My daughter and I love to stop by here a few times a year for the restaurants as well as the shops. I remember that several years ago I was in total awe of this upscale and very beautiful 3 story mall of high-end designer stores that was also recognized in other parts of the world. The famous celebrities, world politicians, and other well-to-do people frequented Bal Harbor Shops. Now, the shoppers are the 1% and the 99%. Some do window shopping only, others do actual shopping and eat at the fine restaurants, and some only dine at the restaurants. We have done all three. Here are the shops and restaurants that I have copied and pasted from the internet for your info: Retailers and restaurants include Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Brioni, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Goyard, Gucci, Harry Winston, Prada, Richard Mille, Van Cleef & Arpels, Versace, Makoto, Le Zoo, Carpaccio, Cafe on 3, and Hillstone. The anchors are Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. I was sad that Dior wasn't there. There is an elevator to take you to the 2nd and 3rd levels. Parking is $10 an hour and there is also valet service. Treat yourself and go take a look! You will be happy that you did. There is even a koi pool that you and your kids would love to see. read more

Stopped by with the family during our August vacation in Miami. The parking garage has ample parking for $3 per hour. They have a lot of high-end shops, along with some names you have never heard of with products I would not considered in the same ball park. The mall is three stories, with some restaurants on the third floor, but some of the shops are two, with stairs inside, which I believe takes up space from the possibility of having more brands and a bigger variety. We saw a lot of nice items, just be sure to bring your wallet and have a second job! read more

This has to be one of the highest concentrations of luxury shopping I have ever seen. It seems like every high end brand is here. I really liked the lush tropical vibe inside the main walkway with the little ponds. The juxtaposition for me is that the brands are top shelf, but the place itself is a bit of a dump. It is very dated looking, 70's concrete bunker style, with clunky metal railings everywhere. The food options are pretty old-fashioned luxury too: sushi, Italian and French. We ate lunch at Carpacccio - the food and service there were pretty good, but it was very expensive for what we got. I am not complaining about the food bill, because you should expect to splash the cash if you come here and eat. Overall, the vibe is very old and dull here. If you want buzz, higher energy, new luxury, etc., I recommend the design district. read more

Bal Harbour Shops is the epitome of luxury retail. Hands down the best place to shop, dine and simply be. There's something here for everyone, lots of different styles to select from. The security provides great service! There is a paid parking lot and valet available. Many restaurants to choose from, all at a great value. BHS beats the hustle and bustle from your traditional big box retail malls. BHS is more exclusive, easy and breezy to navigate. Not to mention it's GORGEOUS. Expect mid-high to elevated price points. This is a designer-luxury shopping mall. read more

Located in the upscale Bal Harbour neighborhood, it's a great option to do some window shopping and have a delicious meal at one of their great restaurants (e.g., Makoto). I love the fact the mall traffic is not high here which makes the palace not crowded at all. It's super clean with beautiful interiors. Even if you are not buying anything, it's a great option to enjoy the peaceful interiors. As a Miami local, I can't recommend it enough. Hope you like it! read more

I absolutely adore this place. It reminds me of Alamoana mall in Honolulu simply because it is outdoors and the layout as well as the greenery, the ponds, the fish and the turtles. Remind me of Alamoana. This place actually has valet services that quite a lot of people use. The great thing about the Small is at any huge name that you could possibly ever want to find you will find here however, you will not find mid priced or more affordable options at this location in any way shape or form. Your best luck is going to be at Neimans's or at Saks for some of the other product lines that they might carry that are more affordable. This was a great visit, simply to window shop, and to look, as well as to have access to some pretty hard to find brands around the globe. We also were having lunch here, which I will do in a separate review but the food options here are incredible. read more

This place is so lovely! Walking around, checking out different luxury stores and having lunch at one of their awesome restaurants is the perfect recipe for a fabulous Sunday. They offer parking in their garage or valet that's 10$. The design of the space is so aesthetically pleasing -- filled with orchids on the trees and beautiful flowers and art pieces in every corner. I love going to some of their restaurants like, Avenue 31, Hillstone, Le Zoo, or Makoto to name a few. As for the shopping -- if you're looking to buy anything designer, this is the spot for you. They have almost every designer you can think of so next time you're looking to make your big treat yourself purchase, definitely make your way over to Bal Harbour Shops! It won't disappoint. read more

