October has finally arrived, and if you’re looking for a way to get in the Halloween spirit, the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel is kicking festivities up a notch! The chic Miami Beach venue is trading daytime lounging for evening thrills, offering a stacked lineup of interactive dining and family-friendly movies throughout the season.
For starters, the hotel is bringing back its popular Halloween Murder Mystery Dinner Series, now hosted at Solei Beach Club, and adding a new Halloween Movie Night Series that screens cinematic classics under the stars.
Halloween open-air cinema
If you really want to get your thrills this season, Solei is turning its beachfront deck into an open-air theater. Guests of all ages are encouraged to bring along beach chairs or blankets, settle into the sand and enjoy a selection of nostalgic Halloween favorites. Each ticket includes a free bag of popcorn.
Taking place Fridays at 8 p.m., the schedule goes as follows:
- October 16: Ghostbusters
- October 23: Beetlejuice
- October 30: Hocus Pocus
Murder mystery dinners
The Murder Mystery Dinner Series returns with a new setting this year, Solei Beach Club, so you can play detective with the ocean breeze in the background. Attendees will receive character assignments upon booking, becoming part of the unfolding drama as clues lead to a final reveal.
The entertainment is paired with seasonal three-course menu curated by Executive Chef Gastón Javier, alongside themed craft cocktails.
The series kicks off at 8 p.m. on October 10 with Murder at the School of Sorcery, where mischief awaits at a magical academy. Then The Witches’ Pact continues on October 17, followed by A Killer Evening: Sip, Dine & Solve the Crime on October 24.
A cause worth sipping for alongside other drink deals
The fall fun extends beyond the menu, with The Social Club serving daily bottomless brunch cocktails, weekday happy hours and its Shaken After Dark martini series.
Happy Hour at the hotel’s signature restaurant runs Sunday through Thursday, from 5 to 7 p.m., with $12 cocktails and light bites, alongside $10 wines and $7 beers. During Shaken After Dark, on Fridays from 5 to 10 p.m., guests can sip their way through espresso martinis, dirty martinis, cosmopolitans, French martinis and lemon drops for just $10.
Additionally, Solei Beach Club will turn its signature rosé into an opportunity to give back this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of sales from every purchase of Solei Rosé will benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for awareness and research.
