In Before Sunrise, Magnus Sodamin offers a mesmerizing tribute to Florida’s lush ecological wonders, drawing viewers into his profound connection with the Everglades and Florida Bay. Through vibrant palettes and textured strokes, his paintings capture the magic of sunrise, the ephemeral glow of twilight, and the vitality of life within these wetlands. Each piece reflects a deep reverence for the natural world, where water, wind, and wildlife coalesce into an enduring story of resilience and beauty. Sodamin’s works transcend mere landscapes; they are portals to the heart of Florida’s wilderness, evoking serenity and spiritual connection. Inspired by fleeting moments of light and color, his art celebrates the delicate harmony between nature and humanity. As he describes, “These paintings reflect my deep connection to Florida Bay and the vast wilderness of the Everglades... They are paintings of our Floridian home.” This exhibition is a vivid reminder of the intricate bond between art, environment, and the universal quest to honor nature’s grandeur.

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.
