Sinan Tuna, the 28-year-old Turkish entrepreneur and CEO of Farmasi, has solidified his reputation as the host of Art Basel’s most talked-about event. On Thursday, December 5, Tuna threw a star-studded soirée at his $30 million Hibiscus Island home that blended high glamour, electrifying entertainment, and unmatched exclusivity.
A Night of Iconic Performances and Star Power
The party was headlined by captivating performances from PAWSA and Kaz James, with additional beats spun by DJ Zack Bia and DJ Cruz. The guest list read like a who’s who of global celebrities, including supermodels Winnie Harlow, Taylor Hill, Maria Borges, and Sofia Resing; music icon Diplo; NFL star Odell Beckham Jr.; City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez; soccer legend Ronaldo; and art-world favorites. Even Miami’s own "Boob God," Lenny Hochstein, joined the glamorous crowd.
Exclusive Invitations That Shine
Attendees had to make the cut for this coveted event, and the invitations themselves were works of art. London-based jeweler Cadaro designed 250 exclusive rings for the occasion. These multi-tiered white gold pieces, encrusted with diamonds and valued at $10,000 each, were not just invitations but wearable statements of Tuna’s signature mix of luxury and exclusivity.
A Culinary and Artistic Feast
The night was a sensory spectacle, featuring custom cocktails and a bespoke bar experience. Specialty-engraved Tequila Don Julio 1942 bottles and a custom RUMOR Rosé bar kept guests refreshed while they mingled amidst cutting-edge art installations. Tuna’s attention to detail turned every corner of his mansion into an immersive experience.
Fireworks Over Miami
Capping off the evening was a dazzling 10-minute fireworks display aptly named "Sky Full of Stars." Against the iconic Miami skyline, the show illuminated the night, providing a breathtaking finale to an unforgettable event that epitomized the opulence and creativity of Art Basel.
