At the quieter northern end of Miami Beach, The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour offers a more residential expression of the city’s luxury resort scene. Suites are notably spacious and many open to sweeping views of the ocean, Intracoastal Waterway or city. The elevated pool deck, beach service and spa create a self-contained atmosphere above Collins Avenue, while Bal Harbour Shops are close at hand. The property feels removed from South Beach’s intensity, yet Miami’s design, dining, art and shopping neighbourhoods remain accessible by car.
