Into the Wild: Selvatico Wynwood’s Jungle-Inspired Modern Lounge Oasis
In the heart of Miami’s ever-evolving Wynwood Art District, where creativity pulses through every mural-lined street, Selvatico Wynwood emerges as the latest hotspot redefining the nightlife scene. Spearheaded by Ivette Naranjo, the visionary mind behind Caféina, this lush, jungle-inspired lounge feels like a breath of fresh, tropical air amidst the urban jungle.
With its grand opening, Selvatico has become more than just a venue—it’s an immersive experience. The moment you step inside, you’re transported into a tropical oasis, thanks to the design genius of Natasha Tellini Vontobel. The interiors marry raw, earthy tones with a bold palette of lush greens, creating a visual feast that extends from the interactive wall art to the plant-filled seating areas. Both indoors and outdoors, the space is a perfect balance of nature and modernity, offering a chic yet inviting escape.
Operating Thursday through Saturday from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m., Selvatico Wynwood offers an intoxicating fusion of atmosphere, food, and drinks that’s impossible to resist. The cocktail menu, meticulously curated, features exotic concoctions that feel as though they’ve been plucked straight from the tropics—every sip a nod to the lush surroundings. And just when you think the experience can’t get any better, the introduction of the new tapas menu adds another layer of indulgence. Whether you're there for a wild night out or a relaxed evening with friends, this venue delivers.
Naranjo, a dynamic force in Miami’s hospitality scene, effortlessly blends her love for food, culture, and design. Her background in business and interior design, combined with her ability to conceptualize spaces that feel alive, has made her an undeniable force in transforming Wynwood. A pioneer, she was instrumental in securing the first liquor license in the area, effectively marking the dawn of Wynwood’s nightlife revolution.
By day, she’s the hard-hat-wearing CEO, overseeing every meticulous detail of her ventures, and by night, she channels her creative energy into cultivating an unforgettable nightlife experience. Naranjo’s dedication to her craft hasn’t gone unnoticed—her efforts in shaping the district earned her a proclamation from Miami Beach Vice Mayor Michael Gongora. It’s a testament to her vision that Wynwood is now being likened to Miami’s own version of SoHo.
With its unique blend of cocktails, tapas, and jungle-inspired ambiance, Selvatico Wynwood is a destination where nature meets sophistication, and where nightlife finds its new rhythm.
