The Hottest Spots & Parties To Hit At Art Basel Miami

When the art scene meets the social scene…

It’s the most wild and wonderful time of the year – no, not the holidays. Art Basel Miami is almost upon us, marking the return of the art world’s annual carnival of creativity, society, and a whole lot of debauchery down on the neon strip of South Beach and beyond. And while a requisite trip to the actual art fair is obviously on the agenda, let’s be real: You’re there to see and be seen, and we’re not talking gallery tours. After all, Miami is the ultimate party playground, and when the international glitterati are in town, you can bet the city’s hot spots are more scorching than ever.

Wanna rub elbows with high rollers and dance the night away with artsy darlings? Fleur’s got your guide to the must-hit haunts of Art Basel ‘23. We’ll help pack your bags – all you need to do is bring that Miami heat.

The hottest ticket in town? An exclusive evening with Fleur, of course. Alongside legendary performance artist Millie Brown, Origen Specialty Vodka, and Chotto Matte, we invite you to embrace the avant-garde, indulge your senses, and embark on a truly out-of-this-world escape at Celestial Bodies. Hosted at Miami’s most sizzling Japanese-Peruvian spot, the one-night-only affair will span space and sound in celebration of musician Tim Young’s new disco release “Supernova.” So prepare for a night of spirited sips, bites with spice, and plenty of dramatic theatrics – both on and off the dance floor. And since it wouldn’t be a Fleur-worthy fete without showing a little skin, donning your most luxe lingerie is officially on the dress code. (Yes boys, that goes for you, too.)

You’ll find yourself in the center of the action (and in the lap of luxury) when you post up at this posh paradise. The who’s who of Miami – and New York, and LA – never fail to flock to this Art Deco hotel and social club, where coveted entrance grants you access to a weeklong lineup of private parties, surprise performances, and all-night DJ sets surrounded by the jet set. Whether you’re sitting pretty by the pool or getting down in the infamous Beach Tent, feel free to get a little flashy and dress as dazzling as the stars you’ll no doubt be surrounded by. Rev your engines: We hear Porsche will be throwing quite the bash there this week, among other marquee names.
