Miami draws sun seekers year-round, but the coastal metropolis becomes a cultural roost when it plays host to major multi-day events like Art Basel, Formula 1, this weekend’s Miami Open, and a constellation of celebrity performances, giving partygoers, sports fans, and music lovers reason to flock to the Floridian city.The so-called Magic City regularly plays host to star-studded parties, sophisticated dining, and must-see sporting events that have cemented it as one of the most talked-about places not only in the U.S., but in the world. And this year, Pirelli—the exclusive tire sponsor for F1—ups the ante and extends its performance heritage to the tennis world, serving as an official partner of the Miami Open (the brand’s history with the court sport dates back to the 1930s, when it produced tennis balls).Not many destinations can strike the perfect balance of revelry and serenity quite like Miami. With that in mind, here’s a guide to where to stay, what to eat, and what to see, whether you plan to hit the nightlife with a bang or sink your toes into the sand.What to SeeThe Miami OpenCourtesy of Miami OpenYou may already know the US Open and Indian Wells, but the Miami Open is shaping up to be the next hot spot for American tennis tournaments. It makes sense; Florida—where there’s sunshine virtually every day—serves as home to many a tennis academy and camp. Combine that history with the vibrant energy of the city (and, of course, Pirelli’s sponsorship), and it’s the perfect place to sit back and watch some points. Between matches, take some time to explore Hard Rock Stadium and grab yourself a Love All Frosé, the sporting event’s signature drink, or the much-talked-about “Golden Glizzy” hot dog topped with an entire tin of caviar and 24-karat gold flakes.The Rubell MuseumCourtesy The Rubell MuseumThe Rubell Museum houses one of the largest private contemporary art collections in America, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Keith Haring. An Instagram-friendly highlight is undoubtedly Yayoi Kusama’s “Infinity Room” and the kaleidoscopic “Narcissus Garden.”E11EVENAdinayevMiami’s world-renowned, 24-hour ultra club is an immersive adventure known for its unforgettable entertainment, from trapeze artists and burlesque dancers to A-list performers by the biggest names in music. (Everyone from Demi Lovato to Cardi B has taken the stage.) Don’t forget to snag an E11EVEN snapback—the Miami version of a Yankees hat—before you leave.Madewell The Easy ShirtAgoldeDame Denim ShortsCoachSoft SneakerWhere to EatContessaCourtesy Major Food GroupInspired by the old-world sophistication of Northern Italy’s iconic estates, Contessa is the dining destination by Major Food Group that transports guests from the Miami Design District to Lake Como. The plushy, jewel-toned interior gives it a glitzy “grand trattoria” style of elevated dining, with dishes like squash carpaccio and spicy lobster capellini that will definitely have you coming back for more. Nearby, you’ll find fashion brands dominating the area, like Fendi’s Casa, Loro Piana, and Prada.GekkōMichael StavaridisThis eatery from hospitality mogul David Grutman is a Japanese-inspired steakhouse opened in partnership with none other than Bad Bunny. Located in Miami’s bustling Brickell neighborhood, Gekkō serves up premium steak cuts and jaw-dropping sushi inventions ensconced in a dark and sultry atmosphere—a nod to its name, which translates to “moonlight” in Japanese.GiselleCraig DenisStart your club night at Giselle Miami—a rooftop restaurant located three floors above E11EVEN, to further expand on its hospitality offering. The space boasts a menu that combines Asian, Mediterranean, and French-inspired fare and a swanky dining room with panoramic views of downtown.

Psst, its sister house, Soho Pool House, is also a good time.The Living RoomCourtesy Faena Miami BeachDesigned in part by Hollywood luminary Baz Luhrmann, Faena Miami Beach is pure decadence, from the Argentine murals that flank the lobby to the candy-striped lido deck and Art Deco-inspired suites. The Living Room bar in particular is the see-and-be-seen locale for late-night drinks, with live bands on rotation throughout the week. And before you head out, make sure to venture through the back for a quick photo next to the colossal 24-karat gold Damien Hirst mammoth, because if you don’t, were you ever really in Miami?Dante’s HiFiCourtesy Dante’s HiFiDante’s HiFi is a tucked-away soulful haunt in Wynwood playing tunes exclusively on vinyl. The vintage-inspired décor and library of records make you feel like you’re hanging out in someone’s living room (offering a totally different vibe from your typical Miami going-out spots), but it’s a must-visit for craft cocktails and disco energy.