Bal Harbour Shops is located between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay in the upscale village of Bal Harbour. Its history goes all the way back to WWII when the land the mall now sits on used to be military barracks and a prisoner of war camp. In 1965 developer Stanley Whitman built Florida's first high end fashion center. After studying other malls around the country for 8 years, Whitman rejected the enclosed malls taking advantage of the new invention of air conditioning in favor of an open air mall that showcased the lush tropical South Florida environment. Instead of creating a mixed use mall with businesses that provided useful services as was typical of the time, he instead sought to entice high end fashion retailers to South Florida of the type that could have only been previously found in New York and Paris. He hired Herb johnson from a Miami based firm to design the mall. Whitman was also influential in the Bal Harbour community. He helped to acquire a new zip code, improve traffic plans, landscaping and beach restoration, improve the water main, create a resort tax and more. Bal Harbour Shops really took off when Whitman convinced Neiman Marcus to open their first specialty boutique outside of Texas in Bal Harbour. The stores success spurned other luxury retailers to follow suit. A second floor was added to the mall in 1982 and a third floor was completed in 1983. Today Bal Harbour Shops is 58 years old and one of the highest grossing shopping centers in the world. In addition to Neiman Marcus and anchor Saks Fifth Avenue which opened in 1976, you can shop across three floors such luxe brands as Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Prada, Chanel, Rolex, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, and Balenciaga to name just a few. Dinning options include Aba, Carpaccio, Hillstone, Le Zoo, Makoto, Bianco Gelato, and Café en 3. You won't find a pedestrian food court in this high end mall. Bal Harbour Shops has a special complimentary mall membership program that provides a suite lounge area where you can sit and relax, a complimentary parking reward, coffee, and other programs and member benefits throughout the year. My favorite part of the mall is the landscaped courtyard garden. There are trees festooned with colorful orchids, fountains, and koi and turtle ponds. I came to the mall to see the temporary exhibit Fleurs de Villes Voyage. This was my first time here and I had a few insights from the experience. While I loved the exhibit, traffic is nightmare surrounding the mall because of Haulover Park on the other side of the bridge from the mall. The large and very popular park puts a lot of traffic into the small artery of road leaving the mall. I experienced traffic delays going to and leaving the mall. Once you finally reach the mall you have to pay for parking. It was a nominal $1 and hour. It wasn't anything expensive but you do need to remember to pay your ticket before getting back into your car to leave. Lastly the mall is under a major 500 million dollar construction project. The mall is trying to add another 340,000 square feet to the 511,000-square-foot shopping center. The back of the mall and the parking garage look terrible. Bal Harbour Shops was sued for a million dollars by a construction firm for not paying their bill and if that wasn't bad enough, they are in litigation with one of their two anchors, Saks Fifth Avenue. They also lost the chance to secure Barney's of New York in the mall. How the mall will resolve the construction issue that has been going on for years now still remains to be seen. read more

I'll never forget the day I first came here. I was 17 and searching for my senior prom dress without a clue that the dress I was trying on was priced at 10k. Afterwards, I realized I wasn't the Cuban Jackie O and took my talents elsewhere yet didn't completely disregard the level of panache this shopping and dining district had to offer. Afterall, "FasHiOn iS mY PaSSiOn" xoxo The way I describe it to people who are unfamiliar with Bal Harbour Shops is "Julia Tuttle recreates Rodeo Drive pero con chancletas". That's the vibe. The glam here is timeless and is a more vintage rendition of what the Design District was basically inspired by. In the event that you're not in the mood to spend 2k on a shirt, there's plenty of fine dining for those who indulge in fancy dinners with pretty martinis. I am the truffle countess after all so...I can recognize a good menu when I see one. Here, there's plenty of that goodness so it's like the wealth that keeps giving. It's a lovely place to take a stroll and window shop for diamonds yet still be able to realistically make purchases at stores that aren't over the top pricey that offer timeless pieces. One of my favorites is Agent Provocateur because items like that never go out of style. Sak's sells my favorite fragrance and I usually come in December when it's buy 3, get one free for Bond No. 9. I love the glitzy glamour that Bal Harbour embodies and so coming here is never a bad idea...unless you accidentally try on a 10k dress. read more

Bal Harbour Shops - Who wore it better ? - Pop-up Shops Near Me - Bal Harbour, Florida

Went here just to see the Fleurs de Villes display. It was lovely! I missed it last year. The flower displays were so carefully and thoughtfully put together. Gorgeous designs. The only thing was the heat had already started to wilt some of the beautiful blooms. Nonetheless it was a fabulous display. I would definitely recommend checking this out when it comes around again next year. It would be nice if it was done at a cooler time in the year as it is all outdoor. There was a lot of construction going on and the elevators did not work. Mostly luxury high end stores and a few restaurants. Nice to walk around and browse or shop. read more

