REEFLINE Beachfront Activations | The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach Oceanfront
As the new official hotel partner for REEFLINE, an innovative underwater sculpture park and hybrid reef off Miami Beach, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach will collaborate with REEFLINE to present beachfront activations at the intersection of art and science during Miami Art Week.
Throughout the week, visitors will be invited to join a curated program: from sunrise yoga, guided oceanic meditations, and beach clean-ups to electric paddleboard outings to REEFLINE’s first underwater site, located off 4th–5th Street in Miami Beach. There, they can dive or snorkel to experience “Concrete Coral,” the monumental underwater installation by Leandro Erlich: twenty-two full-scale ‘cars’ crafted in South Florida using marine-grade concrete and CoralLok™️ technology, seeded with over 2,200 live corals to symbolically transform urban congestion into marine life. A porcelain replica of Erlich’s Concrete Coral car, produced by Lladró, will be exhibited inside The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach.
“REEFLINE opened this fall in response to the urgent need for creative climate resilience and marine conservation in Miami Beach,” said Ximena Caminos, REEFLINE Founder, “Through our collaboration with The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, we’re expanding access to environmental education and eco-tourism by bringing REEFLINE’s ‘Concrete Coral’ activations to the shoreline. Guests can connect firsthand with the living artwork beneath the waves, where art and science come together to inspire awareness, participation, and lasting care for our oceans.”
Daily poetry activations with O, Miami and afternoon dialogues will bring together local and international partners to explore themes of climate, art, and ecology. The week will culminate in a collective ocean ceremony; a shared gesture of gratitude and renewal honoring Miami’s coastal ecosystem and the growing REEFLINE beneath its waters.
