Slow living in an oceanside oasis

Bal Harbour Real Estate

Peaceful, luxurious Bal Harbour is a far cry from the riled-up spring breakers sometimes spotted on Miami’s mainland. Located on the northern end of Miami Beach, Bal Harbour is an off-the-beaten-path favorite for locals looking for luxurious estates on beachfront properties. While it doesn’t have the glitz of South Beach’s Art Deco District or the glam found in South of Fifth, but with its elegant restaurants, high-end retailers, and plenty of beach land to explore, Bal Harbour exemplifies small-town living in a stunning, suburban setting.


​​​​​​​What to Love

  • Private estates and premier condos
  • Quiet, palm tree-lined streets 
  • Atlantic sunrises and Biscayne Bay sunsets in this tropical oasis

People & Lifestyle

Luxurious and lavish Bal Harbour is considered to be one of the best places to live in Florida— perfect for both retirees craving rejuvenation and young professionals wishing for a reprieve from the bustle of the city without losing urban conveniences. Expansive Mediterranean-style manors and upscale condos are located close to the beach for morning walks at low tide and sunbathing afternoons, while mainland Miami is just a short drive across the bridges.


Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Open-air shopping mall The Bal Harbour Shops is home to a wide variety of luxury retailers of high-end couture, such as Balenciaga and Chanel, as well as health, beauty, and home décor. Independent bookseller Books & Books is a popular gathering place and purveyor of coffees, wines, and your soon-to-be favorite reads. Additionally, the Bal Harbour Shops house a selection of exquisite restaurants that incorporate global cuisines into their menus. At Makoto, masterful sushi chefs craft delectable Japanese dishes that blend traditional recipes with 21st-century flair. French-Mediterranean cooking can be found at Le Zoo, where Chef Stephen Starr combines Provençal flavors with immaculate hospitality. Stunning Italian fares are served at Carpaccio, where dinner tables are dressed in white tablecloths and frequent diners include socialites, sports stars, and political figures.
