BIG BANG AT TIERRA SANTA HEALING HOUSE | FAENA

Paula Selby Avellaneda, founder and curator of Big Bang, recently added 11.11 / eleven eleven’s menswear to the shop’s exclusive fashion mix.

“There’s something very universal and ancient about this brand, but it’s also contemporary and relaxed,” she explains.

“They use beautiful materials, beautiful colors and have a really beautiful heritage of protecting the craftsmanship of the communities that sow and die their clothes.” For more than a decade, 11.11 / eleven eleven has partnered with rurally located artisans in India who work with ancestral techniques such as hand spinning, hand-loom weaving, handpainting, dyeing, and quilting. Their breathable cotton garments are handmade from indigenous cotton and dyed using native ingredients like tamarind, palm sugar, pomegranate skin, indigo and myrobalan flower petals. “I love their styling and fit,” says Selby. “Their clothes hit every note.”

Linen fabrics and a variety of colors are at the heart of Argentine brand, Felix. “Their linen collection is very vibrant and beachy,” Selby explains. “It has a summer spirit that’s classic but fun.” Guests can shop lightweight caftans and well-designed swim trunks that work seamlessly as beach attire and daywear.


Big Bang also stocks Le Mec (which translates from French as “the guy”), a high-end sportswear brand for men. “The brand sells online, but they have a pop-up with us,” says Selby. “We carry their very cool workout clothes and sports equipment from training gear to boxing gloves.”

Visionary Creatives - A In a rare and candid conversation, Alan Faena offered Rose Members an exclusive look into his visionary thinking and what lies ahead for the Faena brand.

Iconic design duo David and Sybil Yurman joined Faena Rose for an intimate conversation on inspiration, artistry, and enduring alchemy. The evening traced their journey from sculptors to cultural tastemakers, blending creative vision with timeless design.

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.
