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.

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).

"This sculpture is called "Transmission" by artist Daniel Popper. Its a reminder that we are all rooted in love, unity and the divine. She stands a towering 28 feet tall and is located on Mojave Moon Ranch in Joshua Tree. The land is private property, so you can see it from the viewing platform off of Sunfair Road. And take it from me, it's best viewed at sunset."

Swim or kayak through the limestone cliffs of the Twin Lagoon, a must-visit destination for those traveling to Coron, Palawan, Philippines. It is called "twin" lagoon because it consists of two lagoons separated by a limestone cliff, with one lagoon on top of the other. The water in the inner lagoon is warm and clear, with a stunning turquoise color that makes it popular for swimming and snorkeling.

Take a dip in a series of seven saltwater lagoons located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The Lagoons of Baltinache are known for their beautiful turquoise waters and unique geological formations. The high concentration of minerals in the water gives it a unique buoyancy that makes swimming in the lagoons a unique experience.

Watching the sun rise above the clouds at Haleakalā National Park is one of the most memorable experiences you could have. Haleakalā is a Hawaiian name that means “House of the Sun” and is an awesome place to watch the clear night sky and stars fade away as the sun lights up the sky and the earth.

Just 1 hour from Shanghai by train, Cherry Blossom Valley is a popular tourist destination, particularly in the spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The valley is named after the thousands of cherry blossom trees that cover the area and create a stunning display of pink and white flowers. The trees were originally planted in the 1980s by a group of Japanese experts who were invited to China to help with reforestation efforts. The best time to visit is typically in late March or early April. Get there early to beat the crowds!

For a magical moment and bucket list travel experience, visit the end point of the annual monarch butterfly migration. Starting in August, the monarchs travel 2,800 miles south from Canada, making a temporary home amid the towering trees of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, where the two most popular sanctuaries to view them are el Rosario in the state of Michoacan and Piedra Herrada in Estado de México. Standing in silence while thousands of delicate wings beat in unison is something you'll never forget.

As we experience a couple more weeks of winter, we can't help but dream of tropical destinations like Hawaii. The warm water, sunny skies, and consistent waves make it an ideal destination for surfers. Hawaii has a vibrant surf culture and community and is also a beautiful place to explore outside of the water, with lush green mountains, stunning beaches, and unique cultural experiences.
