Give winter the cold shoulder with a sojourn of sun, sand and shopping in South Beach.

stay
We’re not sure what we love most about The Betsy: the colonial, beach-style rooms (stocked with Frette linens, Dylan’s Candy and Malin + Goetz products), the location (slap bang on Ocean Drive), the restaurant (Laurent Tourondel's fabulous BLT), or simply the overall vibe (heightened by some great music styling). From $300/night, www.thebetsyhotel.com

eat
If you’re lusting after sushi try Bond St, where the fish is fabulously fresh and inventively prepared. You’ll find a wonderful plate of melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi at DeNiro’s Ago and for fantastic steak try Prime One Twelve.

drink
From the Setai to the Delano to the Shore Club, every SoBe hotel boasts a great people-gazing bar. We settled comfortably into the sofas at the W South Beach and sipped cocktails, flicked through fashion tomes and counted collagen implants.

shop
South Beach has The Webster, Barneys and Intermix – but savvy shoppers know to cab it to the design district. En Avance is worth a visit for a smattering of big name and on-the-up designers  and if you’re shopping with your guy, be sure to check out the bespoke suits at Duncan Quinn. The Louboutin store is a real thrill and for mega splurge furnishings pop into Fendi Casa or Kartell.
