Hearts on Fire at Faena Theater


Spend a memorable night with your heart’s desire at a tantalizing showing of Samsara.

When the red velvet curtain rises on the beautiful Artemis and she dances her way towards transcendence, your excitement will swell with the rising crescendo of an electric violin while leather-clad aerial dancers whirl in tandem high above the crowd. Pulse-quickening vignettes are infused with elements of cirque nouveau, titillating costumes and dazzling projection mapping.

Mixologists will set your “Hearts on Fire” with specially-mixed tequila libations as the chef serves up melt-in-your-mount Malbec braised short rib and toothsome desserts with hints of dulce de leche and bourbon pecan. Or dine on chilled champagne and caviar between showstopping renditions of legendary rock ballads delivered by spirited starlets Yoli Mayor and Envee. Don’t be shy to share your love story when requested during the show—the most romantic tale of the evening will be gifted a lavish couple’s massage at Tierra Santa Healing House.

Samsara Cabaret shows on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. To stay up-to-date on all Faena events & happenings, follow us on Instagram (@Faena) and subscribe to our e-newsletter at www.faena.com/miami-beach.

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.
