Meet the members of Soho Beach House

Since it opened back in 2010, Soho Beach House – our oceanfront club in Miami, complete with 50 bedrooms, a palm-tree shaded pool, and plenty of space for dining, drinking and socialising – has welcomed the city’s creative community with open arms. 

Situated in a 1940s tower overlooking Miami Beach, the House invites members to come together to enjoy the city’s sights, design heritage and vibrant cultural scene. Here, we shine a light on some of those members; the creatives that help to make it such a special place. Read on to discover just what makes Soho Beach House so unique, and where you’re most likely to catch these members in the club.

Ana Clara Silva
Director of exhibitions at Faena Art and founder of Soho Beach House Miami Art Club

How long have you been a member?
‘Over nine years now – and I created the Art Club almost four years ago.’

What makes Soho Beach House unique? 
‘The sense of exploration that comes from members coming together. Soho Beach House is unique for so many obvious reasons – like the beach – but what really stands out to me is the accessibility it offers to so many interesting people and institutions throughout the city. Miami is a big “small town”, and Soho House is a great place to meet and learn from each other.’
 
How do you spend your time at Soho House?
‘I’m mostly at the House during Art Club events, when we host artist talks and workshops. And while sometimes we’re off-site at museums, galleries and artist studios, we’re still in the Soho House mode together. Everyone who participates is interested in learning more about arts and culture in some capacity, and that creates an almost immediate bond between members. I love seeing people get their hands dirty during artist workshops. I also enjoy going for lunch or dinner with friends. You can’t beat Cecconi’s for its food and vibe.’

Artist

How long have you been a member?
‘Since 2014.’

What makes Soho Beach House so unique?
‘I love the community aspect. In a city like Miami, where there is so much tourism and change, Soho Beach House has consistently been my anchor to connect with others in the city. Of course, nothing compares to the beautiful ocean of Miami, either.’

How do you spend your time at Soho House?
‘The time I spend at the House can look very different. Sometimes I’ll opt for wellness days at the Cowshed spa or in the gym, sometimes it’ll be sociable late nights. That’s what makes the space so special – no two days are ever the same.’

‘The members are incredibly diverse, but they all share the qualities of being both interested and interesting. The atmosphere in the House is relaxing and fun, which makes it so easy to engage with others.’

How do you spend your time at Soho House?
‘The House is so dynamic, I can find the space for whatever I need: a vacation, a party, a cafe, an office, a spa, a bar, a gym… you can define its function by your need.’
