The fifth edition of American Express Presents: CARBONE BEACH returns to the sands of Miami Beach from Friday, May 1, to Sunday, May 3. This "Supper Club on the Sand" by Major Food Group remains the weekend's most coveted ticket, combining Mario Carbone’s iconic Italian cuisine with surprise performances that have previously featured legends like Andrea Bocelli and Diana Ross. It is the ultimate destination for industry titans, athletes, and celebrities looking for an intimate yet extravagant race-week experience.

Nightlife & Play

• E11EVEN Miami: The 24/7 ultraclub will serve as the week's epicenter, known as the place where F1 winners come to celebrate. Expect a non-stop lineup of world-class DJs and chart-topping artists.

• 400 Vinyl Room: Opening this spring at the Gale Miami Hotel, this intimate listening sanctuary draws inspiration from 1970s Japanese hi-fi culture, offering a sophisticated vinyl-only audio experience.

• Reserve Padel: For those looking for active luxury, the courts at the Seaplane Base and Design District have become the pre-race hangout for drivers like Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris.
