Casa Faena

-Published 2021

A tropical oasis of lush greenery and bohemian brio, GITANO brings an air of Tulum to South Beach with delicious food, Latin-leaning libations, and spirited diversion. “We’re traveling the world and connecting a funloving healthy-living community,” said founder James Gardner.

“The rooftop is spectacular at sunset,” Gardner noted. “We call it the ‘Golden Hour’ because there’s a relaxed vibe, but it’s also fun.”

In striped Bedouin-style tipis, guests’ tipple mezcal elixirs like the piquant Jungle Fever, muddled with cilantro, chili, and lime. Other crowd favorites include the Gypsy Disco 75 cocktail, GITANO’s twist on the French 75 with rosé champagne, St- Germain, and Ély vodka served up with a fresh raspberry garnish. “And of course, there’s always our iconic GITANO Margarita, which brings a sense of familiarity and home, whether you’re with us in Tulum, New York, or Miami.”

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.
