New this season is a whimsical bridal corner adorned with giant roses. Guests will find hand-embellished gowns from the House of Matching Colors, a couture brand founded by the store’s curator Paula Selby Avellaneda.

“The dresses embody fantasy and femininity with embroidered detailing and delicate materials like Silk Dupioni,” she explains.

Brides can also collaborate with Selby at Big Bang to design the dress of their dreams. “It’s a very couture experience, building the dress in the mirror using traditional draping techniques.” The bridal section also features ready-to-wear cotton and lace outfits from New York-based designer Maia Bergman. Don’t miss Parisian designer Iris Noble’s handcrafted leather bags made from alligator and lizard skins. “They’re the most high-end small leather accessories you can find,” says Selby.

For sportier fashions, shoppers can scope out T-shirts and hoodies from Alan Faena’s new clothing line Architecture of Being, as well as an Arsenale Sportswear pop-up tied to the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix in May featuring neon-yellow track suits with racecar print and sports bras and leggings for women.

The boutique also carries Miami-based House of Bo’s latest scents including ‘La Mar’ for women and ‘Espíritu’ for men. “The new fragrances are inspired by all types of romantic relationships,” notes Selby. Alongside Tierra Santa’s sacred oil collection, guests can pick up firming face serums from the sustainable beauty line Costa Brazil. Selby explains that “the ingredients used in the oils, serums, and creams are 100% naturally harvested in Brazil in a way that promotes preservation.”

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.
