From $89 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Faena Hotel Miami Beach, roughly 31 minutes over 11.1 miles by black SUV or van.
Each price below covers the entire vehicle, fixed when you reserve and unchanged by demand or a late landing:
Your car is scheduled around the flight itself, not the printed ticket. The driver follows your inbound number and reaches the arrivals level as you collect your bags, then waits at the curb by the exit nearest to your baggage carousel. You obtain a direct contact for the driver before landing, so the meetup takes only a moment — walk out, load up, and head for the causeway. If the plane is late, nothing shifts on your end; the pickup moves with it at no extra charge. A curbside meet and greet is part of every booking, and if you would rather be met inside with a name sign, that placard greeting is an optional $40 add-on that suits first-time visitors and groups moving plenty of luggage.
Leaving the airport, the car picks up the SR-112 Airport Expressway, a brief toll road that feeds straight onto I-195 — the Julia Tuttle Causeway — heading east over Biscayne Bay. Because I-195 empties right into Mid-Beach, the surface-street portion at the end of a Faena run stays short, and highway miles account for nearly the whole journey.
Figure on 31 to 33 minutes from curb to entrance, and the full run measures 11.1 miles (17.8 km). The causeway carries most of that distance, so the spread between a simple midday journey and a rush-hour one comes to just a couple of minutes on this route — enough to line up a dinner reservation or a check-in without building in extra padding. Your driver watches live conditions and shifts lanes or routing if anything backs up, though surprises are rare on this stretch.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach is an oceanfront hotel and the centerpiece of the surrounding Faena District. Its public rooms lean deliberately theatrical: gilded columns, deep-red velvet, and a gold-leafed mammoth skeleton set between the pool deck and the beach. The property also holds a cabaret theater that stages dinner shows, a full spa and wellness house, and a row of cabanas along the sand — so many guests arrive with plans already made on site. Current dining, show, and spa listings live on the official Faena Hotel Miami Beach page, with the wider brand covered at Faena’s main site.
Step outside and the Faena District is organized around art and performance, with galleries and event spaces a short walk from the lobby. The oceanfront boardwalk runs directly behind the building for an early stroll, and the blocks neighboring mix cafes, art venues, and beach clubs — more animated than a sleepy resort island but calmer than the club-heavy blocks farther down the coast.
Yes. The car is held only for your group — no shared seats, no extra stops to collect other passengers. The price is tied to the car, not the head count, so the rate stands whether one person rides or the SUV is full. Each leg is booked on its own, and a round journey is just two of those legs reserved together.
Yes — the service works both ways. On departure day the driver picks you up at the Faena and delivers you to the correct terminal at MIA, working the pickup time backward from your flight with the drive and a check-in cushion folded in. Booking the arrival and the return at once means one driver and one set schedule cover the whole visit.
Yes. Beyond the airport, the same cars run to PortMiami, so a hotel-to-ship transfer on sailing day is one booking. Offer us the cruise line, terminal, and boarding time, and the pickup is set against the ship’s schedule instead of a flight. It is a common request for guests pairing a Miami Beach stay with a sailing.

Era un viaje corto, solo yo, la parte más fácil de todo el día de viaje.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. The ride to Faena Hotel Miami Beach was smooth and comfortable the whole way.
So glad I pre-booked. No taxi line, clean car, and a great driver. Traveling on my own, I felt safe and looked after from arrivals all the way to Faena Hotel Miami Beach.
The two of us landed at MIA for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we came out of baggage claim. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free.
Flying into Miami solo, I wasn’t up for the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Faena Hotel Miami Beach. The driver took care of the suitcases so I didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
