The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

On Collins Avenue at Bal Harbour, Miami Beach, The St Regis Bal Harbour Resort occupies a beachfront position in the most exclusively residential of Miami Beach’s coastal communities, where the Bal Harbour Shops — the most productive luxury retail development per square foot in the United States — and the residential towers of the barrier island’s wealthiest address give the resort a social context of concentrated luxury that distinguishes it from the more publicly engaged Miami Beach hotel landscape further south. The 243 rooms, suites, and residences were designed by Yabu Pushelberg with a palette of pale aqua and white that responds to the Atlantic light and the colour of the Florida coast’s shallow water, and the beachfront position provides the most direct available access to the Atlantic on a stretch of coast managed to the standard of Bal Harbour’s meticulously maintained public spaces.

The J&G Grill restaurant’s Jean-Georges Vongerichten programme serves contemporary international cuisine drawing on Florida’s remarkable produce diversity — the Gulf stone crab, the farm-raised Florida vegetables and tropical fruits, and the extraordinary fish culture of the southeastern Atlantic coast — in a beachfront setting of considerable elegance. The Remède Spa’s treatment programme provides comprehensive wellness in a coastal setting whose pool, beach access, and Florida outdoor lifestyle are inseparable from the spa’s proposition. The Wynwood Walls, the Design District’s architecture, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami are among the cultural destinations most frequently arranged through the concierge team for guests wishing to engage with Miami’s creative and artistic landscape beyond Bal Harbour’s self-contained luxury enclave.

The St Regis Bal Harbour’s relationship with the Florida coast environment includes participation in sea turtle nesting protection protocols on the hotel’s managed beach section and support for the Coastal Conservation Association’s advocacy for the sustainable management of Florida’s coastal fisheries.
