These three Miami member clubs uniquely pair luxury and creativity to cultivate their communities.
Soho Beach House: For the cool creative
Exchanging memberships for artwork by top Miami, national and international artists has assembled Soho Beach House’s notable 120+ piece contemporary art collection. It also engages the 1940s Art Deco heritage building and Cuba-inspired decor with a fresh local creative contingent seen lounging poolside and sipping cocktails at the Club bar and deck—relishing the no-phone-call policy.

Part of a global network, Miami’s Soho House boasts a unique beachy spirit. Blending community with exclusivity, casual connections are kindled during eclectic activities: gym workouts and spa treatments, film screenings and talks, dinners at decadent Northern Italian staple Cecconi’s, and Ocho rooftop parties that tumble into the much-beloved photo booth.
Soho Beach House event spaces are also an epicenter of signature Miami events, from Swim Week to Halloween to Art Basel Miami Beach. Billed as a lifestyle club, easy sun-filled days glide into fun-filled nights. 4385 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, sohohouse.com

Faena Rose: For the curiously clever
In its 8th year, Faena Rose’s private membership boasts 900 members who adhere to their psychographic alignment rather than vocation and demographics.
Faena Rose president Pablo De Ritis lends his editorial and hospitality experience to imagining multidisciplinary programs around art, literature, film, music, dance, culinary arts and international travel to creative destinations. De Ritis shares, “Our value proposition is to turn the same old clubhouse-centric model of facilities and amenities head-first by making Faena Rose programming-centric.”
Over 80 annual cultural events also address current affairs, and renowned guests have included author Salmon Rushdie, artist Mickalene Thomas, Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary and Scott “Prof G” Galloway.
“Faena Rose brings together culturally and intellectually curious individuals who care deeply about the world,” continues de Ritis, “We aim to enrich members’ lives with the best programming and talent, and we take community building really seriously.”
Members also receive VIP access to Faena Beach Club, the spa, fitness and wellness center, and preferred status and pricing at the Faena Hotel Miami Beach. 3201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, faenamedia.com

The Moore Miami: For the cutting-edge contemporary
In 2023, the historic Miami Design District Moore Building transformed into a distinguished four-floor private members club, restaurant and hotel. Zaha Hadid’s beloved Elastika intervention above the opulent namesake eatery accentuates chic interiors featuring world-class contemporary art by Carrie Mae Weems, Robb Pruitt, Issy Wood, Robert Longo, Cindy Sherman and more.
Brady Wood, founder of developer and operator WoodHouse, shares, “The Club at The Moore is a vivacious space, a living work of art that embodies the pulse and energy of the city outside its historic walls.”
Embracing an equilibrium of club offerings and programs, members have been treated to wine-tasting dinners by Dwyane Wade and Wade Cellars, a skincare masterclass by Dr. Barbara Sturm, among other inimitable experiences that resonate with international travelers and style-savvy locals.
Wood furthers, “We provide opportunities to engage with culture and elevated programs, or to retreat to members-only areas and enjoy the urban oasis in privacy.” 4040 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, mooremiami.com
