Executive Retail Shops hosted its second annual World of Wonder event at Miami’s Casa Neos this week, transforming the waterfront venue into a series of immersive environments designed to showcase the company’s vision for the future of travel retail. The evening blended culture, craftsmanship and sensory discovery through curated experiences spanning premium spirits, fine fragrance, cigars and confectionery.
More than 320 guests attended, including entrepreneurs and TV personalities Abe and Erin Lichy of The Real Housewives of New York City and Kiki Barth of The Real Housewives of Miami, along with brand partners, tastemakers, industry leaders, and media, including Travel Markets Insider.
The immersive worlds were inspired by global destinations. Spirit of the Sea was designed as a luminous Mediterranean escape inspired by the Amalfi Coast, Greece, and Ibiza. This immersive seaside setting was set amid blue-and-white coastal décor, lush lemon trees, terracotta accents, and a vintage Vespa.
House of Smoke was an Old Havana–inspired lounge evoking the golden age of Cuban nightlife. Guests witnessed master cigar rollers at work, tried their luck at elegant gaming tables, and savored crafted Old Fashioned cocktails provided by Angel’s Envy and sipped on Rémy XO, Gold Bar and Johnnie Walker Blue, paired with premium selections from Gurkha Cigars.
Le Salon Sucré was a Parisian confectionery salon where guests were treated to flambé desserts paired with espresso martinis crafted by Bacardi’s Patron XO Cafe and Licor 43 Carajillos provided by Monarq.
Throughout the evening, the main bars poured an elevated selection of specialty cocktails featuring Teremana Tequila, Hendrick’s Gin, Zacapa No. 23, Dom Pérignon, Rémy Martin 1738 Cognac, and Jägermeister Cold Brew machine served cold brew coffee.
A high-energy fire performer captivated the crowd and became one of the most Instagrammable moments of the night, while live music was performed by local artist Riamonae, along with her band.
