Where to stay in Miami
Brickell
High-rise financial district south of Downtown with luxury apartments, rooftop bars and a dense cluster of offices. Very walkable for daily life if you live there, with easy access to coworking spaces, restaurants and the Metromover.
Wynwood & Midtown
Street-art-filled warehouse district turned arts and nightlife hub, plus neighbouring Midtown residential towers. Known for murals, galleries, cafés and bars. Lively and creative but can be noisy on weekends.
Miami Beach (South Beach & Mid-Beach)
Barrier island neighbourhood famous for its beaches, pastel Art Deco hotels and party scene. Great if you want to wake up near the ocean, but more touristy and expensive, with less everyday convenience than Brickell or Downtown.
Little Havana & MiMo / Upper Eastside
More local-feeling areas with classic low-rise housing, Cuban cafés and restaurants in Little Havana and mid-century motels turned trendy spots along Biscayne Boulevard in the MiMo district. Cheaper than Brickell and the Beach, but less walkable and more car-dependent.

Iconic stretch of sand and palm trees backed by pastel Art Deco hotels and neon-lit bars. Perfect for sunrise walks, people-watching and classic Miami Beach photos along Ocean Drive.

💬 What Nomads Say
Real reviews from digital nomads
"I used Miami as a winter base for three months in Brickell and it worked well overall. Internet at home was 300+ Mbps and coworking at a space in Brickell was excellent. The downside is the cost – I was paying over $3,000 for a one-bedroom, plus expensive eating out. If you earn good USD and want warmth, beaches and nightlife without leaving the US, it is hard to beat."
"Miami is fun but not cheap. I stayed in Little Havana and used coworking in Wynwood and Midtown. Costs were still high compared to Mexico or Colombia, but the mix of Latin culture and US infrastructure was great. I would not choose it as a long-term nomad base, but for one or two months in winter it is perfect."
"I spent six weeks in Miami Beach and then Brickell. South Beach was too touristy and party-heavy for everyday work, but Brickell felt like a compact, walkable urban bubble with gyms, cafés and coworking all nearby. Expect to rely on Uber if you explore beyond your neighbourhood and definitely budget more than you would for similar comfort in Europe or Latin America."
