FAENA MIAMI BEACH

DECADE at THE TOP For the fourth consecutive year, Condé Nast Traveler readers have named Faena Miami Beach the #1 hotel in Miami, continuing an extraordinary legacy that has kept Faena at the very top of the city’s rankings for nearly a decade.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE TONY KELLY

To be chosen once is an honor. To be chosen again and again tells a deeper story. Since opening, Faena Miami Beach has never ranked below the top two hotels in Miami in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Few accolades could speak more clearly to the enduring connection between Faena and the guests who return year after year. That connection began with a vision that reached far beyond the walls of a hotel. When the Faena District opened a decade ago, it brought a new cultural heartbeat to Miami Beach, creating a world in which art, architecture,

performance, food and healing became part of a shared experience. The District became a gathering place, not only for travelers, but for the community that has grown around it. A decade later, Faena continues to evolve without losing the spirit that made it different from the beginning: theatrical yet deeply personal, fantastical yet warm, with a sense of generosity and celebration that runs through every experience. The Readers’ Choice Awards are ultimately just that: a choice made by travelers themselves. And year after year, they continue to choose Faena.

ARTWORK BY ANDRÉS REISINGER

ART WEEK CULTURE MAGINED Every December, Miami becomes a meeting place for artists, ideas, and people from around the world. This year, Faena Art invites everyone to experience Miami Art Week through a new series of site-specific commissions unfolding across the Faena District from December 1–6, 2026. True to its mission, Faena Art brings free and open-to-the-public art to the community, creating encounters that are playful, thoughtful, participatory, and accessible to all. Through experimental commissions, emerging voices, and artists pushing the boundaries of their practices, Faena Art transforms the District into a living space for discovery; where art can be encountered in public spaces where people gather, move, dance, think, and connect. This year’s monumental site-specific commission by Christopher Joshua Benton, “A Lore Supreme” brings together multiple communites of creatives to collaborate on an open air dance floor on the beach. In his practice, Benton explores how ideas of home, belonging and identity travel across communities. His work brings

together artists, architects, scientists, academics, and everyday participants to imagine alternative ways of living and new forms of collective knowledge. His practice spans installation, public space, research, and social collaboration, with projects presented internationally from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to Venice and Tokyo. Italian artist Marinella Senatore returns to Faena with her powerful vision of art as a collective act. Working across light, textiles, drawing, film, and large-scale participatory projects, Senatore has spent more than two decades creating spaces where communities become authors, performers, and collaborators. This year presenting “An Expanded Baroque Crown” a luminary scultpture drawing on instpiration from the Baroque pageants and street festivals of Italy, Senatore transforms the architechture into a luminois ceremonial space. From monumental gestures to intimate encounters, these commissions invite Miami to become part of the artwork itself. Come interact, participate, discover, and experience Miami Art Week differently across the Faena District.

TIME CAPSULE A look back at the artists, ideas, performances, and unexpected encounters that have transformed the Faena District into a living part of Miami Beach’s cultural life, bringing art into the shared spaces of the city and creating moments that remain part of its collective memory.

FAENA ISLAND THE RED SEA

RED SEA THROUGH OUR EYES A NEW CHAPTER IN THE FAENA DREAM

We dream in islands. An island is a sanctuary. A place outside the tick of the world, where time softens, the senses awaken, and we can return to our truest selves. Surrounded by sea, light, and sky, it is a place to escape, to gather, to heal, and to dream. From the very beginning, Faena has been about creating these places: immersive worlds where hospitality, art, culture, wellness, and living come together to create a heightened sense of being. From Buenos Aires to Miami, from New York to the Red Sea, our journey has always been guided by the same belief—that

life can be imagined differently, and that beauty has the power to bring us closer to one another and to ourselves. Now, we venture from the red rose to the Red Sea. On Shura Island, a new chapter of the Faena story takes shape. Here, surrounded by coral, mangroves, white-sand beaches, and the infinite blue, we have found a landscape that feels both ancient and entirely new. A place where nature becomes architecture, where the inside flows into the outside, and where art and culture become part of the rhythm of everyday life. At its heart, beneath the shade of a centuries-old olive tree, is a place to pause. The Tree

