Playboy has just announced that it will be moving their global headquarters to the penthouse at Rivani Miami Beach , where a $100 million transformation has birthed South Beach's first "Class X" office. Rendering of Rivani Miami Beach, Speakeasy The lifestyle brand has signed a penthouse lease at 1691 Michigan Avenue, where developer Robert Rivani has transformed a traditional office building into what he calls a "Class X" asset—complete with Omakase restaurant, speakeasy, world-class spa, and full-service concierge. Rendering of Rivani, Entrance The project sits adjacent to Lincoln Road and represents Rivani's latest disruption of conventional real estate categories. Rockwell Group designed the interiors to blur hospitality and office space, incorporating meditation rooms, living room-style meeting areas, and private event venues alongside a comprehensive wellness center. The building's amenities mirror those of a luxury hotel, from valet service to curated wellness programming. Rendering of Rivani, Lobby This headquarters relocation coincides with Rivani's corporate rebrand from Black Lion to RIVANI, a shift that reflects his expanding portfolio across South Florida. The developer controls nearly $200 million in prime assets, including Amara at Paraiso, the forthcoming GAIA, and Wynwood Jungle. Rendering of Rivani, Speakeasy Corridor His recent transactions have reset market benchmarks—the $28.2 million sale of Catch Miami Beach established a Florida record for a freestanding restaurant, while his $38.25 million all-cash deal for restaurant spaces at SLS Lux Brickell and Dua Miami Hotel ranks among 2025's largest hospitality transactions. Rendering of Rivani, Cafe Rivani Miami Beach positions itself as a new paradigm for commercial office buildings, blending five-star hospitality services and elevated design. Playboy's new lease signals strong market confidence in this hybrid model, with additional high-profile tenants expected to follow.

More than a fitness space, the WELLTHY Method is a modern wellness ecosystem built for women with ambition and full calendars. With community support and an inclusive tone at its heart, the program prioritizes consistency, confidence, and the belief that wellness should feel like a lifestyle—not a chore.

A lush wave of rainforest glamour is set to sweep into Miami this September as Amazónico, the Madrid-born dining concept known for its Amazon-inspired interiors and Latin American fusion menu, prepares to open its first U.S. location at 800 Brickell Avenue. Rendering of Amazónica Miami Founded in 2016 by husband-and-wife restaurateurs Sandro Silva and Marta Seco, Amazónico has captivated diners in Madrid, London, Dubai, and Monte-Carlo with a sensory-driven experience that blends bold flavors, immersive design, and a soundtrack the brand calls “elec-tropical.” Miami’s outpost will be the largest to date, spanning three stories inside a converted bank building, with a main dining room, a lively lounge featuring DJs and live performances, and a rooftop space designed to shift seamlessly from after-work gatherings to late-night energy.

Rolling hills, coastal ridges and dramatic Atlantic cliffs yield sweeping panoramas across two miles of white-sand beach and the tranquil turquoise of Winding Bay, while protected flats of the Sea of Abaco teem with marine life from sea turtles to world-class bonefish. Image of The Abaco Club Golf Course Central to the club’s ethos is a seamless blend of leisure and adventure: members tackle the Scottish-style links that rank as the # 1 course in The Bahamas, bonefish prime flats just minutes offshore, or dive into the famed “blue holes” that punctuate the island’s interior. On land, the historic settlement of Cherokee, the pastel-hued cottages of Hope Town and a growing calendar of family-focused events reinforce The Abaco Club’s commitment to effortless, inclusive island living Image of The Abaco Club Once defined by its nearly sold-out AvroKO-designed villas at The Cays , the club has now introduced The Green , a collection of turnkey, single-level, three-bedroom golf-front cottages with Restoration Hardware–curated interiors. Priced from $2.925 million and nestled along the 14th green of the award-winning course, these island-colonial homes feature sweeping fairway vistas, open-plan living and full-width porches that blend indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. Rendering of the new Winding Bay Club at The Abaco Club This fall, members will discover three headline amenities designed to elevate everyday island life. Along two miles of white-sand shoreline, the Winding Bay Club will debut a resort-style infinity pool, sand-set cocktail bar and an amenity-rich clubhouse complete with cinema, game room and an exclusive adults-only lounge. Rendering of The Green at The Abaco Club Adventure awaits both on and off the fairways. PGA icon Darren Clarke’s El Diablo putting course delivers a headline-worthy twist to golf, while the calm turquoise waters of Winding Bay invite e-foiling sessions. Members can join lobster-hunting excursions for the club’s signature Lobster Fest or explore Abaco’s famed “blue-hole” cave systems—often likened to Mt. Everest-style dives into underground caverns. Rendering of The Green at The Abaco Club The Abaco Club is developed and managed by Southworth, and members enjoy reciprocal privileges across all of Southworth’s award-winning private communities—ensuring that this reimagined Caribbean icon marks the first chapter in a global collection of luxury island retreats.

