Art Basel Miami Beach 2022 is almost here (festivities kick off on Nov. 29) and to make sure you hit all the hotspots during your time in Miami, GRAZIA USA asked model, actress and influencer Daniela Botero for her favorite places around town.

The Colombia-born star lived in Paris when she began her modeling career that took her all over the world. After discovering her passion for acting, she moved to New York City to study theater and landed roles in Latin shows such as Run Coyote Run on Fox International, Enfermeras on RCN Colombia, 100 Días para Enamorarnos on Telemundo, and Betty en NY on Telemundo. Her latest work will be seen in the upcoming Sony film titled Córtalas

She moved to Miami in 2015 with her husband and daughter Ilana, where she’s continued her acting work and developed her new skincare line, Identiti, launching in 2023. 

See where the actress and entrepreneur can be found grabbing a green smoothie, dining with friends, hitting the spa and more, in her city guide, below.

Go-to spot for your morning beverage? 

I love green smoothies in the morning. Delicious Raw and Pura Vida make the best ones.   

Favorite place for date night? 

La Petite Maison (LPM) is my favorite restaurant in Miami with a great vibe. 

Where do you go for some R&R?

I completely reset after a good HydraFacial, a deep tissue massage and time in the steam room at the Iconbrickell Spa at the W Miami. 

Hidden hideaway in town? 

Tropical Chinese has great food and a relaxing feel.  

Best class to get in a great workout?

For a full-body workout, JetSet Pilates is the best.  

Where can we find you hanging out during Art Basel? 

There’s no better time to visit galleries around Miami and discover new artists than during Art Basel. I love going to Meridians, the Nova sector and the Positions sector. 

Hotspot to visit on a night out with friends? 

I love grabbing dinner with friends at ZZ’s Club — a sushi restaurant in the heart of the Design District. They also have an incredible bar upstairs. I love their cocktails.

Favorite shopping destination?

You can find me in the Design District.
