Miami is a city that must be visited at least once. With its bustling entertainment scene, stunning golden beaches, and world-class cuisine, it’s an all-round perfect destination for families and couples alike.
However, knowing where to stay and play is key to a memorable holiday. So, we’ve picked some of the trending locations for 2022, including a selection of the best areas for booking your Miami villa rental.

The epicentre of Miami and a cultural attraction in its own right, Miami Beach is a melting pot of cultures, pulling in a cosmopolitan crowd. It’s also the home to South Beach for when you need time out.
Naturally, Miami Beach rentals are the only way to go, especially in a city that prides itself so highly in the design and style stakes. Luxurious properties like Villa Semira and Villa Ola provide an oasis of calm just steps away from the bright city lights.
It’s also a great location for social butterflies that enjoy luxe dining. This year Miami Beach takes centre stage when Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat restaurant opens in fall. The Asian-inspired menu will be housed in a 9,000 sq ft space with a vibey late-night lounge. Another newcomer to the scene is MILA– a deluxe rooftop lounge and mixology bar bringing Mediterranean-Japanese fusion flavours to South Beach.
And finally, as if you needed any more convincing that Miami Beach is the place to be - for the very first time the Formula 1 Grand Prix is coming to the city (May 6-8), promising an explosive display of fast-car action. Be sure to book your luxury Miami villa in advance, as there will be quite a frenzy in town.

With its standout buildings, budding art scene and chic coffee shops, the Art Deco district has long been a favourite with visitors. Laid back by day, buzzing by night, this famous neighborhood tells the story of Miami’s history in architecture. This is a great place to base yourself, with a number of luxurious Miami villas in the area, such as Villa Grandioso. Be sure to brush up on your local knowledge with a trip to the Art Deco Museum.

The trendiest part of town, Downtown and Brickell brings skyscraper vibes with a slice of the good life, filled with busy bars and rooftop restaurants. This year Sexy Fish will be joining its bustling food scene, with a Japanese-influenced to get excited about.
That’s not all, there’s plenty to see at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, including a planetarium and aquarium that the kids will marvel at.
With wellbeing high on the agenda, there’s also lots of parks and places for long walks and riverside views, usually within stumbling distance of your villa rental. This is a great place to stay for those who like mingling with the locals and getting under the skin of the city. Well located, Villa Angela is a great choice to base yourself.

Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, the Bay is a popular place to stay and hangout in 2022. Here you’ll find plenty of attractions, including its huge marina that you can easily lose a day walking around.
If you’re into your dance music, then time your visit for the end of March (25-27) when the Ultra Music Festival comes to town. There’s a stellar line up of international talent taking to the stage – the perfect time to jump right in. Didn’t we say Miami was the place to be in 2022!
