At Faena Miami Beach, reinvention is an art form. Known for its unmistakable blend of glamour, culture, and creativity, the property has once again refreshed its offerings, introducing new culinary, cultural and wellness experiences that further solidify its place as one of the most imaginative destinations in the world.
This spring, Faena unveils a series of new additions to lure the global traveler. From an intimate farm-to-table restaurant with Latin flair to original stage productions that blur the line between cabaret and opera, here's everything new to discover at Faena.
The dining room at Campo
Tucked within the relaxed, Mediterranean-inspired Casa Faena, the newly opened Campo invites guests to gather around a table where heritage and innovation meet. Executive Chef Antonio Maldonado presents a menu rooted in American cuisine, but rich with Latin influences and seasonal ingredients. Think heirloom tomatoes with burrata and guava glaze, smoky grilled meats with chimichurri and a dessert menu that plays with dulce de leche in unexpected ways. The vibe is rustic-chic—like a countryside dinner party that wandered to the beach. Campo is warm, soulful and a welcome new addition to the Miami dining scene.
Known for its red velvet drama and cinematic glamour, Faena Theater is

entering a new chapter of original entertainment. This season brings a dynamic slate of performances, starting with Carmen, a fiery and modern interpretation of the classic opera. The show is bold, sensual, and unmistakably Faena—blending flamenco, burlesque, and contemporary dance into a captivating whole.
For something a little more soulful, RETRO is a Motown-inspired musical journey through the golden age of funk and rhythm & blues. The production weaves music, movement, and visual storytelling into a feel-good, high-energy night out.
And jazz lovers can look forward to the return of the Faena Jazz Series, now in full swing with monthly performances through June. With a rotating lineup of acclaimed jazz musicians from around the world, it's a must-do for culture seekers.
Alinea's famous Hot Potato, Cold Potato
In a rare culinary crossover, Faena is partnering with Chicago's legendary Alinea to celebrate the restaurant's 20th anniversary. From April 30 to May 25, Faena will host this once-in-a-lifetime collaboration, bringing Alinea's avant-garde tasting experience to Miami Beach. The residency promises a multisensory journey into the future of fine dining, with a menu created especially for the occasion. For food enthusiasts, this is a bucket-list event—and one of the most anticipated culinary moments of the year.
Faena's impact on Miami's art scene continues to flourish. On Tuesday, April 29, the Faena Art Gala returns with its annual fundraiser, this year themed Follow Your Rainbow. The event promises an immersive celebration of joy, color, and community, with artist Joel Mesler at the center of the evening's visual narrative. Expect bold installations, vibrant performances, and an atmosphere that transforms the ordinary into the otherworldly—all in support of Faena Art's mission to uplift local and international artists alike.
Just steps away, the Faena Art Project Room hosts its latest exhibit, Before Sunrise by Magnus Sodamin, on view through April. The show offers a luminous, meditative exploration of color, nature, and transcendence—yet another reminder that Faena's vision is as much about the ethereal as it is about the experiential.
