     Give your feeds a glow-up with scroll-stopping moments, with suburban charm as the star of your grid, at Royal Oaks, a perfect mix of elegance and lush serenity in the heart of Miami Lakes.  

    Treat your followers (and secret lurkers!) to pops of bold flavors, endless sunshine, and picture-perfect energy, all just minutes from Royal Oaks, a suburban slice where community, elegance, and convenience merge to provide an unparalleled lifestyle. 

    A sought-after neighborhood of 1,200 single-family homes and vacant lots developed by the late Ray Lovell in the early 1980s, Miami Lakes' Royal Oaks features custom homes and generous parcels amidst a sense of sophistication and unparalleled family-friendly charm. 

    And while it's far beyond what you'd call a choice tourist destination, this coveted address photographs like a vacation, thanks to the beauty and nature, including top Instagrammable spots, that surround it!

     Step outside, and you'll stumble upon a playground of aesthetic treasures, from chic coffee spots to lush parks brimming with greenery, giving jet setters and selfie pros endless opportunities to capture Miami moments that practically edit themselves! 

     Here are the top five Instagrammable places near Royal Oaks. 

     1)   Royal Oaks Park  

     16500 NW 87th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33018 

    If you ever want to remind yourself about the unrivaled beauty of living in the 'burbs (in times when you forget just how lucky you are!), a leisurely jaunt to Royal Oaks Park is the answer!

    Here, you can set up an early morning or afternoon picnic on the emerald green grass, catching a glimpse of the sun waking to its glorious soft pinks, warm oranges, and pale yellows, or its farewell, painting the sky with fiery reds, deep oranges, and golden hues before dipping below the horizon — it's a lovely sight that deserves to be on your Instagram's "On This Day" feature!

    And since it's also a multi-purpose park with athletic fields, open playfield areas, a tot lot, trails, picnic pavilions, and on-site butterfly gardens, you can enjoy other fun activities while you're here!

    Imagine indulging in your favorite snacks as you watch your neighbors challenge each other in a friendly game of flag football, then strolling around the butterfly garden to marvel at tiny beauties and their delicate wings fluttering amidst vibrant blooms — a moment so serene and picture-perfect, destined to grace your social media feed with its story-worthy charm! 

    Magnifico!

     2) Miami Lakes Golf Club    

     7601 Miami Lakes Dr, Miami Lakes, FL 33014 

    Prepare to be struck speechless by the sheer beauty of a golf course as you set foot on the pristine bentgrass of Miami Lakes Golf Club, a slice of golfing paradise in Miami Lakes, just 7 minutes from Royal Oaks.

    Known as one of the top Championship Golf Courses in Miami, the Miami Lakes Golf Club, formerly Shula's Golf Course, offers golfers of all skill levels an unforgettable experience, from the meticulously designed course to the picture-perfect scenery, inviting you to play a round and just soaking in the views.

    Crafted by Bill Watts in 1962 and elevated to new heights in 1998 by acclaimed Golf Course Architect Kipp Schulties, Miami Lakes Golf Club is more than just a course but a 500-acre tree-shaded playground for golf lovers. 

    With 18 holes of Par 72 challenge, a fully stocked Golf Pro Shop, and The Bull Pen (the ultimate 19th hole hangout), this masterpiece is the perfect spot for a day of fun and a few swings of glory.

    The club is also part of the stunning Miami Lakes Hotel, a luxurious escape that's equally ridiculously Instagrammable, where you can spend a night of grandeur and relaxation just minutes from home!

    Between the serene water views, impeccably groomed Bermuda grass, and the overall charm of the place, the Miami Lakes Golf Club might just be your new favorite hangout — even if your swing could use a little work!

     3) Chela's Miami    

     15301 NW 67th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33014 

    Step into a world of bubblegum-pink benches, rustic wooden tables, tropical vibes, and walls bursting with funky art at Chela's Miami, a feast for your palates and Instagram stories, just 9 minutes from Royal Oaks.

    What started as a humble pop-up has become a neighborhood staple, blending the vibrant energy of Wynwood and Downtown Miami with a laid-back, local twist — Chela's Miami is where you come for the aesthetic, but stay because your taste buds are having the time of their lives.

    Here, you'll enjoy a rollercoaster of bold flavors and international culinary traditions, thanks to its menu of Latin American fare, including highlights like their signature tacos, loaded nachos, perfectly grilled fajitas, guacamole, and more, all infused with a crave-worthy mix of spice, zest, and comfort.

    But calling it a "restaurant" doesn't quite do it justice. 

    Chela's Miami is an experience — a tropical haven with smiling bartenders shaking up killer cocktails and dishes so good you'll be plotting your return before you've even finished, with every corner more Instagrammable than the last!

    And seriously — pink benches. 

    How much more convincing do you need?

     4) Garden Of The Arts  

     1850 W 76th St, Hialeah, FL 33014 

    Hialeah's arts and culture scene is on the rise, and if you're a sucker for vibrant murals, captivating sculptures, and some serious Instagram content, Garden of the Arts should be your next must-visit spot, just a 10-minute drive from Royal Oaks.

    This open-air museum is a masterpiece in itself, blending South Florida's lush greenery with the creative brilliance of local artists, from murals that tell stories and sculptures that spark curiosity to paved walkways lined with trees, flowering bushes, and all the tropical vibes you could ask for!

    Take a picturesque stroll along the trails, uncover hidden corners of artistry, or kick back on the grass as you drink in the sun-kissed ambiance!

    The Garden of the Arts also has an Amphitheater and stage, ready to host everything from community events to impromptu performances (or maybe just your latest TikTok creation).

    Art, history, exercise, and the perfect selfie backdrop — all in one place? It's a cultural jackpot, hands down!

    Oh, and the cherry on top? Entry is 100% FREE. 

    So grab your camera, strike a pose, and enjoy a colorful day without spending a dime.

     5) Vanilla Espresso French Cafe    

     16395 NW 67th Ave, Miami Lakes, FL 33014 

    Say bonjour to Vanilla Espresso French Café, a little slice of Paris where your taste buds and camera will have the time of their lives, just 10 minutes from Royal Oaks!

    An artisan French café with a treasure trove of sweet delights, Vanilla Espresso French Cafe boasts picture-perfect treats like golden, flaky croissants, pastel-colored macarons that could double as art, and show-stopping cakes that are almost too pretty to eat (but trust us, you can't resist digging in any way). 

    But wait, there's more to this dreamy café than just the desserts. 

    Inside, you'll find yourself transported to a cozy Parisian nook, complete with chic bistro tables, soft lighting, and a whimsical decor that mixes modern elegance with French charm, with gold accents, floral touches, and embellished walls that feel like you're in the heart of Montmartre. 

    Even the coffee cups look like they were made for close-ups!

    And speaking of coffee, Vanilla Espresso French Café is also known for creative brews that are as smooth as the vibe. 

    From velvety lattes to bold espressos topped with intricate latte art, every sip at Vanilla Espresso French Café is a moment to savor. 

    Feeling a bit more festive? Their evening menu even includes a splash of sophistication with cocktails perfect for winding down after a long day — or snapping one last story for the 'gram.

    Whether you're here for a solo treat, a date, or a full-on Parisian-themed photo shoot, Vanilla Espresso French Café is ready to make your sweet dreams come true. 

    Don't forget to tag your photos—this place is definitely "gram goals!"
