Savor SoFLO 2025: Sun, Sand, and Seriously Good Eats
March 29, 2025
Sunshine, sizzling bites, and a whole lot of celebration—Savor SoFLO returned to Hollywood Beach for a delicious weekend that delivered big flavor and even bigger vibes. This year’s fest was extra special, marking a triple celebration: Savor SoFLO’s 5th anniversary, the City of Hollywood’s 100th birthday, and the 10th anniversary of Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, the festival’s host hotel. And trust me—it felt like one giant, sun-soaked birthday bash.
Held on March 29 & 30, 2025, Savor SoFLO turned the Hollywood Broadwalk into a 25,000-square-foot tasting paradise with two massive tents, beachfront views, and non-stop bites and beverages from 1 PM to 4 PM. General admission tickets were $115, while VIP access (which came with early entry at noon + exclusive access to the Publix Liquors Spirits Lounge) was $145.
If you weren’t at Hollywood Beach this weekend for Savor SoFLO, you seriously missed out. On March 29, I joined a crowd of happy foodies for a day of sunshine, sips, and some of the best bites South Florida has to offer—and let me tell you, it was everything.
Imagine this: you’re walking along the boardwalk, ocean breeze in your hair, live DJ setting the mood, and every few feet there’s a new tent offering up bite-sized bliss from top-notch restaurants. That’s exactly what the Grand Tasting Village served up. From juicy steaks to killer cocktails, it was a full-on flavor fest.
A Star-Studded Culinary Lineup
The chef and restaurant lineup this year was absolutely stacked:
- Mastro’s Ocean Club – I’m still dreaming about this: Mastro’s filet with peppercorn sauce. It was buttery, bold, perfectly pink in the middle, and just… wow. I almost went back for a second round (okay, I did).
- Morton’s The Steakhouse – A classic steakhouse delivering bold, rich flavors and that iconic Morton’s flair.
- The Palm – Famous for their perfectly aged steaks and jumbo Nova Scotia lobsters. They brought the surf and the turf.
- The Amalfi Llama – A creative blend of Italian and South American influences. Think fire-grilled goodness and rustic flavors.
- North Italia – Serving up handmade pasta, artisan pizzas, and all the modern Italian vibes. They even gave us the most adorable pasta socks.
These restaurants didn’t just show up—they showed out. Their chefs weren’t just cooking, they were creating experiences.
Over at the San Pellegrino Cooking Stage, things were heating up—literally. Chefs from all over went head-to-head in a live culinary competition, chopping, flambéing, and plating their way to the top. It was part Iron Chef, part beach party, and totally captivating. You could tell they were having as much fun as we were.
I’m still dreaming about this: Mastro’s filet with peppercorn sauce. It was buttery, bold, perfectly pink in the middle, and just… wow. I almost went back for a second round (okay, I did). But the true showstopper? Their signature buttercake. Warm, gooey, golden perfection with a cloud of whipped cream on top. One bite and I understood why it’s legendary.
Good Food for a Good Cause
One of the coolest parts of the day? Knowing that stuffing my face was actually supporting a good cause. A portion of the festival proceeds went to Glam-A-THON™ and Gilda’s Club South Florida—two amazing nonprofits supporting breast cancer warriors right here in our community.
Whether you came for the wine, the waves, or the food, Savor SoFLO delivered. It was the perfect mix of high-end food and laid-back beach vibes. I left full, happy, and already looking up the date for 2026.
If you go next year, pro tip: wear stretchy pants and don’t skip the buttercake.

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.
