About Mandale
Mandale Luxury Magazine is a Miami-based digital publication covering ultra-high-net-worth life in South Florida, founded by Alex Tugender (CEO) and Lila Tugender (Editor-in-Chief), who have operated in Miami since 2012.
Mandale covers the people, places and decisions that define the top of the Miami market: the dining scene from Brickell to the Design District, branded residences and luxury real estate, private aviation and yachting, members clubs, and the events calendar that organizes the city’s year — Art Basel, the Miami International Boat Show, the Pegasus World Cup, F1 Miami.
Our editorial voice is grounded in original reporting. We do not paraphrase press releases. Where data is cited, sources are named. Where we rank or score, the methodology is published alongside the result — as in the Mandale Miami Luxury Dining Index, our quarterly assessment of the city’s UHNW dining rooms.
Mandale’s community exceeds 800,000+ readers on Instagram, making it one of Miami’s largest digital audiences for luxury lifestyle. The editorial site is the publication’s long-form surface; Instagram is its daily one.
Editorial Policy
Ownership and disclosure. Mandale Luxury Magazine and Mandale Luxury Marketing — a brand-services agency — share common ownership. We disclose this because readers are entitled to know it.
What that ownership does not do is buy coverage. No editorial placement is for sale. No agency client receives favorable review, inclusion or ranking as a result of that relationship. Rankings and indices — including the Mandale Miami Luxury Dining Index — are compiled without commercial input, and no venue is informed of its score before publication. Where a story would intersect with an agency relationship, we say so in the story.
Corrections. Factual errors are corrected immediately, with a visible note at the bottom of the article. We do not unpublish.
Contact. Reach the editorial desk at editorial@mandaleluxurymagazine.com for reporting inquiries, corrections, or story pitches.
