A private Black SUV makes the 7.2-mile (11.6 km) journey from MIA Airport to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort in 20–23 minutes along the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195), for a fixed price from $80 per vehicle. We handle private transfers in either direction between MIA Airport and Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, staffed by a bilingual driver, with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans on hand for bigger groups.
Choose the vehicle that suits your party; each price shown below is the full one-way private transfer, covering everyone riding along.
With us, you get one vehicle, one driver, and one fare — all yours. The vehicle carries your group only, with no strangers aboard and no detours tacked onto your route. The fare locks in the instant you book: whatever we quote is what you pay, no matter the traffic, the demand, or the real landing time of your flight. Your driver speaks two languages — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — so international guests communicate with ease. And the entire process runs through WhatsApp: you send a message, a real person replies, and that same line stays available before, during, and after your journey. At a resort designed for switching off, showing up with zero transportation friction is exactly the idea.
A private transfer booked ahead is the simplest way to travel this route: a single vehicle, a single driver, door to door, with nothing to sort out once you touch down. Booking takes three steps. First, send us your flight details along with how many are traveling. Second, we lock in the vehicle and driver — solo travelers, couples, and small families take the Black SUV, while bigger parties ride a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Third, you land, grab your bags, and go. The return works identically: we time the resort pickup to your outbound flight so you get to MIA with plenty of check-in room. There are no counters to hunt down at the airport and no forms at the resort — the entire arrangement is settled before your plane even leaves the ground.
Three private, climate-controlled vehicle tiers serve this route, and picking the right one is simply a matter of your headcount and bags.
Anyone searching for a Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator wants a full-size black SUV, and that is precisely the class our Black SUV tier provides. Count on a spacious cabin that swallows airport luggage with ease. Should your group need more room than any SUV can give, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the next step up.
Yes. For parties above the largest van’s capacity, we run two private Sprinter vans together, collecting everyone at the same time and taking the same route to the resort. Send us your headcount and flight details on WhatsApp, and we will confirm the right vehicle combination for your group.
Budget 20 to 23 minutes in the car. During off-peak windows — mid-morning, early afternoon, late evening — the drive sits at the low end, close to 20 minutes. Weekday rush hour nudges it toward 23 as commuter traffic thickens between the airport and the beach. That gap stays narrow because the distance is short; even a peak-hour landing keeps the transfer under half an hour. If you have something scheduled at the resort on arrival day — a spa slot, a dinner booking — plan on the higher number and allow a buffer for baggage claim at MIA, the one leg of the trip nobody can control.
The standard meeting point is curbside on MIA’s arrivals level. Once you have cleared baggage claim, step out through the ground-level doors and your vehicle is waiting at the curb. Ahead of your landing, we share the driver’s name and vehicle details over WhatsApp so you know exactly who and what to look for — no signs to puzzle out, no garage to locate, no shuttle bus to a distant lot. The driver loads your bags and the ride begins right away. It is the quickest exit from the airport, which counts after a long flight, when one short drive is all that stands between you and the resort.
None of it lands on you. We monitor the inbound flight live, so the pickup follows your actual arrival time rather than the schedule on your ticket. Late arrival, early arrival, gate changes — the driver adapts on their own, and your reservation holds exactly as booked, with no messages needed from you.
Yes, as an optional paid add-on you request at booking. The driver enters the arrivals hall, holds a sign with your name, and walks your group from baggage claim to the vehicle. Standard bookings use the curbside pickup described above; the in-terminal greeting is there for guests who would rather be met at the door.
The rate takes care of everything the trip itself calls for. Tolls and SunPass charges are built in — the driver never asks for toll money during or after the ride. Fuel is covered no matter the routing or the traffic. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot in the vehicle, handy for confirming your check-in or letting family know you have arrived. None of these are options to select or upgrades to pay for; they are simply part of every booking on this route.
Two things can add to the base price: trips starting outside the daytime window, described in the night-tariff section below, and optional extras — the in-terminal meet-and-greet or child seats past the first — which we confirm with you at booking. Everything else, from tolls to WiFi, is already baked into the rate.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — simply request it when you book. Extra seats carry a fee that we confirm at booking. Send your children’s ages over WhatsApp and the correct seats will be fitted in the vehicle before pickup.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice. Note the pet on WhatsApp when you book and bring a pet carrier — pets travel inside the carrier for the entire ride. Confirm Carillon Miami’s own pet policy separately before you travel; we take care of the transportation, and the resort handles its own rules.
Each passenger’s allowance — one checked bag plus one carry-on — is part of the rate, so a full vehicle manages a normal vacation load with no planning at all. Longer wellness stays often bring extra or oversized bags, and those are welcome too: message us on WhatsApp before your travel day with what you are carrying, and we will either confirm the room in your booked vehicle or upgrade you to a larger van so everything travels together in one trip. On this route, luggage is never a reason to leave anything behind — only a reason to send one more message.
Payment comes in two parts — a deposit when you reserve and the balance on travel day — and nothing is charged until you have confirmed the booking details with us. Here is the full breakdown:
Most transfers on this route land inside our daytime window — 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM — and carry no surcharge whatsoever. Red-eye arrivals and very early departures beyond that window add a small night adjustment:
Carillon Miami Wellness Resort is an oceanfront property in Miami Beach built around wellness: spa therapies, fitness, and recovery define the entire resort rather than occupying a corner of it. Guests arrive for structured multi-day wellness programs as often as for a traditional beach getaway, and the resort’s suites, pools, and direct ocean frontage serve both. The property sits along North Beach, a quieter, more residential stretch of Miami Beach that swaps nightlife crowds for open sand and an unhurried pace — an intentional match for a wellness-focused stay. Room categories, dining, and availability appear on the resort’s official website. For arriving guests, the practical point is simple: people come here to unwind, and the airport ride should not be the stressful part.
Carillon Miami centers its identity on wellness: thermal experiences, treatment suites, fitness classes, and structured multi-day programs all run on site. Offerings change through the year, so check the resort’s wellness and spa pages for the current menu and book treatments directly with the resort before you arrive.
North Beach delivers a calmer slice of Miami Beach: an oceanfront path for morning walks and runs, a broad public beach, and neighborhood restaurants and cafés within walking distance of the resort. Guests craving the livelier side of the city can head south to the Art Deco district for the evening and come back to the quiet afterward.
We run a private car service — reserved ahead, with a specific driver and vehicle assigned to your name — rather than a metered taxi you flag down on arrival. Guests searching for a taxi to Carillon Miami get an improved version of the same result: you bypass the taxi line at MIA entirely, because your ride was set up before you ever boarded.
Per vehicle, every time. One rate covers the SUV or van and everyone riding inside, whether that is a single guest or a full group in the largest Sprinter. Dividing the fare across your party is what makes a private transfer surprisingly affordable for families and retreat groups.
Right at Carillon Miami’s main entrance. The driver unloads your bags there, and you walk straight in to check in — no parking lots, no dragging luggage across a street. Departing guests are collected at that same entrance at the set time, with the vehicle waiting before you step outside.
Yes — most guests reserve both directions together. Give us your departure flight when you book, and we set the resort pickup with enough cushion for check-in and security at MIA. Both legs sit on one confirmation, so there is nothing new to arrange on the way home.
As soon as your flights are set. Advance notice matters most for Sprinter van groups, early-morning pickups, and holiday weekends, when vehicles go to whoever reserves first. Short-notice requests are still worth sending — message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you honestly whether a vehicle is free for your time.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