So here I am again with the dot, dot, dot.... super rich. Aka you see it in the car parking sections with all these elaborate cars. Anyway - THIS place is gorgeous, sleek, sexy, and most probably out of your league stores expensive wise, unless you are filthy rich/ drunk/someone's sugar daddy g/f...you get the drift. After spending time here, you start to think that dropping a 1,000 dollars for this or that (mainly clothes), that it's not that much!!! Then its time to leave people. I could do so much with a 1,000 dollars... 1/ save so many animals that are homeless, 2? donations to a good charity, 3/ hell, take my family members out x 10 or even 12 for the price. However I spent a few hours here and was lulled into their world of plastic fantastic. The ladies restrooms are delightful for a pubic toilet! Clean and dreamy for a mall...ie open to the public, like you are inside a very nice exclusive hotel/ restaurant. They have koi fish and turtles lounging in their own designated pool areas on the ground floor. I also saw people dressed to the nines doing insta pics. Oh! and again I saw PLASTIC FANTASTIC.... aka bad face lifts, lip implants, botox, boob..... you get the drift, female and male, its Miami bro', what do you expect! I enjoyed my time there and scuttled off home, wrinkles and all!!! LOL read more

Cant afford anything here but it's still a pretty nice place to walk around. Right now they have some kind of art and garden exhibit that was pretty cool. It's an outdoor mall but with all the shade, water features and fans, it feels more like the shopping area of a ultra fancy resort Parking is a bit of a nightmare right now cause they closed one entrance but we found a spot pretty quickly I guess this is a good mall to see the "Rich & Famous" cause we ran into Rick Ross the Boss standing by himself outside Hillstone read more

This is one nice open-air mall. Many high fashion designers here. It's not that long of a mall, but it has three floors, the top not having much. I like the fish and turtles in the ponds; very cool. I don't like how many of the stores have sales staff just looking outside waiting to prey on you--talk about intimidating. I'm sure they're not all like that, but it's still not that inviting. Neiman Marcus is an anchor store, but it feels like it's in need of an overhaul. read more

The day started with a few clouds, so when the beach is doubtful you go shopping and when you're in Miami Beach you head to Bal Harbour Shops. For those who don't know, Bal Harbour opened in 1976 and was the first shopping center in the world to include both a Saks Fifth Avenue store and a Neiman Marcus store. In 1978, the fifth Gucci store in the United States opened at Bal Harbour Shops. All the world's most coveted brands have outposts in this tony spot. While Bal Harbour Shops has consistently ranked first in retail sales for shopping centers in the United States, the International Council of Shopping Centers named Bal Harbour Shops the world's top-producing shopping center, based on square footage. So, if you want to know about the latest fashion trends, a walk around this exclusive shopping mecca will enlighten you. Here's what today's must haves include: Maxi Dresses, distressed denim and lots of pink and coral abounded. Big chunky shoes for both women and men were everywhere. Of note, Saks has (in stock) the largest Croc style shoes you've ever seen for men by BALENCIAGA. The hefty shoes will set you back $950.00 but think how stylish you'll look while running errands or even gardening! As always, the mall was a peaceful oasis of refinement that continues to lure in celebrity customers as well as, window shoppers. There is a fantastic array of restaurants and bars where customers can relax and unwind after a "hard" day of shopping and if you find yourself struggling to carry all those bags home, the malls concierge services will happily deliver or ship your purchases. After all these years, and competition from nearby malls at Merrick and Wynwood, Bal Harbour retains its irrefutable crown as the top luxury shopping destination in South Florida. read more

- Lovely place to go shopping - Lots of big brands here - Unfortunately there's only one bathroom for the entire shopping center and it's on the 2nd floor. It's also closed after about 7-8pm - The greenery makes for a great environment and they have ponds with turtles swimming around - The restaurants all looked very good and expensive - Parking is not bad at all read more

Let me start this by saying I'm by no means this mall's ideal customer. However, with that being said, this mall was still worth the visit. The window shopping was nice and there were a ton of small details for this open-air 3-story mall, like the turtles/koi ponds, fresh greenery/flowers, and amazing space design overall. There are also good restaurants for a dining experience anyone can appreciate. We had dinner at Makoto then went to Carpaccio for dessert and coffee. Overall, a fun experience ... however, it's strange they don't validate parking for eating at their restaurants. In the grand scheme of things, $4 for parking isn't bad. Just odd they don't validate for being a paying customer. read more

Money can't buy class. Yes, the Bal Harbour Shops has a lot of high end stores, but despite the amount of money going around, their is very little manners to be seen. Almost every single store had a 6'4", 320lb man guarding the front door, and as you even walked by to look, they'd stare me down. I felt intimidated to even look into one, let alone walk in. Another example; I accidentally bumped into a waiter (or he bumped into me) at Le Zoo, to which I instinctively said, "excuse me". As he turned away, he rolled his eyes without speaking a word. Classless. Rude. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. Parking is $10 per hour without validation, but if you have your parking ticket validated, it's only $1.50/hour. I got some chocolates from upstairs on the third floor, and that way I saved a few bucks on parking. It's a bit much. The A/C situation is also pretty bad, especially for a place in Florida, they need to do better. To be frank, I just didn't find this place somewhere I'd go to again. There are plenty of places you can go which are just as nice, and the workers there don't think they are hot stuff. read more