of Life becomes our compass: a reminder of renewal, connection, and the cyclical nature of existence. Here, wellness is not simply something we experience, but a way of being—an invitation to reconnect body and soul, to shed old ways and begin again. The Red Sea is a place of myth, pilgrimage, exchange, and transformation. For centuries, its waters have connected cultures and carried stories across the world. We come as respectful guests, bringing our spirit, our beauty, and our dreams. We are not simply discovering an island. We are redrawing the world.

AN ISLAND LIKE NO OTHER FAENA ISLAND THE RED SEA

Faena Island The Red Sea to Open in Winter 2026/2027

Opening this winter, Faena Island The Red Sea marks the debut of the world’s first Faena Island—a new chapter in the brand’s global universe of art, culture, hospitality, and wellness, conceived in collaboration with renowned architect Norman Foster. Set within The Red Sea, one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations, Faena Island introduces a new expression of the Faena world within one of the planet’s most remarkable natural environments. Surrounded by pristine coral reefs, untouched islands, white-sand beaches, and vast desert landscapes, the island brings together the extraordinary beauty of its setting with Faena’s distinctive approach to hospitality, culture, and living. Here, nature is not simply a backdrop, but an

essential part of the experience. Conceived through the singular vision of Faena in collaboration with Sir Norman Foster of Foster+Partners and Jouin Manku Studio, Faena Island brings together all-suite accommodations and private villas with a world of art, culture, wellness, gastronomy, and discovery. At its heart is Tierra Santa Healing House, Faena’s transformative wellness concept, alongside exceptional dining, immersive cultural programming, and extraordinary marine experiences. Faena has always imagined its destinations as more than hotels. Across its worlds, architecture, hospitality, art, wellness, gastronomy, and nature come together as living cultural ecosystems—places where creativity and community shape every experience and where a profound sense

of place emerges naturally. Faena Island extends this philosophy into the Red Sea, inviting guests to explore one of the world’s most pristine marine environments while experiencing the unmistakable spirit of Faena. From encounters with the sea and surrounding landscape to spaces designed for gathering, cultural exchange, restoration, and discovery, every element has been conceived to create meaningful connections between people and place. More than a resort, Faena Island is a cultural destination where the singular beauty of the Red Sea meets the singular vision of Faena. An island for discovery. For restoration. For connection. And for experiencing the world from somewhere entirely new. FOLLOW US @FaenaTheRedSea

FAENA NEW YORK

BEST NEW HOTEL IN THE WORLD Less than a year after opening, Faena New York has captured one of global travel’s highest honors, marking an extraordinary arrival in Manhattan.

In its first year, Faena New York is already making its mark. Best New Hotel at the 2026 Virtuoso Global Awards. #2 in Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards. Its first MICHELIN Key. An extraordinary welcome for Faena’s newest chapter. Arriving in New York was never about reinventing a city that has long defined culture. It was about becoming part of its story, honoring its glamour and creative energy while adding a spirit unmistakably our own.

Along the High Line, that spirit is alive. The grand Cathedral welcomes guests into the world of Faena. The Living Room welcomes entertainment’s finest and celebrates the return of the dance floor. La Boca gathers people around fire and table, while Tierra Santa brings the soul and healing traditions of South America to a vast urban sanctuary. A place to eat, dance, heal, meet, celebrate and belong.

From the Pampas to Patagonia, the ancient art of cooking with fire burns at the heart of Faena’s epicurean spirit. There are fires that cook, and fires that awaken something within us. There is something timeless about gathering around a fire. For generations, across the Pampas, Patagonia, and the vineyards of Argentina, fire has been a gathering place; a source of nourishment, celebration, memory, and connection. Meat slowly transforming over embers, bread emerging from clay ovens, wine shared beneath an open sky: these are rituals passed from one generation to the next, carried by the hands of those who know that the best meals are never simply about food. At Faena, we keep those flames alive.

