When Life's a Beach


A cloudless sky. Ripples of sunshine glinting off a cyan sea. Live bossa nova vocals surfing the salty breeze. Faultless service to meet your every need. Welcome to Faena Beach.

Faena Beach

Make the most of summer lounging under Faena’s photogenic red-and-white striped parasols and plush cabanas set on 100,000 square feet of powder-sand paradise exclusive to hotel guests. Soak up the sunshine as butlers dote on you with a selection of magazines, sunscreen and glasses of chilled water to keep you cool. When you slip into the water for a swim, don’t be surprised to find your sunglasses spotlessly shined or a butler readily waiting to wash the sand off your feet to keep your lounger spotless and comfortable.

 

On the weekend, local bands liven up the afternoon with two-hour music sets right on the sand. Enjoy Brazilian beats and pop hits while sipping on signature cocktails and frozen elixirs like the summery Silver Lining, mixed with Grey Goose vodka, fresh-pressed grapefruit and lemon juice, muddled raspberry, a spring of rosemary, and a dash of soda. Or kick back with a Kicked-Up Margaritas and icy Froseladas featuring Absolut Elyx and Domaine Jarras Royal Rosé.

A day of fun in the sun can work up an appetite. Sate your craving with a poke bowl of Bigeye Tuna tossed with goma wakame, soybeans, Japanese pickles, and grilled shiitake or dig into a hearty wood-fired skirt steak slathered in chimichurri. When pastels paint the sky, keep the revelry going at Faena’s alfresco Sun Bar with craft spirits and live music under the boughs of a magnificent banyan tree.

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.
