It’s such a joy to return to Miami. It took us a while to feel ready for a long intercontinental flight with Finn. Our little bundle of energy can’t sit still for a moment, so a 10-hour flight felt like quite the challenge.

But the journey went well. On our flights to Dubai, we had already noticed that 7-hour trips were becoming more manageable, so I guess we are ready to explore more of the world with him.

I often visited Miami for work as a model and later as a photographer. I’ve always found Miami to be such a fun, vibrant city—very photogenic and charming.

This trip was about warmth, relaxation, and recharging after a grey, dreary autumn in the Netherlands and a few intense, busy months at work. After spending a few blissful days lounging by our hotel pool and wandering around Miami Beach, we broadened our horizons by following tips from lovely AndBloom followers (thank you).

After nine years, South Beach feels both unchanged and yet slightly different. For instance, there used to be more shops along Collins Avenue, and Lincoln Road was the go-to spot for a diverse shopping experience. Many high-end stores have moved to the Design District, where we spent a morning exploring. It was mostly window shopping—those boutiques are definitely out of our budget—but strolling past such stunning stores was a treat. South Beach remains a fantastic place to stay in Miami, especially with the beach just a short walk from the hotel. As vacationers, a big part of the experience is soaking up the sun, enjoying the beach, and lounging by the pool—or at least, it certainly is for us!

We decided not to rent a car but to rely on Uber instead. You simply download the Uber app on your phone; no matter where you are, you can order a ride. In our case, the car was always there within 10 minutes. It’s super convenient and cheaper than a regular taxi!

Things We Did While Staying in South Beach:

South Beach truly is the ultimate destination for beach lovers, so we couldn’t resist heading to the beach. The vast stretch of soft, white sand and sparkling turquoise waters create a postcard-perfect setting, ideal for unwinding and recharging. Adding to its charm are the vibrant, photogenic lifeguard towers dotted along the shore—each a colorful work of art that adds a unique flair to the scenery. It’s the perfect place to soak up the sun, dip, and capture those picture-perfect Miami moments!
