From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Pineapple Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Offer us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Pineapple Beach Resort sits in South Beach, at 1127 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach 33139, a short block back from the coast that gives this stretch of Miami its name. It is a beachfront-district address, close enough to the sand that numerous guests unpack, change, and walk straight out to the water without moving the car again. If you are flying into MIA and heading here, the resort is the kind of place you settle into quickly, because much of what you came for is already within a few walkable blocks.
The neighborhood around the resort is the busy heart of South Beach. Ocean Drive and its café strip run along one edge, while the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall gathers shops and open-air dining a short walk away. The Art Deco Historic District wraps the whole area in its pastel storefronts and 1930s lines, and Española Way adds a narrow, tiled lane of restaurants and small shops. All of it is compact and on foot, so a stay here rarely calls for another ride once you have arrived.
What you locate on arrival is a coastal base that keeps Miami Beach’s landmarks close and the ocean closer. The sand, the Art Deco streets, and the Lincoln Road crowds are all within simple reach of the door, which makes Pineapple Beach Resort a simple first stop after a flight. Drop your bags, and South Beach is ready without a plan or a second car — the reason a door-to-door transfer straight to this address makes the start of the journey simple.
The ride from MIA to Pineapple Beach Resort is a single private journey, door to door. Your driver meets you in the terminal area as you come off the arrivals level, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no line to join and no second leg to arrange. Your luggage rides in the same vehicle as your party, and the car is yours alone from the airport to the resort door on Washington Avenue.
From the airport the driver heads toward South Beach on the Dolphin Expressway and SR-836, the usual route across to the coast. Plan on roughly 23 to 28 minutes, a little more at peak hours, with traffic on those roads the main thing that shifts the timing. Because the driver tracks your inbound flight, an early or late landing merely moves the pickup — you reach to a car that is already waiting and step straight into the ride to the resort.
