When it comes to discovering new brands and having a memorable moment, nothing beats a  great in-store experience, and that’s what Faena Bazaar aims to offer. Multiple local specialty stores has been brought together to create a distinct shops in shops experience, together with a kaleidoscope of brands from across the globe. The concept behind being to create a strong sense of community while staying connected to the world. 

Featured Designer: René Caovilla

Italian shoe brand René Caovilla has been fusing craftsmanship and couture with beauty and proportion for over three generations. Designer Eduardo Caovilla continues his family’s legacy with timeless collections using the same Venetian artistry.

His designs are often found gracing the red carpet on the stars like Rihanna, Gal Gadot and Bella Hadid. While Caovilla is inspired by the beautiful, determined and hardworking women who don his luxury footwear, he never designs a shoe with a particular muse in mind. “I strive to create versatile styles that can adapt to every woman who wants to feel unique.”

Like his father and grandfather before him, Caovilla employs expert artisans to hand stitch and embellish each pair of shoes, which takes an average of 48 hours to fashion from scratch. Rows of sandals, sneakers and espadrilles sparkle like bejeweled sculptures on the shelves of the famous atelier. Caovilla looked to the beauty of nature to create the 2020 spring/summer collection, which can be shopped at the Faena Bazaar. “We used florals,  colors and braids to create a perfect mix of glamour and refinement for a modern woman with an eye for detail,” he said.

The new Trisabrita is a must-have. The feminine evening sandal comes in classic black and rose red with braided ankle straps and sinuous lines perfectly suited for cocktails with friends or a romantic dinner. For something more whimsical there’s the Cinderella: a brand-new sling-back style adorned with lamé lace and geometric-cut crystals. The collection also features a new kitten heel thong and René Caovilla’s beloved Cleo sandal that appears season after season “without ever losing its elegance or sensuality.” In the delicate Diana flat, practicality meets sophistication, making it an everyday staple and a best seller. “I’ve always aimed to create all-time iconic styles,” he explains. “This is one of our main goals as a historic maison.”

Where Fire and Flavor Ignite

"What makes Los Fuegos truly extraordinary is our commitment to the ancient art of cooking with fire,” explained Yassine Belkady, the restaurant’s manager. “We use no electricity whatsoever—just fire, wood ovens, and tradition” Everything has that distinctive char, those bold, nearly burnt flavors that taste almost primal. “When you dine here, you can literally smell the wood and rosemary in the air,” he added. The restaurant’s setting matches its culinary panache. By day, the veranda transforms into an airy ambience when its retractable roof opens to Miami’s brilliant skies. Guests enjoy lunch while overlooking the property’s stunning pool, creating what Belkady called “a completely different experience than any other hotel or restaurant in Miami.”

Beneath the Tree of Life

Mornings here unfold slowly while guests sip on fresh-pressed juices—like the South Beach, a tropical elixir of coconut water, local citrus, mango, and strawberry, or a vitamin-rich Green Juice packed with spinach, kale, ginger, cucumber, celery and green apple. “The tranquility makes it really special,” noted Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife. “It’s a place where guests can grab a coffee, a light bite and relax or catch up on some emails.” A menu of delicious appetizers is great for snacking throughout the day, including crispy artichokes with sesame yogurt and sourdough breadcrumbs; prime rib empanadas with llajua sauce; and a vegan option of steamed veggie rice with sweet potato and broccoli. Come golden hour, the energy shifts. On weekends from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, resident DJs set the mood as the bar transitions into a laidback sundowner haunt. The CopaCabana cocktail, a tropical indulgence of banana and apricot liqueur, coconut cream, allspice, and Bulleit Rye, is a guest favorite. “People order it because it’s served in a Faena-branded coconut, but it’s the taste that makes them request another one,” said Rodriguez.
