Moxy Miami South Beach - Full-Time Travel

Moxy Miami South Beach

By Amber Snider
In a Nutshell:

Centered in Miami’s stylish South Beach neighborhood, the Moxy Hotel is playfully bold with a distinctively youthful energy. Located on Washington Avenue and surrounded by a bustling strip of shops and historical Art Deco buildings, the hotel’s lobby features Mid Century Modern-inspired chairs, Art Deco-inspired accents, and a soothing color palette of blush pinks and terracotta hues. But there’s an edgy rebellion present in the details, as with the sticker-laden ATM and a “Horoscopes” installation featuring a statue of Zoltar, aka the fortune teller made famous in the movie Big.

EDITOR'S TIP: Mezcalista, the hotel’s low-lit speakeasy, features one of the largest collections of mezcal in all of South Florida (200, to be precise). Guests can sip cocktails on custom-made couches set against a sultry backdrop, or try private or semi-private mezcal tastings in a separate back room.

 
The Style: Suave and self-consciously sassy

Como Como restaurant
The Unmissable Experience:

Como Como, the new, on-site marisqueria, serves up traditional Mexican cuisine from 10+ regions (including Acapulco and Yucatan), this worth-the-splurge restaurant led by Chef Scott Linquist is a culinary gem that engages all the senses. Standout dishes include the dressed oysters (with soy yuzu pasilla chile "agua" and serrano chile cilantro lime "agua" with avocado mousse and salmon roe), tender and ultra-creamy pulpo ceviche (simply decadent), and the Tikin-Xic (branzino prepared Mayan-style, wrapped in banana leaf, and cooked on an open fire before being marinated in achiote, sour orange, and habanero).

Known for its stunning sand dunes that create a landscape resembling white sheets (lençóis in Portuguese), Lençóis Maranhenses is a unique national park located in the state of Maranhão, Brazil.

The park`s most iconic feature is the series of turquoise lagoons formed by rainwater that collects between the dunes. These lagoons are a stark contrast to the surrounding white sands and provide a refreshing oasis for visitors.

A travel entrepreneur rows 3,000 miles in 36 days, completely unsupported.

In the latest episode of our podcast, The Trip That Changed Me, travel entrepreneur, Jimmy Carroll (@jimmyalexandercarroll), shares his experiences of participating in the world’s toughest rowing race: the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge.

For 36 days, Jimmy and his three teammates rowed in alternating two-hour stints for 24 hours a day, through storms, sleep deprivation, and an unexpected attack from a 12-foot blue marlin. It was an experience that pushed them to the limit of their resilience but one that was also full of profound beauty and awe.
