Private Jet Charter
Tampa to Miami

Tampa to Miami is one of Florida's busiest private routes — a sub-hour hop that turns a four-hour drive on I-75 into a glass of champagne and a window seat. Whether it's Art Basel, a Brickell board meeting, or a weekend on South Beach, Will Smith Aviation puts the whole Miami metro within easy reach.

The destination

Flying private to Miami

Miami rewards arriving on your own schedule. The city runs on its own clock — late dinners in Brickell, gallery openings in Wynwood, sunrise on South Beach — and a private charter lets you match it instead of fighting an airline timetable. From Tampa, the flight is barely long enough to finish a coffee, and you can land at an executive field minutes from where you're actually going rather than fighting MIA's congestion.

The guide

Where to stay, dine & explore

Where to stay

For oceanfront grandeur, the Faena Hotel Miami Beach brings theatrical Art Deco glamour to Mid-Beach, while The Setai offers serene, Asian-influenced luxury on Collins Avenue. Downtown, the Mandarin Oriental, Miami on Brickell Key delivers bayfront calm steps from the financial district, and the Four Seasons at The Surf Club in Surfside pairs a restored 1930s landmark with Thomas Keller's restaurant. For Design District proximity, The Miami Beach EDITION blends nightlife and polish.

Where to dine

Miami's dining scene spans the globe. Stubborn Seed in South Beach holds a Michelin star under chef Jeremy Ford, and Los Félix in Coconut Grove earned one for its masa-driven Mexican cooking. For a classic Miami night out, Joe's Stone Crab remains an institution, while KYU in Wynwood draws crowds for wood-fired Asian plates. Brickell's Zuma handles the see-and-be-seen business dinner with ease.

What to do

Catch Art Basel in December or the year-round galleries of the Wynwood Walls. Tour the Italianate gardens of Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, spend a day on Key Biscayne's beaches, or take in a Heat game at the Kaseya Center. Shoppers head to Bal Harbour Shops; for a quieter pace, the boutiques and cafés of Coconut Grove deliver.

Getting there
