Miami is ready to shine as Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 approaches, and Airbnb is returning to offer travelers an unforgettable way to experience one of the world’s most prestigious art fairs. Known for turning the city into a global stage for contemporary art, design, and culture each December, Art Basel Miami Beach attracts artists, collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts from across the globe. This year, Airbnb is elevating the experience with a landmark multi-year partnership that transforms visits to the fair into fully immersive art journeys. Guests can now enjoy exclusive experiences, VIP access, and design-forward accommodations that make every moment in Miami as inspiring as the artwork on display.
Art collectors, design enthusiasts, and culture seekers no longer have to follow the typical fair itinerary. Airbnb’s curated experiences offer insider access that goes beyond gallery walls, giving visitors a chance to meet renowned artists, explore private exhibitions, and participate in interactive creative workshops.

Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned Art Basel attendee, Airbnb ensures your trip to Miami becomes a fully personalized and unforgettable adventure in art, design, and culture.
To kick off these exclusive experiences, Airbnb is giving guests the chance to step directly into the world of one of the most celebrated interior designers in the industry.
One standout experience is Exploring the Art of Curation with Kelly Wearstler, where guests step directly into the creative world of the renowned interior designer. Hosted inside Art Basel’s most exclusive lounge, Wearstler guides participants through a hands-on design workshop. Guests learn how to think, create, and curate like a top designer. This is a rare opportunity to engage with one of the most influential figures in contemporary design and gain hands-on insights into her creative process.
For visitors who want an insider perspective on the fair, Airbnb offers Inside Art Basel: Exclusive Director’s Preview with Bridget Finn, Art Basel’s director. Guests gain pre-opening access to the fair, including the ambitious Meridians sector, one of the most exciting areas of the exhibition. The experience concludes with a champagne toast in the Collectors Lounge, providing the perfect opportunity to connect with other art enthusiasts, collectors, and VIPs.
Art Basel fans will also want to experience Tour Jack Pierson’s New Solo Show with the Artist. Guests receive pre-opening access to The Bass Museum for a private tour led by Pierson himself. The exhibition, The Miami Years, showcases the city’s transformative impact on Pierson’s life and work. This intimate experience provides a unique perspective on one of contemporary art’s most celebrated figures and offers a chance to engage directly with the artist in a meaningful way.
Accommodations are just as important as experiences for Art Basel visitors, and Airbnb has curated a wide range of design-forward options to inspire guests and artists alike. Whether travelers prefer a luxury beachfront villa, a chic downtown loft, or a cozy art-filled studio, Airbnb’s selection accommodates every group size and style preference. Searches for Art Basel Miami Beach 2025 stays have surged, including more than 70 percent growth from Houston and Dallas, a 30 percent rise from Nashville, and triple-digit increases from Latin American cities such as Guatemala City and Buenos Aires.
