Bal Harbour.
The town of Bay Harbor Islands is located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Once used as a United States Air Corps training facility during World War II, Bal Harbour Village is now one of the wealthiest areas in Miami-Dade. Here, two elegant beachfront hotels overlook miles of sandy beaches. And within walking distance is one of the area's primary shopping attractions, the Bal Harbour Shops, a collection of upscale stores and boutiques that draws shoppers from around the world. The mall has a garden setting and open-air design. The largest Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Florida have installed boutiques and shops that represent the top names in jewelry, fashion, and more - such as Bvlgari, Cartier, Fendi, Gianni Versace, Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Charles Jourdan, Ermenegildo, Zegna, and Escada.
Bal Harbour is an excellent place for leisure, as evidenced by the neighborhood spas, where patrons can partake in such health and beauty treatments as massage, aromatherapy, hand and foot therapy, body wraps, facials, hair care, manicures, and pedicures.
The restaurants at Bal Harbour Shops and the village's two resorts offer a multitude of diverse cuisines, including Argentine, Continental, Italian, seafood, sushi, and New Miami World cuisine. Patrons can dine indoors or outdoors, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean or in an elegant dining room.
The Town of Bay Harbor Islands has one of the lowest crime rates in Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida, thanks to its incredible police department. Evening social events are held twice a year organized and run by the Town's Police Department.
Every day of the week there is something happening in the seaside Bal Harbour Village, due in part to its location in the middle of everything that has made South Florida famous. Just minutes south is Miami Beach's famous Art Deco District, with its sidewalk cafes, nightclubs, and seaside promenade. It's the place-to-be in South Florida. Five minutes north is Haulover Beach Marina, where you can see drift-fishing boats return with their "catch of the day" and at the same time catch a glimpse of some of the world's most glamorous yachts. There are also tropical gardens, museums, and antique shops nearby just waiting to be explored.
