Mokai

The Opium Group is one of the country’s most successful hospitality conglomerates, operating Miami’s top four nightclubs; Opium Garden, Privé, Mansion and SET. A driving force behind South Beach’s ongoing cultural renaissance, The Opium Group has been heralded by Harpers’s Bazaar, Travel & Leisure, People, Time, The Miami Herald, and numerous other publications for drawing A-list celebrities and the international jet-set to Miami Beach.

Miami nightlife was transformed with the opening of Mokai, one of the best and most (if not the most) exclusive nightclub and lounge.

At just 4,000 square feet and with capacity capped at 220 club-happy patrons, the lounge is an intimate departure from the same camp that brought you Mynt. DJs spin the latest house and hip-hop tracks as the lucky 220 inside can kick their feet up on wooden ottomans, lay back against brick walls, and admire the "Lord of the Rings" vibe (Mokai is the New Zealand canyon where the trilogy was filmed).

Featuring eye popping cherry-red sofas, black lacquered walls, lipstick-pink panels, and an "Alice in Wonderland" array of custom-designed chandeliers, Mokai features a Baccarat-inspired chandelier pit - a modern take on a traditional fireplace. Embracing modern New York sensibility and Miami joie de vivre, other eye candy elements featured in Mokai’s design include a collectors selection of art and fashion photography, and contemporary Moroccan lattice work.

Mokai’s grand showcase bar is the focal point of this hotspot, featuring a dramatic backbar display for bottles and glassware, and adorned with ornate floral arrangements and greenery. Guests are invited to sip a variety of spirits and champagnes at the bar, or servers donning La Femme Nikita attire and Mad Max-inspired uniforms provide VIP table service with packages available. 

The DJ booth reign’s supreme at Mokai, where hip hop, rock and house music formats are spun by a celebrated collection of top DJs nightly. Frequented by celebrities like to let loose in Mokai’s festive setting, perfect for a special occasion and new years eve countdowns.
