POINT OF INTEREST

Dolphin Mall

11401 NW 12th St., Miami, Florida

As a premier shopping and entertainment hub just a stone's throw from Miami, Dolphin Mall is the place to find some of the best deals on brand-name apparel. There are more than 200 stores here—like Calvin Klein, Banana Republic, and Tommy Hilfiger—plus plentiful dining options, valet parking, and the family-friendly CMX Cinemas Dolphin 19.

While there's no shortage of shopping opportunities in Miami, you'll find the best deals at Dolphin Mall. The mall has hundreds of stores offering everything from clothing to electronics, with steep discounts at premium shops, fast fashion retailers, and luxury outlets. You can book a shopping tour or stylist-led outing to enjoy shopping with round-trip Miami travel or hop in the car for a day of retail therapy, dinner, and a movie.

  • Visit the information booth to pick up a discount book, which has special deals just for tourists.
  • The mall offers diverse dining options, from Latin American cuisine and gelato to popular coffee chains.
  • Download the Dolphin Mall iOS app for updates about events and an at-a-glance retail directory.
  • The mall has ATMs, a play area for kids, valet parking, and luggage storage.

Dolphin Mall is located just west of Miami, and parking here can be tricky. To avoid the hassle, you can book a shopping tour from Downtown Miami or Miami Beach; some tours even offer gift vouchers. If you're planning a shopping trip before your flight home, consider a ride on the Grayline Shuttle Service, which runs from Dolphin Mall directly to Miami International Airport. The number 7 bus connects directly to downtown.

The mall is open seven days a week. You can visit over the weekend to enjoy live music in Ramblas Plaza, but expect more crowds then. A Tuesday visit is ideal for a movie night, since you can save with discounted tickets and refreshments.

Beyond the great deals at Dolphin Mall, you can also find excellent shopping without ever leaving Miami Beach. One of the premier destinations is Lincoln Road, an outdoor shopping area with dozens of brand-name retailers just a short stroll from Collins Avenue. Grab a snack at one of the numerous cafés, detour to the nearby Miami Beach Botanical Garden, and end your shopping day with a walk along picturesque Ocean Drive.
