Miami Airport Wellness: 10 Ways to Get Healthy at Miami Airport
1. Stretch out with some yoga
We’re all about stretching out with some airport yoga. Just the thought of being cramped up on a plane for however many hours makes us want to strike a warrior pose!
Location: Pre-security, Terminal H, 1st floor. Open daily 9 am-9 pm.
2. Breathe in some fresh air at the green wall
Green walls (or “living” walls) have been proven to help calm the nerves of passengers, provide some clean air to breathe and help boost the overall morale of travelers.
Location: Behind the reception desk.
3. Keep hydrated with the many hydration stations
It’s so important to stay hydrated – especially at the airport. Get your hydration levels up before you board the flight by filling up at one of Miami Airports many water-bottle filling stations.
Location: Throughout the terminals, post-security.
4. Relax in a rocking chair
Long gone are the days when rocking chairs were only meant for old ladies knitting. Yes, that’s right. Rocking chairs have a lot of other benefits to them like helping to ease anxiety, depression, improve your balance and reducing your need for pain medication.
Location: Scattered through the terminals.
5. Grab a nutritious meal at Lorena Garcia Cocina
You may recognize chef Lorena Garcia from her Taco Bell commercials, but fast food burritos notwithstanding, she has made some right career moves. Her airport outpost, Lorena Garcia Cocina, serves Caribbean jerk chicken, shrimp ceviche and baked breakfast empanadas that come out of the kitchen fast, but not suspiciously fast.
Location: Concourse D, near Gate 57.
6. Relax at the many airport spas
MIA has a few different spas to check out. Jetsetter Spa is located between South Terminal H, 2nd level. Services include manicures, pedicures, massages, and spray tanning. If you’re feeling like getting your nails done, 10 Minute Manicure at South Terminal J, 2nd level, offers manicures, pedicures, and massage.
There’s also the Exhale mini-spa located inside The Centurion Lounge. They offer express services such as chair massages and manicures as well as heated neck pillows and herbal teas.

If you want a sweet and insanely delicious seafood meal, look no further than My Ceviche. They serve a variety of ultra-fresh meals from ceviche burritos and fish tacos to salad and ceviche bowls.

Miami Airport wellness doesn’t stop at food, drinks and pampering services. Art can stimulate your mind too and help you relax before a long flight.

10. Grab a fresh juice for the flight at Jamba Juice
There’s nothing like a freshly squeezed juice to make you feel instantly healthier. This is a snack that you’ll be able to take on the plane, shame-free.
