A luxury designer oasis off the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Bal Harbour, an intimate community established in 1946, is located on the northern tip of the barrier island known as Miami Beach. Enveloped by the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, 96th Street and Haulover Inlet, this compact village fits neatly within one square mile. Nevertheless, within a few feet, residences and guests can enjoy some of the most alluring or winning restaurants, storefronts and real estate in the country. Its landmark, Bal Harbour Shops, is its pendant of charm, featuring an array of couture fashion labels, decadent dining options and one-of-a-kind events. Situated just off the azure waters, residents can enjoy some of the most exceptional shops in the world and then fleet to the beach, where one of the most stunningly beautiful slivers of sand stands.
