Nestled on a private peninsula next to legendary Miami Beach, Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour is a true oasis of calm on the Atlantic Ocean. Offering the very best in hospitality, this five-star hotel promises a unique, immersive experience for all the senses with its own sophisticated signature.
A new definition of exceptional is what you can expect from your Bal Harbour experience. Ideally located in the exclusive Bal Harbour neighbourhood, this resort offers memorable stays in a beach paradise. It’s one of the city’s most popular, with gorgeous facilities that complement the beauty of the location, rivalled only by the quality of the boutiques, restaurants and galleries in and around the hotel.
Standing out among this extraordinary hotel’s perks is its attention to every detail. Relaxation areas, living spaces, upscale dining, a spa and many calming amenities have been designed to the highest standards for a refined and friendly atmosphere. The breathtaking rooms and suites are situated on their own semi-private floors. The terraces overlooking the Atlantic and luscious gardens immediately invoke a feeling of vacation escape. After a swim in the sea, a sunbathing session or some serious thalassotherapy, relaxation is guaranteed in a resort cabana or luxe beach bed. The magical setting also inspires an appetite for fun, and the chefs, sommeliers and bartenders here provide satisfying offerings for all tastes.
A delight for the eyes and tastebuds
Bal Harbour is a culinary hotspot and the resort is a gastronomic destination in itself, with three options in particular that will appeal to the even the most exacting palates. Artisan Beach House offers quintessential Floridian seafood worthy of the Ritz-Carleton name in a sumptuously decorated dining room. Water’s Edge serves al fresco oceanside cocktails and local specialties. And the Gold Standard Omakase tasting offers the ultimate in indulgence. This must-try dining experience includes 15 courses showcasing masterfully prepared sushi. It includes the freshest seafood, fish and toppings, and of course, internationally renowned Wagyu beef, exclusively sourced from local producers.
