The nightlife in Miami is world famous for good reason: it’s vibrant, sexy and exclusive. Miami has an obsession with beautiful people and stylish clubs, and the SoBe area of the city is where the cream of the social scene can be found. With infinite bars and clubs offering the ultimate evening experience, Elite Traveler has picked the best things to do at night in Miami.
Mokai Lounge
Mokai Lounge features a fresh, Asian-inspired design that has reestablished the club as one of the premier destinations for Miami revelers. The intimate club holds just 18 VIP seating areas with a capacity for 270 guests total. The size of Mokai just adds to the exclusivity of the club; this isn’t a place to be seen, because everybody inside is already a somebody. The venue regularly hosts themed music nights, concerts and celebrity host appearances, with ‘Mokai Mondays’ a favorite weekly occurrence.

Nikki Beach/Pearl
Located right on the ocean, Nikki Beach is regarded as the quintessential way to experience the SoBe nightlife. The private cabanas and hammocks on the beach are a great place to chill out and watch the movers and shakers while sipping on a cocktail. If you’re looking to dance, head to the Pearl Lounge. The 10,000 sq ft venue is styled as a champagne lounge with gleaming white decor from floor to ceiling. A luxurious bottle service menu includes labels from Dom Perignon to Armand de Brignac that guests can sip while moving to live DJs or watching burlesque shows.
