Luminosa: An Illuminated Odyssey Through Time and Culture
Original, vibrant, and spectacular; Luminosa has raised the bar with an unprecedented journey of lights through creation.
In the heart of Miami of its gorgeous Causeway bridge is the family favorite Jungle Island. This remarkable backdrop is transformed for two months each day as the sun sets over the water. From November 21st to February 28th Jungle Island showcases Luminosa, A Festival of Lights.
This tremendous spectacle is birthed by the astute Zigong Lantern Group and its team of over 150 professional Chinese artisans. They designed over 40 massive and brilliant scenes to walk amongst throughout the park. To create these larger-then-life three-dimensional works of art, the group used over 120 tons of steel, 150,000 feet of silk, 43,600 LED bulbs, and 500,000 feet of LED strips.
Luminosa has different sections in Jungle Island that gives you an illuminated cultural experience as you view various ancient civilizations from our past. Some of them were the Egyptians and their gigantic pyramid, the Mayans and their intricate symbols, Mexico’s Día de Los Muertos with a trail of impressive painted skulls.
Two of my favorite scenes were Luminosa’s depiction of the lost city of Atlantis and an Ancient Chinese Dynasty. Atlantis glowed through the night sky, teeming with life, with its floating underwater creatures. Standing as a centerpiece was a huge Neptune with his stoic trident.
The Ancient Chinese Civilization was simply stunning. The beautiful lite-up kingdom with a line of Terracotta Warriors in front of it. The walkway also took you through a three-dimensional tunnel which was the actual body of an immense dragon. What a sight to be seen!
Other colorfully vivid structures of animals were on display throughout the park. Brilliant pieces that made up a leopard, an alligator, an elephant, parrots, a color-changing chameleon, and so, so many more.
Luminosa, A Festival of Lights also has a good array of food and drinks found at the entrance and throughout the park. Whether you’re into Chinese, Italian, or just want a cocktail and a snack; you can find it there. During your time at Luminosa, there is also live music to help sustain an atmosphere for your senses.
Jungle Island’s Luminosa, A Festival of Lights is unlike anything else you will find or see in Florida. It’s truly something that you must see and experience to understand just how impressive it is. The flawless workmanship that the Zigong Lantern Group has done will leave you astonished.

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami
Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
