How to Beat The Rain in The Magic City

Summer season is in full swing in the Magic City and with that comes the dreadful summer showers. While rainy days make all of us want to bundle up and binge-stream our favorite TV shows, we’ve rounded up a list of activities and hot spots you should be hitting on a stormy day in Miami. Who says you can’t have fun on a rainy day?

Treat Yourself To a Spa Day  

Don’t let the gloomy weather get you down. Rainy days are the perfect time to unwind and relax while pampering yourself to a great facial or hot stone massage. Though, if you are looking for a more extravagant spa treatment and experience, Miami boasts some of the finest spas in the country. Dubbed “the most beautiful spa in America” by Martha Stewart, Fontainebleau’s Lapis Spa offers extraordinary treatments like the Sea Wellness Body Wrap,  an exfoliating and detoxifying wrap treatment that will leave you feeling refreshed.

Keep Up With the Latest in Art and Entertainment 

While Wynwood Walls has become an iconic staple to Miami’s eclectic and diverse art scene, there are other ways to get your art fix in while staying dry. Make sure to visit Pérez Art Museum, better known as PAMM—Miami’s flagship museum featuring internationally renowned contemporary art. Adjacent, you will also find the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science where you can spend the day browsing cool exhibitions like the Frost Planetarium and Aquarium.

If you are looking to escape into cinema’s fictional realm, the Brickell City Centre recently unveiled the CMX – VIP Movie Theater Experience. Catch the latest showing of some of Hollywood’s newest theatrical hits while snacking on some of CMX’s delicious food items. 

Catch Up on The Latest Readings

Evoking an old-school library look, Books & Books (with locations in Coral Gables, Bal Harbour Shops, and Lincoln Road Mall) is a premiere destination for Miamians looking to escape into the world of literature. Don’t fret, if the rainy weather is making you crave some hot chocolate or light snacks, The Café at Books & Books serves flawlessly crafted artisanal sandwiches and other treats catered for almost every food craving you may have.

Sweat it Out With a Power Workout
