Bal Harbour Shops

Opened in 1965 by retail visionary Stanley Whitman, the family-owned Bal Harbour Shops was the first all-luxury fashion center in America featuring high-end retailers in a tropical, open-air setting. Bal Harbour Shops has been an icon of luxury retail, home to over 100 of the world’s most coveted brands, including Chanel, Gucci, Prada, and Valentino. The first to make lush landscaping a key part of the design, Bal Harbour Shops features tropical plants and orchids, waterfall features and koi ponds and a variety of palm trees for shade. The historic Bal Harbour Shops, known for its curated retail as well as the emotional connection to its tenants and customers, is the global leader in luxury shopping destinations.
