Bal Harbour is known as South Florida's most fashionable beach destination. Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Valentino, and many other posh designer brands can be found at the luxurious, open-air shopping mall called The Shops at Bal Harbour. Affluent people from around the world flock to this glamorous shopping mecca which boasts beautiful gardens, hundreds of designer stores, and upscale restaurants including Carpaccio and Zodiac at Neiman Marcus. According to Women’s Wear Daily, no other retail space in the nation does more business per square foot than The Shops at Bal Harbour.
 
With a population of less than 3,000 residents and occupying less than one square mile, Bal Harbour is considered one of South Florida's most exclusive neighborhoods. Luxury condo developments in Bal Harbour, such as St. Regis Bal Harbour, One Bal Harbour, and Majestic Tower, can be found in along its picturesque, beach coastline. The newest and most luxurious addition to Bal Harbour is Oceana Bal Harbour, which was completed in 2016.
