Solei Beach Club Takes Center Stage at Kimpton Surfcomber’s “Sleepover at Surf”

Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel welcomed media, influencers, and tastemakers to Miami Beach for its annual “Sleepover at Surf,” an immersive overnight experience designed to introduce the hotel’s most exciting new chapter, the debut of Solei Beach Club.

The experience began with arrival and check-in before guests gathered for a guided tour of the property, setting the tone for the evening ahead. The tour concluded in the backyard, where attendees were among the first to preview Solei Beach Club, a reimagined beachside destination inspired by the effortless spirit of the Mediterranean.

Blending coastal Spanish influence with South Beach’s signature energy, Solei introduces an elevated yet relaxed setting defined by ocean-facing views, layered textures, and a warm, sun-drenched palette. The space came alive with live music, refreshing mocktails, and interactive activations, including massage stations and a curated perfume bar, offering a sensory introduction to the concept.

As the evening unfolded, guests transitioned into pre-dinner cocktails beneath the palapa at Solei, where golden hour set the scene for the night’s main event. The brand’s signature cocktail program took center stage, with thoughtfully crafted pours designed to reflect both coastal freshness and refined classics.

A seated, multi-course dinner followed, led by Executive Chef Gastón Javier Sanchez, whose menu draws from Mediterranean and global coastal influences, emphasizing shareable plates, vibrant ingredients, and an elevated yet approachable dining experience that mirrors Solei’s overall ethos.

The following day invited a slower pace, with breakfast and brunch at The Social Club before guests moved into a relaxed, poolside setting. Reserved Solei cabanas offered drinks, light bites, and an opportunity to unwind, reinforcing the day-to-night lifestyle that defines the Surfcomber experience.

The weekend culminated Friday evening with the official grand opening celebration of Solei Beach Club, marking its full debut to Miami. The event brought a vibrant crowd back to the newly unveiled space, now fully realized as a destination in its own right. Designed to transport guests from South Beach to the Spanish Riviera, Solei blends a casually sophisticated atmosphere with oceanfront views, plush lounge seating, and dining beneath a thatched palapa, all set to the rhythm of the nearby shoreline.

Beyond its striking setting, Solei’s offering is equally compelling. The menu, rooted in quality ingredients and designed for sharing, ranges from an expansive raw bar to Mediterranean-inspired small plates and signature entrées, while desserts like Basque-style pistachio cheesecake and Key lime pie round out the experience. The cocktail program anchors the space, with coastal-driven pours and elevated classics such as the Spicy Señorita, Italian Margarita, and the signature frozen Passion Du Solei, alongside curated wines and refreshing spritzes made for golden hour.

For those looking to extend the experience, Solei’s cabanas offer a true poolside retreat, complete with private lounge seating, personalized service, and seamless access from pool to beach. With its thoughtful blend of design, dining, and day-to-night energy, Solei Beach Club establishes itself as one of Miami Beach’s most compelling new destinations, and a defining backdrop for the season ahead.

More than a preview, “Sleepover at Surf” offered a first look at what will define the season ahead, positioning Solei Beach Club at the center of Miami Beach’s summer social scene.
