Winter Polo Events Not to Miss

ASMALLWORLD

As winter approaches, the world of polo offers two extraordinary events with different flavours – as an ASMALLWORLD Member, you can enjoy exclusive experiences at both the Snow Polo World Cup in St. Moritz and the Beach Polo World Cup in Miami. So, whether you prefer the classic snowy landscapes of St. Moritz or the sun-drenched beaches of Miami, it’s up to you to choose.

Beach Polo World Cup, Miami

First out of the blocks, from November 15 to 17, is the Beach Polo World Cup, which transforms Miami Beach into a vibrant arena where eight elite international teams compete with more than 120 magnificent horses. Renowned as the largest and most prestigious beach polo competition globally, this event will be both athletic and elegant.

Book your VIP tickets with ASMALLWORLD for exclusive access to the shaded lounge areas overlooking the polo field. Here, you can enjoy gourmet catering and savour drinks from the full bar while enjoying game commentary and live music entertainment. The atmosphere is set to be thrilling, with matches scheduled throughout the day, culminating in exciting high-goal competitions.

Each day features multiple games, including a celebrity charity match on Saturday and an award presentation on Sunday that highlights the tournament’s most outstanding players and ponies. After the matches, unwind at the Après Polo events at The Setai, where mingling with players and esteemed guests adds to the glamour of the occasion. Miami’s stunning backdrop of turquoise waters and palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze, means there’s nothing quite like watching polo on Miami Beach.

Snow Polo World Cup, St. Moritz

Just a couple of months later, from 24 to 26 January 2025, the Snow Polo World Cup in St. Moritz beckons polo enthusiasts to experience the world’s only high-goal tournament played on snow. This prestigious event in 2025 marks its 40th anniversary and takes place on the frozen Lake St. Moritz, surrounded by the breathtaking snow-capped mountains of the Engadin Valley.

The tournament attracts approximately 27,800 visitors each year, but only 1,800 exclusive VIP passes are available for those wishing to indulge. As an ASMALLWORLD Member you can book to enjoy the VIP section with its luxurious lounge and dining hall right on the lake. Enjoy a seated buffet lunch complemented by spectacular views of both the polo matches and the majestic Alps. A grandstand with warm blankets ensures comfort as you enjoy champagne or a cosy hot drink while cheering for your favourite team.

Each day of competition includes multiple matches leading up to thrilling finals on Sunday. The atmosphere is both festive and sophisticated, with prize-giving ceremonies recognising outstanding players and ponies after each match. Beyond polo, social events abound in St. Moritz’s first-class hotels, offering guests an opportunity to network and celebrate in style.
