Yet, it is a city that doesn\u2019t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, just adding to its illustrious heritage. And this is the real beauty of Miami. The chic Surf Club and the vibrant Faena Hotel did not replace the emblematic Raleigh of the 1940s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 50s, rather they complement them. Classics like Joe\u2019s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare to sell-out crowds each night, as new establishments attract with name chefs. The iconic art deco architecture remains on full display as the modern Herzog & de Meuron-designed Perez Art Museum stands in stark contrast. Replete with arts and culture year round from the international art at The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls, each December, the city is taken over by the global cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors who turn out for the momentous art, such as Maurizio Cattelan\u2019s show stopping \u201cComedian\u201d, and the exuberant festivities hosted each evening. Well-known for its nightlife, pleasure is a focal point of Miami life at all times. Yachts and recreational boats line its marinas, lively beaches offer front row seats to a parade of bronzed revelers, and bladers and bikers coast along its beach front promenades. Miami has become the hub for everything chic, fiery and colorful. Miami Beach takes the readers on a tour of this bold and wonderous metropolis.","availableForSale":true,"vendor":"ASSOULINE","tags":["Active-Product","badge-best-seller","badge::Back in Stock","badge::Currently Unavailable","badge::Pre-Order","book","Home","home goods","live-rates","omit:zest","Online Store","selection","Travel Series"],"publishedAt":"2025-08-15T20:16:35Z","images":{"edges":[{"node":{"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/3815\/3898\/files\/miami-beach-assouline-1.jpg?v=1757305890"}},{"node":{"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0530\/3815\/3898\/files\/miami-beach-assouline-2.jpg?v=1757305890"}}]},"priceRange":{"maxVariantPrice":{"amount":"105.0"},"minVariantPrice":{"amount":"105.0"}},"options":[{"name":"Title","values":["Default Title"]}],"totalInventory":13,"collections":{"edges":[{"node":{"title":"All Products","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/267342151850"}},{"node":{"title":"Home","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/284779315370"}},{"node":{"title":"Assouline","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/313208930474"}},{"node":{"title":"Active - In Stock","id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/Collection\/328748269738"}}]},"variants":{"edges":[{"node":{"id":"gid:\/\/shopify\/ProductVariant\/45365096087722","sku":"9781614289524","compareAtPriceV2":null,"priceV2":{"amount":"105.0"}}}]}}
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.
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.
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.
The diamonds in “An Affair to Remember,” courtesy of Graff, are significant for several reasons. It’s our Diamond Anniversary, of course, and what affair is complete without the exchange of some jewelry? But also, the brands at Bal Harbour Shops are a concentration of the world’s most celebrated houses, offering the most coveted jewels. Today, 20 fine jewelry and watch brands hold court at Bal Harbour Shops; a dazzling collection indeed, and the precious pieces tucked inside those glimmering cases represent milestones, birthdays, goals achieved, and dreams still to come.
