Bal Harbor is a tranquil and luxurious enclave at the northern tip of Miami Beach. The village exudes impeccable, contemporary style oceanfront hotels, resorts, residences, ultra-chic shopping and a selection of dining options. Yet, Bal Harbor Village remains a natural paradise with pristine, white sand beaches and a serene spirit. With Haulover Inlet as its northern Border, Biscayne Bay to the west and endless Atlantic Ocean to the east, the views are picturesque from any vantage point.
This area is famous for the upscale Bal Harbor Shops, an exquisite collection of designer boutiques and department stores and restaurants in a tropical garden setting. An internationally renowned shopping destination, it's a favorite playground for socialites, fashionistas and celebrities. The selection of fashion boutiques at Bal Harbor shops includes legendary brands such as Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Etro, Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, Prada, Carolina Herrera and Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Bay Harbor Islands are separated from Bal Harbor and connected to the mainland by a causeway. On the mainland side, Bay Harbor Islands bordered by the City of North Miami, while to the east lies Bal Harbor Village and Surfside. To the South lies the exclusive Village of Indian Creek. Bay Harbor Islands was founded in 1947 and consists of two islands referred to as the west and east Islands. The west island features single family homes, while the east island contains the business district, the school, and multi-family housing.
