PLANNING YOUR 2026 MIAMI F1 TRIP: ESSENTIAL TIPS
WHEN TO BOOK
Miami's luxury villa market experiences unprecedented demand during F1 weekend. Premium properties with ideal locations typically book 6-12 months in advance. Similarly, exotic car inventory and yacht availability become limited as race weekend approaches. Early booking ensures the widest selection and best rates.
WEATHER EXPECTATIONS
Early May in Miami offers ideal conditions with average highs around 85°F (29°C) and low humidity compared to summer months. Occasional afternoon showers are possible but brief. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, light layers for air-conditioned venues, and comfortable walking shoes.
GETTING AROUND MIAMI
While Miami has improved public transportation, luxury car rentals or private car services offer the most flexibility and comfort. Traffic intensifies during race week, so plan extra travel time to Hard Rock Stadium (approximately 25-40 minutes from South Beach depending on traffic and route).
DINING RESERVATIONS
Miami's top restaurants fill quickly during F1 week. Make reservations for restaurants like Carbone, Zuma, Komodo, and Stubborn Seed at least one month in advance. Your Travel with Aspect concierge can assist with securing hard-to-get tables.
BEYOND THE RACE
Consider extending your stay to fully experience Miami. Arrive Thursday to settle into your villa and enjoy the Opening Night festivities. Stay through Monday to recover, enjoy a beach day, or take a yacht cruise when crowds disperse and you have the bay to yourselves.
