Bal Harbour Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Bal Harbour is an upscale village that lies between Fort Lauderdale and Miami on the northern tip of Miami Beach. It’s called “the world’s most indulgent square mile” and offers unparalleled pampering, shopping and dining. The original name for the village was Bay Harbour, but when the town’s planning committee didn’t deem that appropriate – a new name was created. The “B” was taken from the word “Bay,” and the “a” and “l” were taken from Atlantic Ocean, and, hence, the word “Bal” was created. Bal Harbour Village is impeccably landscaped and pristine and small enough to easily move about on foot. The town has long been a haven for the rich and famous and is most well known for the Bal Harbour Shops – the world’s most posh collection of fashion houses (“think Rodeo Drive meets Fifth Avenue.”) The beach at Bar Harbour is lined with a variety of high-rise condos, resorts, hotels and seaside homes. The town’s section of barrier island that lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay includes ten acres of public beachfront that is complete with a walking/jogging trail. Haulover Park and Marina is just minutes away and offers fishing charters, as well as day and evening cruises with casino-style gambling. Other beach activities include swimming and snorkeling. Gourmet dining is another favorite thing to do in Bal Harbour where you’ll find everything from charming European-style restaurants to outdoor cafes. Of course, for even more exciting nightlife, head to Miami Beach where you’ll find dozens of trendy clubs and other hot spots.

Bal Harbour Weather & Climate

South Florida, in the Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables area, has the only sub tropic climate in the United States, other than Hawaii. This region is exposed to daytime onshore breezes and enjoys comfortable temperatures during most of the year. Although the temperature is relatively moderate, the combination of the temperature and high humidity can be uncomfortable from May through September. However, cooling ocean breezes help to modify the climate. In fact, it actually has fewer very hot days each summer than does the northern part of the state. In wintertime, it is one of the warmest places in the U.S. mainland, with sunny days and balmy nights. Most rain falls in summer, with frequent but brief, heavy thunderstorms. Hurricane season is generally August through October, with most occurring in September.
