Pert bums, toned pecs – just two reasons you might like Miami (and we ain't complaining). If buff bodies aren't your thing, you may prefer the epic food scene. Fancy both? Head to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival for flavour-infused frolics.
FOOD NETWORK SOUTH BEACH WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL, 19-22 FEBRUARY
A festival of epic proportions (and portions) on sunny South Beach, this celeb-endorsed event offers something for every type of foodie. There's a burger bash for meat aficionados, vegan brunches for those less convinced, yappy hours (because dogs need to eat and drink well too) and a Death by Chocolate party (it's a good way to go, right?). Away from the organised festival fun the city boasts a vibrant Latino food scene – check out Little Havana for some Cuban classics. sobefest.com
SOUTH BEACH BOXING, 715 WASHINGTON AVENUE
To fully embrace the Miami spirit you should consider some exercise. We're not talking jogs along the beach, that's far too tame. Head to South Beach Boxing instead, where you can jab, hook and cross with the city's hottest gym fanatics. Regulars include professional American Footballers and local Victoria Secret models (yeah – when we said hot we didn't mean hot and sweaty – although there's plenty of that too). southfloridaboxing.com
RADIO BAR, 814 1ST STREET, MIAMI BEACH
You'll find us in this club, bottle full of bub, listening to 50 Cent. Why? Well there's a refreshingly chilled vibe at this speakeasy-style bar, where bearded bartenders and strong cocktails come with a hip-hop soundtrack. There's a pool table and board games, and as the night progresses, the dance floor beckons. radiosouthbeach.com
