Soft sand, green sea and tropical climes await a nine-hour non-stop flight from London.
It's the perfect tonic for winter-weary Brits.
But it doesn't come cheap, especially if you stay on South Beach - which is sort of the whole point.
We were guests at Grand Beach Hotel, a 45-minute plus walk from the main action of Ocean Drive.
On the plus side the beach here is a lot quieter and you pay less than hotels on South Beach.
Anyway, these are my favourite places where I ate and drank...
Best places for breakfast and brunch in Miami
If you go one place for brunch in Miami, make sure it's The Standard. This super-cool spot has stunning views out over the bay and my kind of menu.
Think avocado on toast and granola fruit bowls, matched with a glass of rose - perfection.
Best place for lunch in Miami
This gem is on Ocean Drive - perfect spot for people watching - and it's not a tourist trap.
Best places for dinner in Miami
This is the Italian restaurant in the courtyard of the Soho Beach House restaurant and an excellent recommendation by a friend.
You get pretty much everything you would want from a holiday meal out - the vibe is relaxed but chic - and the food is divine.
The trees are adorned with fairy lights to add a romantic air.
Pricey but the delicious food, and relaxed outdoor dining.
Best cocktails in Miami
Head to the Living Room at the W Hotel for the superb cocktails, coupled with tasty light bites.
Overlooking the harbour, Monty's Sunset bar is a typical Florida beach and a fab place to watch the last light of the day disappear, while sipping on a margerita.
