Bay & Bal Harbour

Welcome to Bal Harbour & Bay Harbor Islands: The Ultimate Luxury Neighborhood Guide

Bal Harbour: The Pinnacle of Oceanfront Luxury

Occupying just a third of a square mile between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, Bal Harbour may be one of the smallest municipalities in Miami-Dade County, but it is undeniably one of the most exclusive. Situated south of Haulover and Sunny Isles Beach, and north of Surfside, the village is defined by its abundant landscaping, curving arc of pristine beach, and a lush walking path.

Bal Harbour is globally recognized for its large waterfront estates and oceanfront luxury condominiums. Buyers here demand the highest standards of architecture, privacy, and white-glove service.

Iconic Bal Harbour Residences

• The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort: Offering legendary five-star service, these residences feature expansive ocean views, private elevators, and access to world-class resort amenities.
• Oceana Bal Harbour: A modern architectural masterpiece known for its museum-quality art collection, sprawling floor plans, and unobstructed Atlantic Ocean vistas.
• Rivage Residences in Bal Harbour: The newest and most anticipated addition to the shoreline. Rivage Residences is redefining ultra-luxury with bespoke, limited-edition beachfront villas in the sky, setting new benchmarks for the local real estate market.

Bay Harbor Islands: A Private Waterfront Haven

Just west of Bal Harbour, separated by the waters of Biscayne Bay, lie the Bay Harbor Islands. This tight-knit community is a mix of families, retirees, and young professionals who enjoy a range of local events, including an annual Christmas parade and vibrant art festivals.

The town is situated on two distinct islands that offer a highly exclusive lifestyle:

• The West Island (Broadview): Spanning 103 acres, this island is occupied entirely by luxurious, large single-family homes. Many of these exclusive waterfront estates boast magnificent, unobstructed views of Indian Creek Island or Haulover.
• The East Island (Biscaya): Covering 150 acres, the East Island is home to boutique luxury condominiums and a vibrant commercial district featuring medical offices, fashionable shops, art galleries, and fine dining restaurants.

Located in the heart of Miami-Dade County, Bay Harbor Islands provides a quiet retreat that is still just minutes away from the energy of South Beach and Aventura.

Lifestyle & World-Class Amenities

The centerpiece of the local lifestyle is the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops. Set against a beautiful tropical garden backdrop, this open-air luxury oasis features an internationally renowned collection of boutiques, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Tiffany & Co.

Beyond shopping and dining, residents enjoy access to pristine beaches, local parks, and a private Marina located within the gated section of Bal Harbour Village. Just to the north, Haulover Beach Park offers scenic jogging and cycling trails, picnic areas, and fishing piers, providing endless outdoor recreation.
