Plan Art Basel Miami Beach 2026, December 4 to 6, with a private villa, a crewed yacht, a driver and tables handled by one concierge. Rates on request.
Still need the house? See our Art Basel Miami villa rental page.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2026 runs December 4 to 6 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, with invitation-only VIP preview days on December 2 and 3. For the week around it, Miami fills up fast: homes, yachts, drivers and the best tables are often gone by early November. This is how we plan the full week for clients of LUXTERIA Concierge • Miami, from the first preview day to the last dinner.

Why plan the whole week, not just the fair
The fair is three days. The week is everything around it: gallery dinners, collector events, satellite fairs and parties across Miami Beach, the Design District and Wynwood. Guests who arrive with a house, a driver and a boat already in place spend their time on the art, not on logistics.
Day 1, Wednesday Dec 2: arrive and settle in
- Arrival. A chauffeur meets you at the airport or the private terminal. See airport VIP meet and greet.
- The villa is ready. Stocked fridge, staff briefed, the house set up the way you asked. Browse our villas or the Art Basel villa rental page.
- Dinner at home. A private chef for a quiet first night before the preview days start.
Day 2, Thursday Dec 3: preview day
- A driver on standby for the convention center and the evening events.
- A table booked for after the preview. See restaurant reservations.
Day 3, Friday Dec 4: the fair opens, the bay is calm
Morning at the fair, then a private crewed yacht in the afternoon to reset. A yacht can leave from a marina close to Miami Beach, or collect you at the dock if your villa is on the water. See villas with a dock.
Day 4, Saturday Dec 5: host on the water
Saturday is the day many collectors host. A yacht on Biscayne Bay gives you a private room with a skyline view, away from the crowds. Add a chef, a sommelier or flowers. See the Art Basel yacht charter page.
Private yachts in Miami usually host up to 12 guests. Hosting more? See yacht charter for larger groups.
Day 5, Sunday Dec 6: last fair day, slow brunch
A late brunch, the final hours at the fair, and a driver to the airport when you are ready.