LOS FUEGOS, FAENA MIAMI BEACH

Our epicurean spirit draws from the landscapes, flavors, and traditions of Argentina and South America, bringing the soul of the countryside into three distinct culinary worlds. Along the way, we collaborate with masters of the fire, including legendary Argentine grillmaster Francis Mallmann, whose elemental approach to cooking has helped carry the ancient art of the asado into the world. In Miami, Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann celebrates the theater of live-fire cooking. Beneath its signature dome of meats, Chef Sebastian Benitez brings together local ingredients, wood-fired empanadas, hanging tomahawk steak, whole fish, and the

unmistakable spirit of the Argentine parrilla. On Sundays, Parrilladas turn lunch into a ritual reminiscent of the great estancias of the pampas, where generous cuts, wine, conversation, and time are shared around the table. In Buenos Aires, El Mercado evokes the warmth of legendary cantinas and European open-air markets. Alfresco dining unfolds beneath centuries-old trees, beside wood fires and traditional clay ovens. Chef Emiliano Yulita draws from recipes of a lifetime, seasonal produce, Aberdeen Angus, and the deep culinary heritage of Argentina. In New York, La Boca by Francis Mallmann brings the restless soul of

Buenos Aires to Manhattan, blending Spanish, Italian, and Patagonian influences. Above the richly textured dining room, the murals of Argentine pop artist Edgardo Giménez transform the Salon de las Monas into a vivid celebration of color, music, and imagination. Three cities. One elemental language. Fire becomes flavor. Tradition becomes celebration. And every table becomes a place to light the flames of passion.

FAENA BUENOS AIRES

WHERE ALL THE MAGIC BEGAN In Buenos Aires, an abandoned corner of the city became the birthplace of the Faena universe; a radical vision where architecture, art, culture and life would come together to create a new reality.

Before Miami Beach and New York, before Faena became a universe stretching across cities and continents, there was Buenos Aires. And there was a dream. At the turn of the millennium, Puerto Madero was still emerging from its industrial past. Among its forgotten warehouses stood El Porteño, a monumental red-brick grain silo built in 1902, abandoned for decades and seemingly frozen in another time. Where others saw ruins, Alan Faena saw possibility: a place where the past could be transformed into the future, and where an entire neighborhood could be reborn through culture, beauty and imagination.

PUERTO MADERO, 1897

The first great transformation was Faena Hotel. Conceived in collaboration with Philippe Starck, the former granary became something far greater than a hotel: a theatrical world rooted unmistakably in Buenos Aires. La Catedral, El Mercado, Bistro Sur, El Cabaret, the Spa and La Cava created a journey through Argentine memory and fantasy—tango and fileteado artworks, red velvet and crystal, gardens and ritual. When its doors opened in 2004, the building became the beating heart of a new district. Then the universe began to expand. La Porteña I, followed by La Porteña II, brought the Faena philosophy

into residential life, transforming the surrounding streets one building, one home and one tree at a time. Nearby, another relic of Argentina’s golden industrial age was waiting. The 1908 Los Molinos flour mill was resurrected rather than erased, becoming both residences and the home of the Faena Art Center. Opening in 2011, the Art Center transformed the former mill into a monumental laboratory for contemporary culture; a place conceived to commission the impossible and invite artists to create beyond conventional boundaries. The district’s architectural story reached another dimension with The Aleph Residences, created with Norman

Foster and Foster+Partners. Inspired by Buenos Aires’ traditional casa chorizo and named after Jorge Luis Borges’ vision of a point containing all other points, The Aleph joined local memory with radical modernity. Completed in 2012, it received the prestigious RIBA Award for Best Project in Latin America the following year. Together, these buildings became more than architecture. They became a living constellation—hospitality, residences, art and public life woven into one cultural landscape. This was Faena District Buenos Aires. This was the first universe. This is where all the magic began.

