Where to stay in Miami during Spring Break?

Spring Break in Miami

Miami is a magnet for Spring Breakers that converge in the city seeking our gorgeous weather and the loads of highly charged events and parties taking place during this period.

Some mega events taking place during this period that draw the crowds include Miami Music Week, ULTRA and the Miami Open, so try booking as early as possible for the best deals. Whether you are here to party your heart out or just want to enjoy and relax in the sun, here are some top places to stay in the Magic City.

Booking.com

So where should you stay? The epicenter of the action remains South Beach and the Art Deco District area including Ocean Drive, Miami's legendary strip.

Spring Break in Miami is also a great chance for families seeking a break from the cold temperatures, and we do have plenty of beaches where you will not be bothered with partying crowds and noise. Staying away from the South Beach area will assure you a more tranquil vibe so you can enjoy your surf and sun with the family.

The following areas will be quieter while still within easy reach of South Beach:
