Tropical ultra-luxury. Art Deco white, deep ocean blues, palm gold. The capital of American party energy, Miami Design District taste, and crypto wealth.
The 24/7 ultraclub in downtown's Park West that turned Miami into a dawn-til-dawn town — circus-style aerial performers, Grammy headliners and a legendary fleet of VIP tables. Notoriously one of the first large U.S. nightclubs to publicly accept Bitcoin and a host of other cryptocurrencies, with its own E11EVEN token and a condo tower carrying its name.
A four-generation Florida yachting house and one of the largest U.S. yacht brokerages, with a flagship Miami office at Island Gardens Deep Harbour. Full-service sales, charter and management for yachts from 24 metres to over 100 metres — the first call for Bahamas day trips, Art Basel week charters and Miami-to-Caribbean repositionings.
Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer's Michelin-starred Little River sleeper: a 30-seat strip-mall Italian with handmade pastas, one of the city's best wine lists by the glass, and a counter that books out a month in advance. Unpolished room, world-class cooking — the Miami chef community's favorite night off.
The Miami Beach outpost of Major Food Group's red-sauce phenomenon, where the spicy rigatoni vodka and tableside veal parmigiana are treated like heirlooms. Tuxedoed captains, vintage Sinatra on the system and a reservation book that fills the minute it opens — this is where South Beach's power crowd, athletes and founders hold court.
Simon Kim's Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse, the Miami sister to his NYC original, runs USDA Prime and Japanese Wagyu over smokeless tabletop grills while sommelier-led pairings swing from Burgundy to soju. The Butcher's Feast is the house ritual; the Design District room is clubby, loud, and impossible to get into on a Friday without planning ahead.
The original Surfside favorite for the South Florida kosher crowd — a polished dairy-and-fish kitchen crossing Japanese omakase with Mediterranean small plates. Under Kosher Miami (KM) supervision, with a second location in Aventura; consistently ranked among the top kosher restaurants in the United States.
A long-running U.S. exotic rental house with a serious Miami fleet: Ferrari SF90, Lamborghini Revuelto, Aston Martin DB12, McLaren GT, Rolls-Royce Dawn and Cullinan. Better-suited for corporate clients and event programs than the flashier influencer-shops, with transparent pricing and airport delivery.
The highest-grossing luxury mall per square foot in the United States — a koi-pond, palm-lined open-air enclave of Hermès, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Cartier, Rolex, Goyard and a Saks-Neiman Marcus flanking. The on-site concierge arranges after-hours private viewings, in-hotel deliveries and VIP tailoring, and hosts resort-season trunk shows.
The Miami franchise of Carey International, the long-standing global chauffeured ground-transport network used by Fortune 500 travel desks, private banks and embassies. Fleet of Mercedes S-Class, Sprinter VIP and SUV lead/follow options, with airport meet-and-greet at MIA, Opa-Locka and Fort Lauderdale Executive.
A South Florida private-aviation operator at Fort Lauderdale Executive offering helicopter charters over Biscayne Bay, Star Island, Key Biscayne and Stiltsville, plus same-day private-jet day trips to Bimini, Nassau and the Exumas. Frequently used for Art Basel, Grand Prix and Bahamas yacht-to-villa transfers.
Faena's 22,000-square-foot 'Healing House' marries Latin American shamanic rituals (Andean copal ceremonies, Amazonian plant rituals) with medical-grade treatments — cryo, IV, hyperbaric oxygen, Watsu pool — in a dramatic, plant-filled space. One of the most distinctive hotel spas in the United States, and a frequent Forbes 5-Star honoree.
Founded in Miami Beach, Villazzo pioneered the 'VillaHotel' concept: luxury oceanfront and Venetian-Island homes staffed like a five-star hotel, with butler, chef, housekeeping and concierge on call. Favored by family offices and celebrity clients who want a private Miami Beach compound with hotel-grade delivery, Art Basel and Grand Prix weeks included.
