It is a huge mall just outside LA to the north. Where all the locals go shopping and all the usual suspects can be found there, as well as great eating options. It is the sort of place you imagine when you think of an American mall - much better than the (outside) Grove though, admittedly, a drive away.

On the way back to LA you can cut left and drive back down Mulholland Drive as well.

There are two malls you should definitely go to for a nice (and long) day of shopping: Bal Harbour Shops and the Aventura Mall. Bal Harbour is the Bond Street of Miami, where you’ll find the you-need-money shops like Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co and Saks Fifth Avenue. Have a drink in the fancy restaurant on the ground floor after you’ve finished shopping, Mister Moneymaking Miami might be sitting just next to you…

The Aventura Mall on the other hand has got more affordable shops, and when I say ‘shops’ I mean lots of them. Over 250 stores are housed in this 2.3m square foot indoor ‘walmalla’. High street stores like Gap, Banana Republic and Zara are accompanied by Abercrombie & Fitch, Victoria’s Secret, Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s and a whole range of other must-see shops.

Bal Harbour Shops: 9700 Collins Avenue, FL 33154; tel: 305 866 0311; Aventura Mall: 19501 Biscayne Boulevard, N Miami Beach; tel: (305) 935 1110

For both malls, take the S bus from Miami Beach
