Miami has been listed as one of the Top Ten Glamorous A-list Destinations in the world, according to the Lonely Planet. This week, we’ll take a look at why!
The Miami of the Miami Vice era in the 1980s was a mixture of retirement homes and an abundance of sleaze, drugs and crime. However, in the early 1990’s Miami cleaned itself up and became a destination for fashion houses and model agencies, attracted by the superb location backdrops for fashion shoots provided by the beautiful beaches, Art Deco architecture and bright sunshine. Soon Miami became super-hip and an abundance of hotels, bars and restaurants were revamped or opened up to cater to the incoming elite. There were plenty of places to park yachts, such as in Bal Harbour in North Miami Beach and eventually, there came the super glamorous hotels such as the Fountainebleau in Mid Beach.
Miami Beach is experiencing a celebrity boom right now, with numerous American sports stars and media stars choosing to buy homes here. Just this week, there are reports in the Miami New Times that the New York Yankees’ star A-Rod has bought a $24m home in Miami to share with his girlfriend, superstar Cameron Diaz. The Celebrity King and Queen of Miami is probably still Emilio and Gloria Estefan, who have invested heavily in local art, businesses and charity projects.
