Disconnecting from work is a challenge. It makes hitting the “Book Now” button on a long-haul trip that much more difficult. Enter Miami Beach, located just a short flight away from many US cities. A quick weekend getaway for the busy city dweller is enough to enjoy a memorable experience on our vibrant barrier island — a world all its own, separated from the mainland of Florida by the shimmering Biscayne Bay. So find a friend, pack a swimsuit, and prepare for an elevated Miami Beach weekend getaway.

To shop the local style: Egan Miami Beach

To get an Instagram-worthy snap: The Sculpture Garden at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)

From Edgar Negret’s colorful “Fiesta Andina” to Konstantin Grcic’s interactive “Netscape,” the eclectic works that fill the open-air sculpture garden at Miami’s Pérez Art Museum are perfect for capturing content that’s worthy of your Instagram feed.

To dine above it all: Juvia

Brooklyn meets Miami at Juvia, an ultramodern restaurant located on top of a designer parking garage. A convergence of French, Japanese, and Peruvian dishes are served alongside views of Miami Beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

To drink with the locals: Bungalow by the Sea
