This isn’t Miami. This is Bal Harbour Village. A serene enclave north of Miami Beach where you can’t help but slow down and soak in the sun—whether from its pristine sandy beaches or lounging poolside at one of its premier luxury hotels, like The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort or The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami. Whether you’re coming from afar for the legendary beauty and glamour this storied village has to offer, or planning a mini-break closer to home, we’ve put together an itinerary—complete with packing list—to make your journey all the more memorable.

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort is practically the beating heart of this beachfront destination. If you want to start your trip in the most magical of manners, book the exquisite 4-course menu experience under the stars, crafted by Executive Chef Adrian Colameco, served oceanside on Bal Harbour Beach with a delightful wine pairing. (Reservations required.) After dinner, take in a night cap at the famed St. Regis Bar where live music sets the mood for its exclusive selection of the world’s finest wines and spirits.
