Bal Harbour Shops has been the scene of many a love affair. Yours may have been a solo outing, or the tender moments shared amongst family—dining at Carpaccio, or feeding the koi in our pond. Maybe it’s the place you go when you need to stroll, feel inspired, or where you reward yourself on the most special of occasions.
Whatever the reason you come back to visit, there was a first time that left an imprint.
Comment below and share your Love at First Visit story.
Inside the Scene: The Run-in
Our story comes to its dramatic close. The two collide, and what’s revealed? A love note that reads “It was love at first visit.” (That message is a wink to a 1960s ad with the tagline: “It’s love at first sight of Bal Harbour Shops.”)
It is at that moment that our male protagonist realizes the notes weren’t from a secret paramour... If only he knew that all he had to do was share her with Bal Harbour Shops.
Inside the Scene: The Arrival
Not only is the arrival scene the climax of the film—the dashing young man setting out to find the interloper who’s sending his partner love notes—but it also places one of the Shops’ most iconic visual elements at center stage. The porte-cochère is the arrival moment designed 60 years ago, that is still as impactful today.
How do you arrive in style?
