Your day begins in the penthouse suite at 10203 Collins Avenue LPH 2701, Bal Harbour, a sky estate spanning 7,774 square feet. This 2017 build has been completely renovated and never-lived-in, presented with Minotti and top Italian furnishings. With 5 bedrooms and 7 baths, it offers ample space, including 4 spacious suites, an impeccable office, a study, and dedicated staff quarters.
During the week, convenience is key. Haulover Beach and Bal Harbour Shops are both about a 3-minute drive from your door. For more extensive retail therapy, Aventura Mall is approximately an 8-minute drive away. When business calls, the Miami Beach Convention Center is about a 13-minute drive, ensuring easy access to city events.
Dining out offers a range of experiences. You might head to Calle Ocho in Little Havana for Cuban coffee, croquetas, and the lively atmosphere of Viernes Culturales. For a more upscale evening, the Miami Design District features chef-driven rooms and courtyard cafés amidst luxury shopping blocks. Another excellent choice is KYU, known for its wood-fired Asian-inspired sharing plates in an industrial Wynwood setting.
For a dose of culture, the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) offers contemporary art on Biscayne Bay, complete with hanging gardens and a terrace restaurant. Explore the vibrant street art of Wynwood Walls & Arts District, surrounded by galleries, breweries, and taco windows, especially lively during Second Saturday events. History and beauty combine at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, a 1916 bayfront villa with formal Italian gardens, often described as the most photographed estate in Miami.
Nature is never far. Crandon Park & Bill Baggs Cape Florida offer calm, shallow waters, a historic lighthouse, and picnic groves, promising an ideal beach day. Crandon Park Beach itself boasts two miles of calm water, picnic areas, and shaded parking near its Nature Center. At the southern tip of Key Biscayne, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park features a historic lighthouse, quiet beaches, and bike paths.
Weekends are for family and exploration. You can take the children to the Miami Children's Museum on Watson Island, where they can explore a pretend supermarket, bank, cruise ship, and music studio. For active fun, Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Miami offers dodgeball, foam pits, and toddler jump times on weekday mornings. An evening at Lucky Strike Bowling (Miami) provides upscale lanes, arcade games, and a full menu, conveniently located near the Design District.