MOLINOS BUILDING, 2001

From Buenos Aires to Miami Beach, New York and beyond, Tierra Santa carries a philosophy born in the South, bringing ancestral healing traditions into the rhythm of modern life.

You are here in the perfect present, A path forged from a lifetime of learning, watching, trusting, hands in the earth, eyes on the skies a cosmos of knowledge waiting For us to open ourselves To its totality, its light. We learned from attuning our souls, to the wisdom of the ocean, the soil, the stars, expanding our minds enriching our bodies teaching us the gift of transformation, the power of the instant the message found in the silence. We discovered a sanctuary by the sea, at one with seasons, the sun and the tides, searching for renewal in the infinite cycles of nature. The rose taught us That beauty is ephemeral. Petal by petal, it revealed patience, devotion, and harmony, within it, our universe revealed itself. Soon people came to Tierra Santa to gather, to celebrate, to heal. There we learned a new way of being, an interconnectedness that exists beyond a single time and place. Carried upon the winds of the South, this feeling continued its journey, and became an offering to the world. Though the landscapes may change, The lesson is the same, a gift as pure As a simple seed, growing and expanding.

TIERRA SANTA: A WORLD of HEALING This is the essence of Tierra Santa.

Healing has always been part of the Faena story. Not as an escape from life, but as a way of returning to it more fully. Tierra Santa was born from South American traditions that understand wellbeing as something both physical and spiritual. Ancient rituals live alongside contemporary therapies; water, heat, touch, movement and nature become pathways back to ourselves. At its heart is a belief in transformation, and in creating the space to slow down enough to feel it. That spirit travels with Faena. From Buenos Aires and Miami Beach to the newly opened Tierra Santa in New York, each Healing House takes on the character of its surroundings while carrying the same soul. The spaces may change, but the intention remains: to create sanctuaries that feel generous, human and alive. In New York, Tierra Santa unfolds across 17,000 square feet, bringing its South American roots into conversation with the energy of the city. And as the Faena world continues to grow, Tierra Santa grows with it, carrying these traditions into new destinations and new cultures. The landscape may change, but the essence of Tierra Santa remains.

WHAT COMES from the HEART Alan Faena’s alchemy of creation, in a newly expanded edition from Rizzoli, available at all major retailers and leading online booksellers worldwide.

This festive season, a story that began with a dream returns in a new and expanded edition. What Comes from the Heart: Alchemy and Creation, written by Alan Faena and published by Rizzoli, traces the extraordinary journey of an Argentine visionary whose imagination has transformed the worlds of fashion, hospitality, art, design, and culture. From his childhood in 1960s Argentina to the creation of the Faena Cultural Districts in Buenos Aires, New York and Miami, the book reveals the ideas, encounters, and creative collaborations that shaped a singular way of imagining place. Along the way, artists and creators including Damien Hirst, Baz Luhrmann, and Philippe

Starck became part of a vision in which fantasy and reality, art and everyday life, constantly intersect. This newly expanded edition brings the story into the present, with new chapters exploring Faena Miami Beach and Faena New York, extending the vision into a new city and a new generation of cultural experiences. Richly illustrated and deeply personal, What Comes from the Heart is more than a memoir. It is a journey through the imagination behind Faena; and a reminder that the most transformative worlds often begin with something simple: an idea, a dream, a desire to create. Because everything we build begins with what comes from the heart.

HORIZONTAL ARCHITECTURE A Collection of Intimate Ref lections BY ALAN FAENA

REALITY With his new book, Horizontal Architecture, Alan Faena shares with the world the guiding principles that have shaped his own journey and the urban marvels he’s created.