This milestone marks the brand’s 18th location nationwide and its ninth in Florida—joining East Orlando and Daytona Beach, and teeing up a third Orlando spot on I-Drive in late 2026.

Image of PopStroke Winter Garden BarTenders, PopStroke’s new family-friendly restaurant, overlooks the greens with both indoor and al fresco seating.

A rare collection of Harbour Homes anchors life at Marina Pointe , a landmark residential community in South Tampa’s Westshore Marina District. These seven multi‑level townhomes—each with private elevator access, flexible interiors, a front yard, and direct entry to a resort‑style amenity deck—offer the feel of a single‑family residence within a walkable, highly‑amenitized neighborhood. With more Harbour Homes set to debut alongside Tower II, this enclave represents one of the district’s most distinctive living opportunities. Rendering of Marina Pointe, Clear PH Surrounding Harbour Homes is the 52‑acre Westshore Marina District, master‑planned around everyday waterfront access. Along 1.5 miles of scenic trails, residents find public green spaces, boutique retail, and Tampa’s largest private deepwater marina, all set on Old Tampa Bay. At its center stands Marina Pointe , whose first tower has already sold out—highlighted by a $3.1 million penthouse—and whose second tower, launching construction in 2026, will introduce 151 new residences and expand the Harbour Homes offering. Residents step out to Marina Landings, a compact dining and retail village where local favorites like Cru Cellars and Duckweed Grocery bring neighborhood flavor. Four times a year, the Sunday Market activates the waterfront promenade with more than 70 vendors, live music, and gourmet bites. Rendering of Marina Pointe's Harbour Homes, Balcony Tower II’s residences range from roughly 1,100 to over 3,300 square feet, with pricing starting in the low $1 million and topping $4 million for select homes. Amenities echo the ease of a high‑end resort: yoga lawns, spa treatment rooms, a high‑tech golf simulator, guest suites for visiting friends and family, entertainment lounges, wellness spaces, and 24‑hour concierge service. Rendering of Marina Pointe, Clear PH Boat owners enjoy seamless access to the water via the district’s professionally managed, 13‑acre deepwater marina, one of the few in Tampa Bay that accommodates yachts up to 90 feet—complete with a dedicated dockmaster and around‑the‑clock security. Beyond the marina, Downtown Tampa, International Plaza, the airport, and the Westshore commercial corridor are all less than 15 minutes away—delivering true convenience without downtown density. Rendering of Marina Pointe, Clear PH As Tampa surged to become the top trending U.S. destination for summer 2025, thanks to its expanding waterfront neighborhoods and easy access to culture, parks and coastline, the Westshore Marina District stands out not as an exclusive development but as a layered, walkable community already delivering on that promise. With Harbour Homes leading the way, the focus is just as much on what’s here today as on what’s coming tomorrow. Learn more about Marina Pointe and The Marina Westshore District here.

