Art Basel Miami Beach, December 3-6, 2009
Art Miami, December 2-6, 2009

You're planning on spending a long weekend being visually stimulated, chatting with artists and partying in all the hottest clubs in Miami's South Beach. You'll definitely be on sensory overload. Why not take a few days, before or after Art Basel and Art Miami, to relax and unwind?

As the northernmost island of the Keys chain, Key Largo is only about an hour's drive from the "buzz" of Miami Beach. Key Largo is the gateway to North America's only living coral reef and the Everglades wilderness, where life imitates art and Mother Nature has a way of soothing the senses.