Beautifully landscaped open air shopping mall (with fans and misters to cool you even on hot Florida days), with just about every luxury store chain from around the world. The drawbacks are paying for parking and the somewhat attitudinal staff of the mall itself. First the good then the not-so...It is gorgeously landscaped with tropical foliage and modernist pools, fountains, even koi under a transparent sidewalk. Actually a fairly old shopping mall that has been updated continuously over the decades, the place retains the same glamor today it did decades ago. It can be enormously fun shopping, eating and people-watching here. Shopping runs the gamut of every swanky brand from around the globe. For the jewelry stores, there are quite friendly large guys in smart suits near the door, obviously armed security guards. The dining has improved quite a lot in recent years, with a good range of options these days. The one drawback is the parking system. Perhaps it is elitism, but why have a paid parking deck in a non-congested area? Especially if you have stores selling things priced higher than a new luxury car? Validated parking ticket only gets you a discount, not free parking HUH?Even cheap ole' Joe isn't that much of a nickle-and-dimer, and that seems annoying enough to drive an extra half mile to Aventura. Logistically it's silly too, causing back-ups at peak times in and out off busy streets. read more

Nice high end mall near Miami Beach. Good shopping and good restaurants. Went to Aba for dinner and then walked it off with some shopping.

Love this place too much! Went shopping with my husband and the boutiques are great! Bvlagri was one of my favourite places to shop the selections were wide and they are very attentive to you. Not once did I every feel left out while shopping here. Chopard was also a great place to shop Amanda made my experience extra special and Lucia from bvlagri was extra welcoming and was patient with my purchase and custom needs. I also got a few things from Alexander McQueen I'll probably be biased here but what's not to love about Alexander McQueen. Elizabeth was my personal attended we were looking for weeding suits and she flew them in straight from Las Vegas and had a seamstress ready on the spot.

The Bal Harbour Shops has such lush and beautiful landscaping! I love how peaceful and serene this small open air mall feels, until you look at the price tags in the stores. Be sure to check out the koi ponds here too! You do need to pay to park here, but I believe shops will validate your ticket if you spend a certain amount. My happiest memory here was when I came for the first time in 2010 on a vacation to South Florida and scored my very first designer bag purchase! If you love designer handbags, you will enjoy Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Fendi, Gucci, and more. It's fun to just LOOK! I've only been here a couple of times since moving to Fort Lauderdale, but the beauty of this spot always amazes me! I don't come too much because my budget is more Coach Outlet than Chanel. There are 3 main spots in South Florida for high end shopping: 1. Here 2. Design District in Miami 3. Palm Beach's Worth Avenue Of the 3, I personally prefer Worth Avenue, it's basically a Rodeo Drive by the sea with beautiful architecture. read more

This mall is so interesting, definitely high end so if you're into that kinda thing. I came for Books and Books. I'm glad there's a location here. Parking was kind of strange so I had to park on the street and walk over. Hopefully they get that fixed soon. I'm happy to see there's a lot of people shopping today but keeping their distance and wearing masks. I'll definitely come back soon but maybe when it's less hot (it's an outdoor mall). The Koi pond and all the plants are really inviting. I think I'll grab an ice cream from Bianco to cool off! Happy Sunday! read more

This is a very, very fancy shopping center. It's a well-known shopping plaza in the heart of Bal Harbor known for amazing designers, dreamy fashion, and high price tags! Parking is super easy- pull up, press button, and take a ticket. Drive into the parking garage, and go for it. I've never seen it so crowded that I couldn't find parking on the first floor. It's always super easy! If you do decide to dine at one of the fine establishments here, don't forget to have your parking validated. It won't be free, but it will be discounted! We love the Houston's located here, as well as Makoto- a super high end sushi place. Both are a worthy splurge! Shopping departments like Saks abs Neimens are inside, in addition to the Fifth Avenue-esque stores. Rolex, Gucci, LV, YSL, etc. It's all here! The Saks does have a nice sale section and I have found many good deals inside. The atmosphere is outside, so if it's raining, it might not be the best day to come. They have large koi ponds, and a stunning tropical landscape. It's truly a beautiful place to look it! read more

Great service they closed the store down for me while I shopped and gave me champagne. I will be honest I don't like really bright or hideous clothing that most designer stores have but Dolce & Gabbana have a lot of elegant clothing and shoes. I really liked the Italian sculptures and the layout of the store. In Tampa they do not have a D&G store so when I travel to Miami I always pass by to grab a few things. D&G needs to come to Tampa! Tampa has 2 designer stores Gucci and Loui V but they are super tiny and barely have stock of anything you want. read more