For me, life is an immense present moving in silence. Reality is the instant within that movement that accompanies the velocity of being. We are the ones responsible for ensuring that our present reaches its utmost strength. Being the architects of our reality’s creation allows us to own each present moment. Our life is the result of the realities we have constructed for ourselves, and if they are aligned with our being, they will reflect our maximum potential. A reality is created through freedom of choice. The art of choosing allows us to decide who we are at every instant. Creating a path aligned with our potential is not possible without owning our decisions. It is a daily dance, with successes and mistakes. It’s just as important to create a reality as it is to know how to accept and be responsible for that creation and that present, together with its direction and the weight it carries. If we can’t live within the reality we have created for ourselves, we will not be able to sustain it. The key lies in how we build our being so that we can feel at ease with ourselves and live up to our creations. From there, we can begin the conquest of what once seemed unattainable.

To pave our way and construct our architecture of being, every choice must be made from the heart, the gateway to totality. We have to trust that the right answers and decisions are already within us. That trust in our heart leads us to choose the right steps and helps create a framework in which we will feel safer. Finding that peace with ourselves makes us owners of our creation and gives vision to the movement that allows us to flow. We are responsible for creating the attitude with which we will experience our journey. Small beginnings are what make the path to greatness sustainable. To expand into this immense present, we need to map our horizontal architecture and discover who we are and what we can rely on in each and every moment. If we can own our reality and embrace our present in its totality, we will be able to surrender and expand our soul, opening the door to the greatest possible connection with each present, with our being, and with Creation.

Faena Residences Miami River unveils its penthouse collection

At Faena, a residence is never simply a place to live. It is a way of inhabiting a world. At Faena Residences Miami, that vision reaches its highest expression with the unveiling of a $250 million collection of penthouses, Sky Villas, and Sky Lofts across the uppermost levels of the development’s two sculptural towers. The collection is led by a $39.5 million Upper Penthouse Residence spanning two levels and more than 15,000 square feet, including expansive interiors and nearly 7,000 square feet of terraces. At its summit, a private rooftop sanctuary brings together a pool, open-air dining, lounge spaces, and wellness areas, all framed by sweeping views of the Miami River, Biscayne Bay, and the city beyond. The announcement follows the recordbreaking sale of the other Upper Penthouse for $30 million in August 2026—the largest residential sale ever recorded on the Miami River. At the heart of the residences is Faena Rose, a 45,000-square-foot cultural and community center suspended between the two towers. Conceived as a place of connection and belonging, it brings the creative energy, hospitality, wellness, and programming that define Faena into the everyday lives of its residents. “Our singular vision has always been to create places that elevate the way we live, bringing joy, inspiration and meaning into everyday life,” says Alan Faena. “Faena Rose creates a place of connection and belonging, shaping a way of living imagined through the unmistakable lens of Faena.” Designed by Faena Design Studio in collaboration with Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, the residences transform private living into an experience of movement between retreat and gathering—extending Faena’s vision of Miami as a place where architecture, culture, wellness, hospitality, and community converge. A new vertical district rises above the Miami River, where living becomes part of the Faena world.

Following a record-breaking sale, a $39.5 million Upper Penthouse Residence rises above the Miami River, offering a new expression of life shaped by architecture, culture, hospitality, and connection.

FAENA ROSE

THE ART of GATHERING

From the very beginning, the Faena mission has been devoted to bringing people of like minds into the same room, the same universe, to enter the current of meaningful connection. Think of Faena as a manifestation as much as a destination, an ever-growing community who believes culture can push boundaries, a conversation can enrich the soul, and human interaction has the magic to change the world.

