Our guide is tailored to the nuances of Miami’s neighborhoods, recognizing that each area presents its own rhythm and demands during this dynamic week.

From the seasoned streets of Coconut Grove to the bustling boulevards of Miami Beach, the Breathe team has honed an Art Basel routine that marries cultural immersion with self-care. We’ve navigated the fair’s wonders and discovered how to maintain our best selves amidst the artistic whirlwind. Our headquarters may be in the Grove, but when Art Basel arrives, we set up camp in Miami Beach for the day. Here’s how we do it, with our expert local hacks to beat the traffic and optimize wellness.
Neighborhood(s): South Beach and the Convention Center
Our pro-tip for a seamless Art Basel? Secure a room at Faena Hotel, 1 Hotel or The Standard for one day. This becomes our base, a strategic retreat for quick trips to the Convention Center or other nearby fairs like Satellite or Aqua Miami. Between the art dives, we select from our wellness arsenal to rejuvenate and reflect.
For Recovery:
Location: 3201 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33140
We start at the Tierra Santa Healing House, nestled within the Faena Hotel. This sanctuary offers a sprawling hammam and body-healing rituals that ground us for the day ahead. The Wet Spa and Hammams curated by Agustina Caminos are not to be missed, providing a serene escape from the buzz of the fair.
Lifestyle Medicine with Dr. Ivan
Location: 1819 West Ave Bay 6, Miami Beach, FL 33139
