Miami: The Easy Breezy Beach Lover’s Edit
Sometimes the best trips are the easiest ones, the ones where the biggest decision you have to make is margarita or mimosa (or, let’s be honest, both). If that’s the kind of trip you want right now, this Miami trip is literally perfect for you!!
For starters, it’s Miami, home of the quintessentially easy beach vacay (especially if you’re flying from the east coast). And you’ll also be staying right in South Beach at The Gale, a historic and charming hotel that’s just steps from those beautiful ocean blues (not to mention two blocks from Lincoln Road, South Beach’s famous shopping and dining promenade). Whether you stay for two, three, or four nights, get ready for some serious R & R, complete with delish food, epic infinity pool lounging (the views are v sweet), complimentary yoga and bike rentals, A+ water sports from the hotel’s partner Boucher Brothers (think waverunners, parasailing, paddle boards, and more), chill beach club days at the hotel’s partner Shelborne Hotel, and some nights out, too, if you’re in the mood. Have a fun (and sun-filled) trip!

Day 1. Welcome to Miami!
Welcome to Miami! Once you arrive at The Gale, enjoy your complimentary bottle of Prosecco and then spend the rest of the afternoon lounging at the rooftop pool or on the beach. As part of your stay, you get access to the beach club at the Shelborne Hotel, where you can use all of their amenities including two beach chairs and towels.
For dinner, head to Dolce, the hotel’s on-site Italian restaurant, for handmade pastas, specialty Neapolitan pizzas, and the cutest outdoor terrace and garden. (Pro tip: They have a great happy hour from 3 pm to 5:30 pm Sunday through Thursday.) After you eat, grab a nightcap at the hotel bar—there’s often live music there, too.
Check-in - Gale South Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton
When you think of an easy breezy beach trip to Miami, you probably think of South Beach. And lucky for you, The Gale by Hilton is *the* quintessential South Beach hotel. With bright white stone washed walls and twinkly-light palm trees everywhere, this historic and iconic hotel, built in the 1940s, truly defines the Miami vacay experience.
For starters, the location is perfect: just steps from the gorgeous beach, two blocks from Lincoln Road (South Beach’s famous shopping and dining district), and a short walk from Miami’s art deco historic district. Then the hotel itself is everything you want it to be, too. The rooms are very breezy coastal chic, with bright white everything and big windows that let the light work its magic. The on-site Italian restaurant, Dolce, is not only delish, it also offers loads of fun bottomless specials, from unlimited brunch cocktails to rosé all day. The swimming situation is on point, too, from the gorgeous rooftop infinity pool (it even receives direct sunlight from morning to night, so you’ll never have to be in the shade) to the beach. The hotel is partnered with the oceanfront Shelborne Hotel, so you can enjoy beach club access there and use all of their amenities, including two beach chairs and towels. You can also enjoy water sport rentals from their other partners, the Boucher Brothers (think wave runners, parasailing, paddle boarding, and more). And finally, if you want to get some movement in that does not involve water, the hotel has an incredible gym and also offers complimentary yoga classes and rental bikes. All in a Miami vacay!

Then spend the whole day as you wish – taking advantage of the hotel’s many activities, from water sports to complimentary yoga and bike rentals to the rooftop pool. After you’ve relaxed to your heart’s content, grab dinner and drinks at the hotel at your leisure (and if you can make it, don’t forget that there’s a happy hour at Dolce from 3 to 5:30).
Day 3. Miami
If you want to go all in on boozy brunch, check out the hotel’s “Livin La Dolce Vita” special at Dolce, where, for $25, you can have all of the mimosas/bellinis/rossinis/bloody mary’s you want for a two-hour window (the offer ends at 5 pm). Then, depending on your *soberness* levels, spend the afternoon as you wish, and then head over to Lincoln Road in the evening for your quintessential Miami night out.
Day 4. Depart Miami
Womp womp, it’s time to check out. Hit the beach or the pool for one last dip before packing your bags to head home. Until next time, Miami! (Because yes, there will definitely be a next time.)
