Iconic celeb hot spot Nikki Beach to be evicted to make way for Carbone spin-off
Goodbye rosé all day… hello meatballs on Miami Beach?Nikki Beach, the Miami hotspot where Leonardo DiCaprio and Paris Hilton partied and rosé-drinking was turned into a lifestyle, is facing being evicted to make way for a Carbone spin-off.Its city-owned property parcel, valued at $1 billion, is looking set to be handed to Boucher Brothers, the hospitality group which runs every other venue on the party-hearty strip — and they are bringing in the Major Food Group to help plot the future for the spot which made Miami Beach glamorous again.Located at 1 Ocean Drive, the management contract spans a 23,000-square foot building and exclusive use of the public beach for outdoor seating, include lounge chairs and day beds. On Friday, the City of Miami Beach Commission voted 5-2 to negotiate with the Boucher Brothers to take over Nikki Beach’s lease and management contract, which expires in May 2026. The Boucher Brothers run all the beach concessions up and down Miami Beach — except the Nikki Beach parcel.
