“We’re working on a show that will transcend and transform your ordinary constructions of reality as you enter into the riveting multiverse of Allura,” says Anthony Magliano, founder and creative director of Quixotic. Critically acclaimed for their matchless ability to blend performance art, technology, original music, and expressive emotion, each one of their avant-garde neo-sensual revues is as distinct as it is alluring.

Musical artist Rocky Lanes will helm the show as the new master of ceremonies, while the company’s talented ensemble of performance artists will take you on an immersive journey to parallel universes where all possible versions of reality simultaneously exist at once.

In Allura, world-renowned choreographers, singers, dancers, musicians, and digital artists meld their mastery and mystique into one powerful visionary force that reaches into the magnetic embers of life’s most intangible essence.

Expect a mesmeric combination of holographic constructions of transfigural architecture, interactive data structures of motion capture, and body mapping that invites audiences to see past the fabric of what they know and look deeper into the divine matrices intrinsically encoded within the heartbeat of all creation.

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.
