Airbnb returns to Art Basel Miami Beach following the successful collaboration in 2024 and, most recently, at Art Basel’s market-defining flagship show in Paris. As part of a landmark multi-year partnership, Airbnb offers art enthusiasts the chance to transform their visit into an immersive journey with once-in-a-lifetime experiences and design-forward stays.
Exclusive art experiences co-developed with Art Basel
Airbnb and Art Basel have curated a selection of exclusive experiences, offering travelers unparalleled access to art and culture during the Miami Beach fair. Highlights include a pre-opening tour of Art Basel Miami Beach led by the fair’s director, Bridget Finn, an interactive design workshop with renowned interior designer Kelly Wearstler; and an artist-guided tour of the Bass Museum of Art with Jack Pierson. These experiences are now available to book on Airbnb:
Exploring the Art of Curation with Kelly Wearstler
Guests will step into Kelly Wearstler’s actual creative process — a rare chance to see how one of the world’s top designers translates art into interiors. They’ll touch and assemble the same kinds of materials that Kelly uses in her studio to build “vibe trays” for inspiration, created with printed images, swatches and colors and textures, while she personally guides them through the exercise. This immersive design workshop takes place inside Art Basel Miami Beach’s exclusive Collector’s Lounge, where guests get to think, create, and curate like Kelly herself.
Insider Art Basel: Exclusive Director’s Preview
Step inside Art Basel Miami Beach before the fair opens to the public with Director Bridget Finn for an exclusive tour of the fair’s most ambitious sector, Meridians, gaining insider insights along the way. In addition to VIP access, guests will end the tour with a champagne toast in the Collectors Lounge—an unforgettable way to experience this year’s fair without the crowds.
