From $165 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to El Silencio Lodge & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a lodge-and-spa retreat set in Plantation, a calm suburban corner of the Miami metro that sits inland, well west of the coast. It suits travelers who want a slower pace once the flight is behind them — a place to settle in and unwind rather than a hectic downtown block. The surroundings are residential and green, built around broad, easy streets and quiet planned communities.
Plantation reads as a restful, western stretch of the region, away from the beach crowds and closer to open space. When you arrive, you find the kind of low-key, unhurried setting that fits a spa stay: room to breathe, easy parking, and a neighborhood that stays calm after dark. It works as a practical base as well, with everyday shopping and dining a short drive in most directions, so you are never far from what you need.
The location also keeps you within reach of the region’s bigger draws. Large outlet shopping, an arena for games and live shows, and green space at spots like Tradewinds Park are all a manageable drive away, and the western edge of the metro puts Everglades recreation, including Everglades Holiday Park, within variety for a day out. That mix — a peaceful home base with plenty of room to roam — is much of the appeal of staying out here rather than parked next to the airport.
Your ride from Miami International Airport to El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a private, door-to-door transfer, booked ahead so a vehicle is reserved for your group alone. After you land, the driver tracks your flight and is waiting once you clear the terminal — no pickup pin to hunt for and no line to stand in. Your bags go straight into the vehicle and you head out together.
From MIA the route runs inland toward Plantation, and in ordinary traffic the drive takes roughly forty-five minutes to about an hour, quicker off-peak and slower at rush hour. Because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, a delayed flight simply moves the whole pickup, with nothing to rebook. Tolls and fuel are already covered, so the fare you booked is the fare you pay, and the driver stays reachable before and during the trip.
