The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami

The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami is a boutique-style luxury resort set on a private peninsula where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Intracoastal Waterway. With only 108 rooms and just two accommodations per floor, the hotel offers an unusually private stay, with floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces, and freestanding tubs overlooking the water in every room.

Suites include gourmet kitchens and spacious living rooms, with options up to two bedrooms, while the Ritz-Carlton Suite occupies its own 18th-floor residence with panoramic terraces. Guests can unwind on the semi-private beach, at the resort pool, or in a luxury cabana, with food and drink service from Water's Edge.

Artisan Beach House serves globally inspired, seafood-forward cuisine in a waterfront setting, and Exhale spa rounds out the wellness offerings with treatments, yoga, and barre classes. The hotel sits on a private peninsula where the Atlantic meets the Intracoastal Waterway, minutes from Bal Harbour Shops, South Beach, and downtown Miami.
