{"key":"villa-amaya","blocks":[{"section":"intro","body":"Two nights. That is the number that makes Villa Amaya different from almost everything at this scale in Miami, where five-night and seven-night floors are standard and a gallery weekend usually means a hotel. The house itself is recent construction and reads that way: concrete and timber outside, tall glass, a ground floor that opens straight onto the pool deck, and a rooftop lounge stacked above the second floor. Five bedrooms sleep twelve. The trade, and it is a real one, is three bathrooms."},{"section":"setting","heading":"Minutes from the Design District","body":"The house sits close to the Design District, five minutes away by car, and eight from Wynwood Walls. That is the whole argument for this address: the galleries, showrooms and restaurants people come to this part of Miami for are a short drive rather than a cross-town expedition. Do not plan to walk it. Both of those are drives rather than walks, and Miami heat makes two kilometers a different proposition on foot than it looks on a map. The property is gated with parking on site, so the car that gets you around has somewhere to sit.","bullets":["Design District, five minutes by car","Wynwood Walls, eight minutes by car","Both are drives rather than walks","Gated property with parking on site","Residential setting, quiet hours from 10 PM"]},{"section":"interiors","heading":"Open ground floor","body":"The ground floor is one connected volume. A commercial-grade cook line runs along the back wall with professional appliances, the dining zone and living space sit in front of it, and pocket doors fold the side of the house open onto the pool deck, so indoors and outdoors stop being separate rooms. The espresso machine and purified water are set into the island. A den off the main hall gives a sixth sleeping option or a quiet place to work, useful when twelve people share a single living space. Bedrooms split across the two floors in cool, fresh finishes, four with king beds and one with two queens.","bullets":["Five bedrooms: four with king beds, one with two queens","Only the master is en-suite, the other four use hallway baths","Three bathrooms in total for up to twelve guests","Commercial-grade cook line with professional appliances","Den off the main hall as a workspace or extra sleeping option","Pocket doors open the living space onto the pool deck","Espresso machine and purified drinking water at the island","Flat-screen televisions, safe, air conditioning throughout"]},{"section":"outdoors","heading":"Pool deck and roof","body":"Two outdoor levels, used at different times of day. The pool sits at ground level off the living space, with outdoor furniture, a barbecue and an alfresco dining setup around it, and that is where the afternoon goes. The rooftop lounge opens above the second floor with terrace seating and open sky, and that is where the evening goes. Splitting the two means a group can have a swim going downstairs and a quiet drink upstairs at the same time, which a single-deck house cannot offer. The gate closes the whole thing off from the street.","bullets":["Ground-level pool off the living space","Rooftop lounge above the second floor with terrace seating","Barbecue and alfresco dining by the pool","Outdoor furniture on both levels","Gated perimeter","Beach chairs in the house"]},{"section":"activities","heading":"A short Miami weekend","body":"Amaya is set up for trips that last two or three nights, which changes what people do with it. Groups arrive Friday, spend Saturday in the Design District and Wynwood, cook at home on the cook line rather than book a table, and use the roof after dinner. Art week visitors take it for exactly that reason, since the minimum stay does not force a full week around a three-day event. With the pool on the ground floor and the lounge on the roof, the house absorbs twelve people across a day without everyone being in the same room.","bullets":["Design District galleries and showrooms, five minutes out","Wynwood Walls and the street art circuit, eight minutes","Cooking at home on the commercial-grade line","Roof lounge for evenings","Short weekends and art-week trips"]},{"section":"logistics","heading":"Before you book","body":"The bathroom count is the thing to be honest about. Three bathrooms serve five bedrooms and up to twelve guests, and only the master has its own, so mornings need coordination and a group of six adults who all leave at nine will feel it. If private baths matter more than the address, this is the wrong house in the portfolio. Everything else is straightforward: two-night minimum, gated entry, parking on site, check-in from three and check-out at eleven, quiet hours from ten at night, and no events or parties beyond the booked guest count without approval.","bullets":["Two-night minimum, short for a five-bedroom Miami villa","Three bathrooms for up to twelve guests","One en-suite bedroom only","No events or parties beyond the booked count without approval","Check-in from 15:00, check-out 11:00","Quiet hours 10 PM to 8 AM"]},{"section":"ideal-for","heading":"Best For","body":null,"bullets":["Short Miami weekends and art-week trips","Design and architecture-led travelers","Groups who cook, the kitchen runs a commercial-grade line","Friend groups comfortable sharing bathrooms","Parties who want two separate outdoor levels"]}]}
