Welcome to Bal Harbour

Serene beaches and a strong community are the foundation for these international-renowned shopping destinations
 
Drive just fifteen minutes north of Miami Beach, and you’ll encounter the quaint and luxurious Bal Harbour and Surfside. Beachfront enclaves of the energetic city, these two villages are connected to Miami via bridges and yet remain a quieter, serene escape from city life. While both locations have their own distinct charisma, they’re equally renowned for their internationally acclaimed resorts, magnificent white beaches, ultra-luxury real estate developments, oceanfront residences, modern appeal, walkability, chic style, and community-centered mindset.
 
Surfside is known for its quieter personality, endless sunny days, and a small population of just 6,000 families, all of which contribute to its status as a peaceful escape with strong residential roots and resort-style living. Bal Harbour houses the famed Bal Harbour Shops, which maintains an impressive status as the most productive shopping center in the world.
 
Residential options in these villages extend beyond the luxe ocean view condos and multi-million dollar high-rise penthouses on the beach. However, developments like Eighty Seven Park and The Four Seasons Surf Club have helped cement their status as highly-desirable resort living. 
 
In Surfside and Bal Harbour, you can find single-family homes with a Miami Modern style at more accessible prices and apartments in mid-rise buildings. One of the most well-known facets of Bal Harbour is its array of massive, gated estates set in private neighborhoods, which can sell for upwards of 30 million dollars and include palatial Neoclassical masterpieces, sleek contemporary new-builds, Spanish villa-inspired retreats, and unbelievable amenities.
