Passover in Miami 2027: where to stay and eat during Pesach
Last reviewed: November 9, 2026. Sources for this page are listed in its fact sheet.
Short answer first. Passover 2027 begins at sundown on Wednesday, April 21, and ends at nightfall on Thursday, April 29, outside Israel. The seders fall on the nights of April 21 and 22. Four of the eight days are yom tov, April 22 and 23 at the start and April 28 and 29 at the end, with the middle days, April 24 to 27, as Chol HaMoed. That pattern is the whole planning problem: on yom tov you walk. Your hotel choice is really a walking distance choice, between your room, a seder, and a synagogue. Pick the neighborhood first and the hotel second.

The dates, exactly as the calendar gives them
Hebcal's listing for Pesach 2027 (15 to 22 Nisan 5787) runs Erev Pesach on April 21, the first two days of yom tov on April 22 and 23, Chol HaMoed from April 24 to 27, and the closing yom tov pair on April 28 and 29, ending at nightfall on April 29 outside Israel. In Israel the holiday ends a day earlier, at nightfall on April 28, which matters if your group is splitting time between the two. Hebcal gives sundown and nightfall in words rather than Miami clock times, so this page prints no candle lighting time; your seder hosts and synagogue will publish local times as the holiday nears. Eight nights is a long hotel stay at spring rates. Book it like one.
Where to stay: the walking neighborhoods
Bal Harbour and Surfside, at the north end of the barrier island, are the established Passover base: a dense run of synagogues and kosher shopping inside a compact, walkable strip, with the beach across Collins Avenue. The neighborhood guide for Bal Harbour and Surfside maps the area. Two property notes from the hotels' own pages and this site's hotel coverage: the St. Regis Bal Harbour and Acqualina anchor the luxury end of the strip, and the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour is closed for renovation with a February 2027 reopening stated on the hotel's own site, so it should be trading again by Passover; confirm Passover week rates on the hotel's site before you count on it. Miami Beach proper, from mid beach down through the hotel strip, is the wider choice, with more rooms at more prices and longer walks to any given synagogue. For many families that's the right trade, made knowingly.

Seders: use the locator, not a list
Community seders in Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, and Surfside are listed each year through Chabad and local synagogue pages, and the listings change every year. Chabad's seder locator is already headed for Passover 2027 and is updated several times a day as hosts post: find a Passover seder near you at chabad.org. Use it in early 2027, when the Miami listings fill in, and book seats as soon as your seder is listed; the public seders with the most convenient locations fill first. This page links the locator rather than printing a seder list because a printed list would be stale before the holiday arrives.
Eating during the week: the honest status
Here is the part most guides fake. As of this page's check on November 9, 2026, no Miami kosher restaurant had published its Passover 2027 status on its own site: not which places will serve a kosher for Passover menu, and not which will close for the holiday. Both patterns are normal in this market. Plenty of year round kosher kitchens close for Pesach, and the ones that open for it cook a separate kosher for Passover menu. Naming either group today would be a guess dressed as a guide. The working plan: use the restaurant guides to build your year round kosher shortlist for the Chol HaMoed days and the days around the holiday, then check each restaurant's own site or phone line in March 2027 for its Passover status, and reserve the open ones early. Grocery runs for a rental kitchen follow the same rule, with the Surfside and Miami Beach kosher markets posting holiday hours as the week approaches. Hotel Passover programs, the full board packages with seders and programming run as a single product, exist in this market every year and change operators often. No program for 2027 was confirmed on a hotel's own site at this check, so this page names none. When programs announce, they announce through the hotels and the operators together, and that's the listing to book from.
The holiday sits inside a busy spring. The Hanukkah guide covers the winter end of the same planning pattern, and the April month coverage in the blog carries the rest of that month's calendar.
The middle days are for sightseeing
Chol HaMoed, April 24 to 27, is when a Passover trip becomes a Miami trip. The seders are done, the closing yom tov pair hasn't started, and the whole city is open to you. Families split those days between the beach and the big outdoor sights: the Zoo Miami guide covers the county zoo's layout and ticket logic, and the Shark Valley or airboat comparison settles the Everglades day in one read. Book those days loosely. After two nights of seder structure, nobody in your group wants a timed ticket before ten.
Sources and check dates
Passover dates, the yom tov and Chol HaMoed pattern, and the Israel difference are from Hebcal's Pesach 2027 listing. The seder locator is Chabad's own directory. The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour reopening is from ritzcarlton.com. The restaurant and hotel program status is reported exactly as found on November 9, 2026: announced nowhere on the properties' own sites yet, with a March 2027 recheck on this page's refresh list.
