Advisory · Lifestyle & Events

A city that doesn't
host events — it
becomes them.

Choosing to live in Miami in 2026 means access to a year that runs from Art Basel and Formula 1 to the FIFA World Cup — and the privacy to step out of that energy whenever you choose. This is what the year holds.

The Year in Miami

Your calendar as a resident.

Seven flagship events define Miami's global rhythm. For residents and second-home owners, that rhythm is part of the value — experienced on your own terms, at the dose you choose.

Year-round access

World Cup. F1.
Art Basel.

The global calendar is within reach of home — and so is the quiet of a private island when you'd rather step away.

Art

Water & Boating

Life is organised around the water.

At the top of the market, direct water access isn't a view — it's infrastructure. Dockage, marinas, and private islands shape both daily mobility and long-term value.

Private marinas at the door

New developments treat dockage as core infrastructure. The Ritz-Carlton Residences in North Bay Village are built around a 42-slip private marina — step from the elevator to the boat.

Fisher Island

Reachable only by ferry, helicopter, or yacht. A deep-water marina handles ocean-going vessels while strict guest verification keeps the island private during peak weeks.

Indian Creek

The "Billionaire Bunker" — 41 home sites on a 300-acre island guarded by its own police force. Here, yacht access is a high-security corridor home, not a display.

Star Island

Set between the mainland and Miami Beach, with ocean-access docks where the yacht is an extension of the estate — the city's energy minutes away when you want it.

Clubs & Dining

Where the city's social capital gathers.

Private members' clubs are Miami's most reliable networks — filtered rooms of people with shared taste and capacity. For a family settling in, they're the fastest, most discreet way into the city.

Casa Tua

Miami Beach

The intimacy of an Italian-Riviera home — boutique hotel, private library, and dining rooms — with global access to Aspen and New York.

Culture, art, and wellness in one network: curated talks, beach-club access, and Tierra Santa Healing House spa privileges.

Signature Dining

Zuma & Klaw

Riverside contemporary Japanese and a refined steak-and-crab destination downtown — anchors of Miami's evening power scene.

Wellness & Health

Health as the first asset.

In 2026, wellness and longevity are treated as a core asset class. Miami pairs medical expertise with hospitality — time and privacy, the most valuable luxuries of all.

Concierge medicine

Members-only practices like Sollis Health offer 24/7 emergency physicians, in-house imaging and labs, and zero wait times — a medical shield for globally mobile families.

Social wellness clubs

Remedy Place reframes socialising around cold plunges, cryotherapy, IV therapy, and recovery — performance and connection in place of the traditional bar.

Healing & longevity

Faena's Tierra Santa Healing House and Carillon Miami blend South American traditions with advanced technology for a data-driven approach to longevity.

Family & Schools

Built for full-time families.

For families relocating permanently, proximity to elite schools is one of the first variables — and a steady anchor for property values in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and the islands.

A bayfront campus and Miami's most prestigious school — sailing, rowing, and Model UN alongside Ivy-track academics (~$48k tuition).

Connectivity & Access

Distance measured in minutes.

Regional rail, the world's busiest cruise port, and private aviation combine into one frictionless mobility platform — from the ocean to the sky without a pause.

Brightline

High-speed rail links Downtown Miami to Orlando in ~3.5 hrs, with stops in Aventura, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach — and Premium lounges that turn the journey into work time.

PortMiami

The world's cruise capital sits minutes from MiamiCentral — gateway to the Caribbean and to mega-yacht berthing.

PS MIA & Private Aviation

A first-of-its-kind private terminal at Miami International, plus Opa-locka's 24/7 FBO network (Embassair, Signature, Fontainebleau) for jet-side arrivals.