For Faena Rose Membership Inquiries: membership@faenarose.com www.faenamedia.com

Founded in 2016, Faena Rose concentrates that objective on an intimate scale, offering a forum for free expression, philosophical transformation, and for those endlessly curious and open to new ideas. Faena Rose is a society of searchers, free-thinkers and creative-doers. It is a place outside of time, rife with authentic experiences, rare encounters and unexpected sensations. We are a community, a tribe, a kinship based on camaraderie and growth. To belong is to participate in the poetry of living, the art of friendship, and the privilege of discovery. This is the beating heart of Faena Rose. At its essence, Faena Rose is a patronbased cultural organization rooted in the principles of cultural enrichment, community, patronage, and access. Through a robust, year-round calendar of enriching and thought-provoking programming, Faena Rose brings its members into direct dialogue with some of the world’s most compelling artists, thinkers, innovators, and cultural luminaries. From intimate conversations and private film screenings to artist studio visits, live performances, culinary experiences, master classes, and cultural excursions, each encounter is thoughtfully conceived to inspire curiosity, broaden perspectives, and create lasting memories. Set in elevated environments where the distance between audience and talent disappears and the extraordinary becomes personal, these experiences offer a frontrow seat to the ideas, individuals, and cultural movements shaping our world. Equally important is the community itself. Bringing together a dynamic cross-section of creatives, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and philanthropists, Faena Rose fosters authentic relationships that transcend professions, backgrounds, and geographies. Through shared experiences and thoughtful introductions, relationships develop organically, giving rise to enduring friendships and a genuine sense of belonging. Faena Rose is best understood by what happens when it gathers. Two recent cultural experiences offer a closer look…

Faena Rose Performance:

Faena Rose Conversation:

Patricia Delgado, Emily Estefan,

Outsmart Everyone with

and Miami City Ballet

Andrew Bustamante

Rose Patrons stepped inside the creative process with an intimate first look at Tony Award-winning choreographer Patricia Delgado’s new commission for Miami City Ballet (MCB), ahead of its world premiere. On the Faena Theater stage, in MCB’s first-ever performance for Faena Rose, dancers performed excerpts of the new work while Delgado coached them in real time, then asked them to take it again. Surprise guest Emily Estefan, the Grammy-nominated musician and composer whose original music provides the score, performed live alongside the dancers. Between pieces, Delgado, Estefan, and MCB Artistic Director Gonzalo Garcia spoke about the music, movement, and personal histories behind a ballet made in Miami, for Miami. It was a hometown collaboration between two Miami natives and a full-circle homecoming for Delgado, a former MCB principal dancer returning as choreographer. The work brings together the classical traditions that shaped her career with the Latin and Afro-Caribbean rhythms of her childhood, in a celebration of family, freedom, and community across generations.

What if you could learn to see the world the way a CIA operative does? Former CIA covert intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante joined Rose patrons in the Faena Forum for a revealing conversation about the psychology, tradecraft, and human intelligence skills used in espionage, and how they apply to business and everyday life. Drawing from his years inside the CIA and his new book, Outsmart Everyone: Spy Skills to Gain an Unfair Advantage in Work and Life, Bustamante argued that the real advantage today isn’t having more information; it’s knowing what to notice, whom to trust, what questions to ask, and what everyone else is missing. In this insightful conversation, moderated by Matt Haggman, Bustamante unpacked how intelligence officers learn to read people, detect deception and hidden agendas, build networks, influence others, negotiate under pressure, and separate signal from noise—sharing stories and lessons from his time undercover. The insights came with a keepsake: every attendee received a signed copy of the book.

The evening was as revealing in conversation as it was in performance, with Delgado, Estefan, and Garcia offering a candid look at what it takes to make something new. Some of our favorite insights from the night: “There’s all these rules in ballet. And I kind of wanted to break some of those rules.” “I want to create a sense of individuality, even though they’re all doing the same step.” —Patricia Delgado “I want you to imagine that you are creating these steps as you hear her sing this music.” —Patricia Delgado speaking to the dancers “When two organizations in Miami come together, dream together, build relationships, and make Miami an incredible cultural heart in the country, that is very, very important.” —Gonzalo Garcia

Between the stories and the strategy, a few moments especially stood out. Here are some of the takeaways Rose patrons are still talking about: “All the other skills, the shooting, the driving, the foreign language, they can teach that to anybody. But you cannot teach risk tolerance to a person who is not risk tolerant.” “What we’re there to specialize in is human intelligence collection. How do you basically apply human psychology to get people to share secrets they’re not supposed to share?” “When you go undercover, your number one vulnerability is stress. Stress makes you forget. Stress makes you make mistakes.” “If you want to create an alias identity, you want to create something that’s only five degrees different than who you really are.” —Andrew Bustamante
