Frequently Asked Questions

Resolve your doubts about The Kampong Miami | Coconut Grove Botanical Refuge

"Kampong" is a Malay word meaning "village" or "enclosure". David Fairchild chose this name to honor his expeditions in Southeast Asia and create a space that felt like a small botanical village in Miami.
Yes, due to its research and preservation nature, access is limited and a reservation is required through the National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) system for self-guided tours.
The Kampong is home to an unrivaled collection of exotic mangoes, lychees, jackfruit and the famous Sausage Tree (Kigelia Africana), as well as one of the rarest collections of palms in the United States.
The Kampong will be positioned as a "Refuge of Silence" for those visitors to the World Cup looking to escape the noise of the stadiums, offering a regenerative and educational tourism experience unique to the Grove.

The soul of this experience

The Kampong is the essence of Solarpunk applied to botanical heritage. For Space Journey, this site symbolizes the“Global Connection”: the legacy of a man who traveled the world to bring life and knowledge to Miami. It is a space of resistance against massive urbanization, a green lung that preserves not only exotic plants, but the philosophy that nature is our greatest library. Here, luxury is manifested in silence, the shade of ancient trees and the uninterrupted view of Biscayne Bay from a coral pier.

What will you find along the way?

Cross the limestone threshold and let the humidity of the tropics envelop you. Walk under the shadow of the gigantic Banyan Trees and discover the Tanzania Baobab, a colossus that seems taken from an African dream. Walk the paths that wind through exotic fruit trees from Asia and the Pacific, while the sound of peacocks and the wind in the palms creates a unique natural soundtrack. As you reach the water’s edge, the bay’s horizon opens before you from a historic pier that invites pure contemplation. It is an immersion in the “Green Utopia”, where time stops between aerial roots and flowers that only open at dusk.

Security level

Level: Secure (Restricted/Private). The garden is a private property managed by the National Tropical Botanical Garden. Access is controlled and requires prior reservation. It is recommended to bring biodegradable insect repellent and water, as the tropical microclimate can be hot and humid. The trails are well maintained, but caution should be taken around the exposed roots of the Banyan trees to avoid tripping. The environment is extremely calm and safe for solo travelers or small groups.

Accessibility and mobility

Grade: Silver. The main trails around the historic house and dock are flat and accessible. However, some deeper areas of the botanical garden have dirt or gravel paths that may present difficulties for wheelchairs. It is recommended to ask staff for assistance for specific accessible routes. Adapted toilets are available in the visitor centre.

Golden Spot Tips

Coral Pier. Located at the end of the small stone pier that overlooks Biscayne Bay. It is the point where the density of the tropical forest meets the openness of the ocean. The sea breeze and the view of Brickell’s distant skyline through the mangroves offer a visual and sensory contrast that summarizes the duality of Miami: untamed nature and urban ambition on the same plane.
