Wynwood is getting one of its most iconic destinations back—completely reimagined. Mayami by Golden Era Hospitality Group, has officially reopened following a full architectural and design transformation, ushering in a new era for the beloved dining and nightlife landmark with a vision rooted in Mexican craftsmanship and elevated, immersive design.

Led by Casa Medina Design Studio, the 8,500-square-foot space now draws from Yucatecan haciendas and Oaxacan architecture, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Hand-troweled plaster walls, sculptural wood elements, burnished bronze accents, artisanal tilework, and softly lime-washed surfaces replace overt theming with material honesty and depth. Arched forms and monolithic volumes guide guests through a layered journey, while an open-air courtyard anchors the experience—blurring the line between indoors and out with warm, candlelit ambiance.

Originally opened in 2020, Mayami’s latest evolution unifies architecture, cuisine, and nightlife into a single, cohesive narrative that flows seamlessly from day to night. As evening unfolds, the venue transforms into a high-energy supper club, with nightly performances ranging from fire dancers to live artists and DJ-driven programming seven nights a week—now framed by a more refined and theatrical environment.

The relaunch introduces expanded culinary offerings alongside Mayami’s Latin-Mediterranean foundation, including sushi selections and seafood-forward Mediterranean dishes. Signature plates range from a 32-ounce prime tomahawk and short rib rigatoni with Wagyu ragù to panela salmon, truffle pasta, and short rib a la barbacoa served with heirloom tortillas. The cocktail program remains a centerpiece, led by bold house creations like the Mayami Old Fashioned and Mezcal Mule, complemented by weekday and Sunday happy hours and high-energy weekend brunch.

“This reopening represents the evolution of Mayami,” said founder Philippe Kalifa. “The new design enhances everything guests already love—bold flavors, theatrical programming, and Miami’s nightlife energy—while elevating the experience through thoughtful architecture and atmosphere.”
