From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sonesta Beach Resort 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 pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sonesta Beach Resort stands on Key Biscayne, an island village reached across the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami. Crossing that span leaves the mainland behind and drops you onto a slim barrier island where the pace shifts and the water is never far. It is the kind of address where a chauffeured arrival makes sense, because once the causeway is behind you the resort is the destination and little else competes for your attention.
The island is framed by green on both ends. Crandon Park spreads across the northern reach, and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park anchors the southern tip, where the Cape Florida Lighthouse marks the point. Between them sits the village itself, compact and walkable, with the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other. That setting is what draws travelers to Sonesta Beach Resort in the first place, and it is simple to reach the park trails, the lighthouse, and the surrounding shoreline once you have settled in.
Because the coast wraps so close to Key Biscayne, a stay here frequently begins only steps from the sand. You can unpack and head straight out toward the water without a long walk or another drive. The specifics of the property itself, the rooms, the on-site amenities, and check-in timing, are kept current by the resort, so confirm those directly. What a private transfer handles is the part before all of that, delivering you and your bags to the door so the island time starts the moment you arrive.
Your driver is waiting when you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, watching your actual landing rather than a fixed slot, so a delayed or early flight simply moves the pickup. There is no queue to stand in and no wondering where the car is. You are met at the curb, your luggage goes into the vehicle, and the whole car is yours for a direct run out to Key Biscayne, with no shared stops along the way.
From MIA the route heads toward the Rickenbacker Causeway and across onto the island, ending at the door of Sonesta Beach Resort. Plan on roughly 29 to 36 minutes depending on traffic, with rush hour landing at the slower end and off-peak moving quicker. It is one smooth, door-to-door ride, and the pace stays peaceful because everything, from the timing to the route, is arranged before you land.