Ezio’s Steakhouse , the first permanent restaurant from the founders of New York’s iconic Roberta’s, will open in late fall 2025 at 72 Park , a newly completed luxury condominium in North Beach. The acclaimed pop-up, co-founded by Brandon Hoy and Michelin-starred chef Carlo Mirarchi, first gained traction inside Roberta’s Bushwick location and will now occupy a 2,200-square-foot corner space at the base of the 22-story tower developed by Lefferts. Rendering of Ezio's Steak, 72 Park The concept honors Mirarchi’s father and blends authentic Italian hospitality with Miami’s contemporary edge. Ezio’s menu will spotlight house-made pastas, locally sourced seafood, and a dry-aged meat program, including standout dishes like 90-day dry-aged rib steak for two and whole-roasted John Dory. The bar program will offer seasonal cocktails and a robust wine list curated to complement the restaurant’s bold, ingredient-driven flavors. “We feel privileged to contribute to the energy and growth happening in North Beach,” said Mirarchi. “72 Park is the perfect location for Ezio’s first brick-and-mortar venture.” Lefferts founder Mendy Chudaitov added, “Their commitment to quality and creativity align perfectly with the 72 Park lifestyle.” Image of 72 Park Miami Beach The debut of Ezio’s adds to the growing culinary and cultural momentum in NoBe, where 72 Park —designed by Built Form with interiors and landscape by Urban Robots—became the first new luxury condo in over five years and the first in Miami Beach to allow short-term rentals. Nearly sold out, the LEED Gold-certified building features units starting in the $800,000s and marks the first of four planned Lefferts projects in the neighborhood. Hoy and Mirarchi are best known for shaping the New York dining scene with Roberta’s, which recently earned a spot on The New York Times’  list of the 22 Best Pizza Places in New York. Their East Village concept, Foul Witch, also landed on the Times’ 2024 list of the 100 Best Restaurants in NYC. With Ezio’s, the duo brings that same creative energy—and a taste of Bushwick's spirit—to Miami Beach.

OKU Hotels has officially opened OKU Andalusia , a 255-key retreat nestled between Sotogrande and San Roque along a quiet stretch of southern Spain’s coastline. Marking the brand’s first family-friendly destination, the new resort introduces OKU’s signature approach to slow living, contemporary design, and wellness in a secluded beachfront setting with views across the Mediterranean toward North Africa. Rendering of OKU Andalusia The resort’s architecture follows OKU’s signature low-rise aesthetic, designed to mirror the flow of the surrounding landscape with natural textures and open-air layouts. Accommodations include a mix of guest rooms, suites, and private pool retreats, along with a four-bedroom villa offering added privacy, complete with an ocean-facing terrace for extended gatherings or longer stays.  OKU Andalusia’s wellness program extends well beyond the spa. The resort’s 21,500-square-foot facility includes an indoor pool, thermal suite with steam room and sauna, meditation courtyard, and a state-of-the-art fitness studio. A series of treatment rooms support holistic therapies ranging from CBD-infused massages to targeted skin rituals. Outdoor wellness spaces include a yoga shala and a landscaped garden used for tincture-making and herbal workshops. Guests can also join curated sessions in sound healing, reiki, and energy alignment, or participate in hands-on kitchen garden experiences that center seasonal herbs and adaptogenic remedies. A dedicated sports club with tennis and padel courts further complements the broader wellness offering. For families, the resort’s supervised kids club provides a creative, play-based environment with daily programming tailored to various age groups. Dining at OKU Andalusia spans four distinct venues. Teyo, the resort’s signature restaurant, presents a fusion of Japanese, Asian, and South American flavors in a refined setting open to both guests and outside visitors. To Kima offers a relaxed poolside experience with an all-day menu of Mediterranean-inspired dishes accented by tropical and Asian influences—ideal for sharing from a sun lounger or terrace seat. The Terrace serves casual, seasonal fare throughout the day, while the adults-only Beach Club focuses on seafood-driven plates, cocktails, and sunset views. Together, the venues reflect OKU’s balance of global flavors, fresh ingredients, and regional sourcing. OKU Andalusia expands the group’s footprint across Europe while remaining closely aligned with the brand’s original vision: to create spaces that offer a refined yet grounded hospitality experience rooted in place. With the addition of its first Spanish resort—and its first family-friendly concept—the brand continues to evolve without losing sight of its core design philosophy.
