Along the beachfront of Bal Harbour, Miami’s poshest neighborhood, expect to see plenty of bling and designer bikinis and bathing suits on the sparkling white sands—and don’t even think about wearing the same threads twice! Thankfully choices abound for new beachy purchases and post-swim couture at retail haven Bal Harbour Shops, an open-air mall with the likes of Vilbebrequin, Orlebar Brown, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and The Webster.

Who it’s best for: Those looking to showcase their latest beachwear and enjoy some waterfront pampering

The vibe: Summer in the Hamptons meets Rodeo Drive

Where to stay: Book a room at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort, which charms with its sleek décor and fabulous, full-service 1,000-foot white sand beach—strewn with loungers and daybeds. Note: it’s also possible to access the St. Regis’s pool and beach as a non-guest by renting an Oceanfront Day Villa (think: an air-conditioned, marble-floored cabana on steroids).
