Luxury enthusiasts, prepare to be delighted. The Bal Harbour Shops, a haven of luxury nestled in the affluent village enclave just outside Miami Beach, Florida, is extending its unmatched shopping experience to customers across the US with the prestigious Bal Harbour Shops Access Pop-Up. This rare opportunity to explore and shop from the world’s finest in luxury fashion, accessories, jewelry, and more debuted in November 2023 at North Hills in Raleigh, North Carolina, followed by a limited-run event in Sarasota, Florida, and is set to launch in early summer at Grand Boulevard Town Center in Miramar Beach, Florida.

With over ninety luxury fashion brands, six stellar restaurants, and an open-air courtyard filled with verdant palm trees and sparkling ponds of colorful koi fish, Miami’s Bal Harbour Shops has been a beloved shopping destination since its debut in 1965. The BHS Access Pop-Up mirrors that experience through a one-of-a-kind temporary plaza designed to look and feel like the iconic high-end location. The pop-up rotates brands throughout its limited-run events so guests who become members can sip, shop, and dine while browsing various luxury stores not typically available in their area, including Tiffany & Co., Assouline, Balmain, Golden Goose, and many more.

Its ample, seamless indoor-outdoor space and breezy palm-framed courtyard personify the luxe lifestyle, idyllic charm, and al fresco environment of the Shops’ flagship Miami location

The BHS Access Pop-Up also includes its signature standalone fine-dining restaurant, The Whitman. This dining experience has been exclusively designed and created for the temporary pop-ups. Customers can stop by for brunch, lunch, dinner, and gourmet desserts from the chef-curated menu. Several exclusive events will be held throughout the pop-up’s limited event run at Grand Boulevard, hosted by local groups, nonprofits, and influencers. With a nod to the heritage of the past, the restaurant has drawn on the history of the Whitman family, who owned a luxury Miami Beach hotel in the 1940s named The Whitman by the Sea.

The Whitman seats up to 150 people and features a full bar and lounge, bringing the iconic dining experience of the Bal Harbour Shops to life. Its ample, seamless indoor-outdoor space and breezy palm-framed courtyard personify the luxe lifestyle, idyllic charm, and al fresco environment of the Shops’ flagship Miami location.

The restaurant is operated by Constellation Culinary Group, which manages culinary services at venues such as Carnegie Hall, the Perez Art Museum in Miami, and the New York Botanical Garden. Constellation’s culinary experts update the menu according to the season to provide an elevated dining experience in a stunning and stylish environment.
