Since its inception in 1929, Bal Harbour has been an elite enclave on the tiny tip of this barrier island. It is unquestionably the most sophisticated and culturally rich embodiment of South Florida’s glamorous lifestyle.
This unparalleled location offers both a sense of privacy and convenient access to entertainment, dining, shopping, transportation and recreation.
A favorite of snowbirds from the beginning, the town has an urban vibe, cultural presence and welcoming community. The now-legendary Bal Harbour Shops arrived in 1965, bringing a caliber of stores unrivaled by Manhattan’s Madison and Fifth Avenues and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
The village is also home to Unscripted Bal Harbour, a renowned public art program, and to its Art Access program that provides complimentary admission for residents and their guests to some of the area’s finest museums.
Beyond the immediate vicinity, nearby cultural hubs include the Wynwood Art District, Miami Design District, South Beach and Downtown Miami.
