Where every stay sets the Standard™
The world’s biggest sporting event is heading to South Florida.
The FIFA World Cup 2026™, the largest in tournament history, will bring global energy, international fans, and unforgettable moments to the region. With matches hosted at Miami Stadium (Hard Rock Stadium) and festivities stretching across Miami and Fort Lauderdale, South Florida is set to become one of the most exciting World Cup destinations in the world.
If you’re planning to attend the matches, travel with friends or family, or simply soak in the atmosphere of a once-in-a-generation event, where you stay will define your entire experience. This is not just a trip—it’s a global celebration. And it deserves a stay that matches the moment.
What to Expect from the FIFA World Cup in South Florida
The 2026 World Cup will feature 48 teams and more than 100 matches across North America, making it the most expansive tournament ever. South Florida will host several high-profile matches, including knockout-stage games, drawing fans from every corner of the globe.
Beyond the stadium, expect an electric atmosphere throughout the region. International fan zones, cultural celebrations, pop-up events, and watch parties will transform South Florida into a global meeting place. Restaurants, beaches, nightlife venues, and waterfront promenades will all become part of the experience, blending world-class football with the unmistakable lifestyle of South Florida.
June and July bring warm weather, long days, and vibrant nights—perfect conditions for combining match days with beach time, dining, and exploration.
Why Fort Lauderdale Is the Ideal Home Base
While Miami will host the matches, Fort Lauderdale offers a smarter, more relaxed place to stay—especially for travelers seeking space, comfort, and luxury. Just north of Miami, Fort Lauderdale provides easy access to the stadium while offering a calmer, more refined coastal environment.
Known as the “Venice of America,” Fort Lauderdale features miles of navigable waterways, pristine beaches, luxury marinas, and a sophisticated dining scene.
During the World Cup, it becomes the perfect balance to the excitement—close enough to the action, yet removed from congestion and crowds.
Staying in Fort Lauderdale allows you to enjoy match days in Miami and return to a private, peaceful luxury home at night—something hotels simply can’t offer during an event of this scale.
Places to Explore While You’re Here
A World Cup trip to South Florida is more than football—it’s an opportunity to experience one of the most dynamic coastal regions in the U.S.
In Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas Boulevard is a must-visit, offering upscale restaurants, cocktail lounges, art galleries, and boutique shopping.
The beachfront promenade is perfect for morning walks, cycling, or unwinding between matches.
Boating and yachting excursions along the Intracoastal Waterway offer a uniquely South Florida experience, while nearby beaches provide space to relax and recharge.
For day trips, Miami’s cultural districts, South Beach nightlife, and global dining scene are all within reach. Whether you’re celebrating a win or enjoying a rest day between matches, the region offers endless ways to elevate your stay.
Why a Luxury Villa Beats a Hotel During the World Cup
Major global events bring packed hotels, limited availability, and premium pricing—often with less space and flexibility. A luxury vacation villa offers a completely different experience.
With Luxury Vacation Stays, you’ll enjoy private homes designed for entertaining, relaxing, and hosting your group in comfort. Think spacious living areas, private pools, outdoor lounges, fully equipped kitchens, and the privacy to celebrate or unwind on your own terms.
Whether you’re traveling with friends, family, or fellow fans, a villa allows you to experience the World Cup together—watching matches at home, hosting pre-game gatherings, and enjoying the freedom that hotels simply can’t provide.
Book Early with Luxury Vacation Stays
The FIFA World Cup 2026 will drive unprecedented demand for accommodations across South Florida. The most desirable luxury homes will book far in advance, especially those near the beach and within easy reach of Miami.
Luxury Vacation Stays curates exceptional villas and luxury residences across Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas, offering travelers a refined, private alternative to traditional hotels. Each property is selected for location, design, and comfort—ensuring your World Cup experience is as memorable off the pitch as it is inside the stadium.
If you’re planning to attend the World Cup, now is the time to secure your stay. Book early, travel better, and experience the FIFA World Cup 2026 from a luxury home that truly sets the standard.
