New Yorkers love South Beach because there's always something going on, whether it's Art Basel in December, the Ultra Music Festival in March, or polo on the beach in April. Maserati returned for its eighth year to the sands of South Beach, with its backdrop of blue-green waters and perfect blue sky. The award-winning maker of luxury sports cars celebrated its inaugural year as title sponsor of the four-day Women's Polo Cup, featuring top players from around the world, also sponsored by Heys USA, Don Miguel Gascón winery, and the Raleigh Hotel.

It wouldn't have been a South Beach party without VIP action, which included Maserati cars for picture posing, open bars everywhere, and a never-ending fireworks display at the Raleigh. Partiers gathered after midnight at the Domenico Vacca lounge at the Setai Hotel, and at an elegant soirée centered around the Setai's awesome garden pool, complete with Ciroc cocktails and glorious hors d'oeuvres. Nighttime fashion shows featured designs by the likes of La Martina, Blank Silk, and one Meghan Walsh (daughter of America's Most Wanted host John Walsh). Guests at an after party on the Perry Hotel's extraordinary rooftop enjoyed a panoramic view of Miami Beach.
