Vacation to Miami/Doral

I'm going to visit my college roommate in Doral in two weeks. I was curious if you ladies had any recommendations on fun things to do. I'm not a big club person, but want to find something fun to do. Can you recommend anything for two girls with no responsibilities for three days? :) Thanks!

Re: Vacation to Miami/Doral

  • My favorite thing to do in Doral is Doral Spa....I think most of the girls would agree.  I LOVE IT!!! Other than that not much.  LOL! Doral is pretty much divided in homes (doral estates/isles/parks etc...I'm sure your friend knows) or the warehouse business.  There is Dorale Ale house but I'm not a big fan....it's usually packed with college freshmen (since FIU is close by).  There is an Anthony's Coal Fire pizza off of 87th Ave...that place is yummy.  Definitely recommend to eat there.  But you're staying in an area where you can get to anywhere pretty much in 15 to 30 minutes.  So you should definitely check Key Biscayne....hit crandon park.  That's always fun.  Or the beach (Lincoln Rd.).  Also, I know there is a winery in the red lands/everglades.  It's suppose to be pretty good.  I wish I could give you the exact location :/ btw, enjoy your trip!!
  • Shopping!  LOL  There is an outlet mall nearby that is pretty good, Dolphin Mall.  The mall also has a theater and a bowling ally, that is a bit more hip with club-type music/atomphere and a bar... very upscale.  Then there is Cinebistro in the same mall.  I've never been, but I've heard it is fun - eat / drink while you watch a movie.  However, you do need reservations, as it fills up quickly.

    Another lovely mall nearby is Merrick Park - lots of upscale shops, and restaurants - located in the Gables.  Another nice area in the Gables is Miracle Mile... lots of restaurants and bars.

    Like pp said, the Doral Spa is amazing.  And if you are into golf, they have great courses.

  • Like PP....the Spa there is amazing. Its pricey but worth it. There are two malls in the area, tons of restaurants. The cinebistro Jackie is talking about is super nice. Ive been twice. Its great if you want a smaller theater setting and you can have lunch or dinner there.

    As far as clubs, Doral is more of a residential/commercial area. However, the grove is not too far from doral. I would say about 20 mins away?

  • I agree with PP.  Definitely go to the spa if it's in your budget, people always rave about it.  Hit up the Dolphin Mall for outlets and Merrick Park for a more upscale place.  I would also go to Miracle Mile for shopping and eating.  I love Mis Saigon down there!

    Coconut Grove isn't far like Jenny said and neither is South Beach.  Doral is pretty centrally located!
