hotel, an adults-only boutique stay that feels effortlessly cool. The design is modern with a vintage twist — think art deco meets rooftop cocktails. My room was cozy and chic, and the hotel’s location just a block from the beach made it easy to explore South Beach on foot. It’s perfect for a stylish, low-key getaway.
🥗 Lunch at Maman in Sunset Harbour
For lunch, I headed to Maman in Sunset Harbour — a dreamy spot originally from NYC that brings French café charm to Miami. With its white-and-blue interiors and sunny vibe, it’s a relaxing break from the beach buzz. I had one of their fresh, seasonal salads and a lavender latte that tasted just as beautiful as it looked.
🛍️ Shopping in Sunset Harbour & Lincoln Road
After lunch, I wandered through Sunset Harbour, where the boutiques are curated and local. I found some great swimwear, activewear, and a few unique accessories.
Then I made my way to Lincoln Road, Miami Beach’s famous pedestrian shopping district. From trendy international brands to charming sidewalk cafés, it’s a great spot to stroll, sip, and shop.
🍽️ Dinner at Jaya at The Setai
Dinner was the highlight of the day at Jaya, tucked inside the iconic Setai Hotel. The courtyard is magical — surrounded by palm trees, glowing fire features, and live music that makes the whole experience feel cinematic.
The pan-Asian menu is full of flavor; I ordered the truffle dumplings and Peking duck — both absolutely incredible. If you’re celebrating something (or just want to treat yourself), Jaya is the move.
💭 Final Thoughts
Miami Beach is a place that balances beauty and energy so well — whether you’re lounging by the rooftop pool at the Greystone, indulging in world-class cuisine at Jaya, or exploring the boutiques in Sunset Harbour.
If you’re looking for a day filled with stylish moments, fresh flavors, and total Miami vibes, this itinerary has you covered.
