Summer 2024 Countdown: What You Should Do Now to Get Ready for Summer in Miami

It’s never too early to start thinking (and dreaming) of summer 2024 in Miami. Before the season arrives, it’s important to plan what to do to help you arrive smoothly and with confidence. From epic annual events and concerts to summer travel tips and tricks, we’re helping you cut through the chaos with our guide to getting summer-ready.

Book Your Miami Hotel Stay

Hotels, flights, car rentals, and excursions can fill up quickly, causing prices to surge before you even have the chance to pick a date for your Miami getaway. Secure your spot as far in advance as you can. Stay in the heart of South Beach with The Sagamore Hotel, Miami’s original “art hotel.” Situated within the historic Art Deco District, our beachfront property is only steps from the Lincoln Road Mall and SoBe’s most popular attractions, restaurants, nightclubs, and shopping hubs. Book your summer getaway early and save big with our exclusive summer offers.

Prepare your Mind and Body for a Trip to Miami

Get healthy, energized, and excited for the warmer months to come. Miami’s summer weather hovers around 90 degrees in addition to humidity, so health matters when you want to make the most of our sunny shore. Consider detoxing with healthy foods to have the energy to get out when the weather calls for it. Try working cardio and strength training into your weekly regimen to build your endurance for those summer swims and treks around town.

It’s never too early to cultivate a respite mindset. Treat yourself to a vacation state of mind, whether that’s allowing yourself gentle gestures, connecting with others, distancing yourself from technology, or living in the moment. We promise you’ll arrive in Miami ready to go with the flow, thus creating a better vacation experience.

Start Making your ‘Summer in Miami’ Wishlist Purchases

Is this the year you buy a new bathing suit or sunglasses, or maybe even a pair of rollerblades to cruise Ocean Drive? Start making your summer packing list and get the essentials (or extras) you’ll need to make your Miami vacation pop. Stock up on sunscreen and make sure you have a pair of beach shoes, a beach towel and bag, sun hat, and an outfit for those late Miami nights. Click here for the ultimate Miami packing list.

Plan which Miami Summer Events to Attend

Some of Miami’s most anticipated events happen in the summer, including the Wynwood Pride Festival, Miami Salsa Festival, International Ballet Festival, Miami Swim Week, Florida Supercon, Miami International Auto Show, and the South Beach Mango Festival. We’re looking forward to seeing what they have in store this summer. Plus, there’s the city’s widespread Juneteenth and 4th of July celebrations, Miami Spice Months, Miami Marlins games, live theater at the Adrienne Arsht Center, and the anticipated Calida Rawles: Away with the Tides exhibition coming to PAMM in late June.

Stay tuned for our Miami Summer Events Guide 2024 to help you get a jump-start on your summer planning.

“Great summer spot for the family. Love this hotel! Great location, great staff!...Hotel is clean and modern. Price per night is very reasonable for being in the middle of South Beach. It’s been our vacation spot for the last couple years.” - Miguel A, TripAdvisor

“My wife and I decided to spend a night in Miami as part of our 10 year anniversary…The Sagamore is located in the center of Miami Beach…You have…a scenic walking or bike path (and The Sagamore has bikes included free of charge), you have shops and dining on Lincoln road to the west, and The Sagamore is right at the east edge of that. To the south you have the scenic Ocean View and public beach areas. This makes the location ideal. The rooms are modern, clean, spacious, and refined and the building has a clear focus on art and artistic sensibilities. Most critically, the staff are amazingly helpful…They also made us feel spoiled…I would gladly stay here again on future trips or recommend others to do the same.” Matt Eland, Google

“Summer Vacation. The staff was amazing and attentive! This hotel is so beautiful and intimate. We had so much fun, pool staff was great, drinks were delicious. We will definitely return for our next vacation! Thank you, Sagamore!” - Michelle L, TripAdvisor

“An exceptional stay at a beautiful beachside retreat! Stayed here many times over the years…For art lovers, you can't help but notice the incredible art displayed throughout the property. The hotel truly embraces a unique and captivating artistic ambiance, adding an extra touch of sophistication to the overall experience. Some art pieces are permanent and there are always new exhibitions that envelop the hallways and the showroom downstairs…I wholeheartedly recommend Sagamore Hotel to anyone seeking a classy, memorable, and rejuvenating stay in Miami Beach.” - Inga Romanoff, Google

“Great, convenient location, excellent service. Our party of 4 recently stayed at the Sagamore Hotel…the customer service was very good…the beds were very comfy. The pool was a great temperature: not too cold, but also not overly warm for a hot summer day. Also, the beach access was in fact a great feature to this hotel! It only takes a minute to walk from the pool out to the beach. 2 lawn chairs and towels for each guest was given down at the beach.” - Nicole D, TripAdvisor
