Hey! Art Basel Miami is about to shake the international art scene very soon attracting leading galleries, collectors and other art aficionados from all around the world. Whether you are a passionate art collector, a regular visitor who travelled up to South Florida beach to feel the unique experience of this global fair, or a leniently indifferent fair guest concentrated only on carousing in after parties, there are a lot of other things you still can do, other than visiting this prestigious art fair.
Ideally, let’s say you feel very happy because you successfully purchased your favourite artist’s new artwork or excited to have spent the whole day wondering around the fair. The big question is: what would you do next, though? Any other challenges, apart from buying art from high-end galleries? What if you meet someone interesting and besides your common feelings for Tracey Emin’s love themed paintings or Anish Kapoor’s astoningly perfect sculptures, you are very willing to keep your discussion going. The new key question becomes where to go! Well, even if you are familiar with the vibrant Miami city, you still have to check out this list which of the six best locations to spot Miami’s potential on an artsy date:
1. Juvia, the best rooftop bar in Miami

Either for an early cocktail or a gourmet cuisine to seal the deal, this quite posh bar with the great aesthetics will beautifully fire up your night from its great heights.

Its hipster outdoor bar space and the various range of seating around the pool is conveniently suitable for a cool date. Candles on tables, a small fountain, good music, exotic cocktails during night or daytime create an unbeatable atmosphere as well as a “win-win” chance to chill out with your date.

Should you desire to keep your stimulating experience after viewing some hundreds of great pieces of contemporary art and you want to maintain this feeling? If so, then simply recommend your date to visit the Vila Casa Casuarina at once. The neo-classical Versace Mansion, where the iconic designer Gianni Versace was murdered in 1997, is a more luxurious solution that always fits an art lover’s standards; it’s definitely a gastronomic place to impress your date!
