The Setting: The fantastic and luxurious 1 Hotel South Beach is blessed with one of Miami's most impressive rooftop terrace. 18 floors up it offers fantastic ocean views, a prime Miami rooftop pool, modern and organic Polynesian decor, and a sky-high rooftop bar and restaurant called Watr. Watr takes inspiration (and name) from the ocean, that pretty much surrounds you everywhere you look.
The NYE Party: In celebration of New Year’s Eve, Watr at the 1 Rooftop invites both to a dinner experience over two curated seatings, as well as an open bar experience with premium VIP table service, setting the stage for an unforgettable night above the city.

With its sweeping rooftop views, refined ambiance, and a menu crafted for the senses, Giselle offers an evening that feels both transportive and unforgettable.
The NYE Party: Giselle welcomes guests to indulge in exclusive New Year’s Eve dinner experiences across two curated seatings: Nightfall, from 6pm–8pm, and Twilight, from 8pm–2am. Each seating features chef-driven courses, elevated indulgence, and a celebratory midnight toast for those ringing in the new year onsite. Set against the shimmer of the Miami skyline, it’s an evening of culinary elegance and sensual celebration crafted with Giselle’s signature flair.
The Setting: Perched on the 16th floor of the great Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, Area 31 offers fantastic views of Miami's central part and the surrounding skyscrapers, as well as over Miami River. Both a rooftop bar and rooftop restaurant, offering great food along with delicious drinks, it's easy to understand why this continues to be one of the most popular Miami rooftop destinations.
The NYE Party: To celebrate the new year, Area 31 will host a New Year’s Eve Dinner filled with elegance, flavor, and an unforgettable view. The four course tasting experience includes dishes like Florida Wahoo Crudo, Chilean Sea Bass, and Surf & Turf with Lobster Tail, finished with a 24K Gold Chocolate Mousse Cake.

Divided into restaurant, lounge, omakase room and members club, you can sense that this is a venue where celebrations and dining seamlessly merge. As does the indoor-outdoor setting of the impressive and chic-bohemian terrace, filled with minimalistic design elements.
The NYE Party: To celebrate the closing of one chapter and the awakening of another, MILA will host ‘The Last Flame’ NYE party, a rooftop affair inspired by renewal, rhythm, and radiance. With plenty of options, you can choose between bar access or a specialty prix fixe menu in the restaurant, a refined Omakase dinner, or reserve dinner or bottle service in the lounge.
