Nominated Again: Aventura Mall for Best Mall 2026

Named Best Mall in the United States in last year’s USA TODAY’S 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards, Aventura Mall returns to the national stage once again, as voting is officially open for 2026. Aventura Mall is one of just 20 shopping destinations nominated nationwide — and the only one in South Florida to make the list. 

The recognition, awarded by USA TODAY readers, reflects more than scale—it speaks to a point of view. At Aventura Mall, retail is approached as experience: layered, intentional, and constantly evolving.  

Set between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, the destination unfolds across more than 300 boutiques and over 50 dining concepts, where global fashion houses meet emerging designers, and where a casual afternoon can easily turn into something more immersive. Throughout, the ARTS Aventura Mall Collection introduces moments of pause with more than 25 large-scale works that bring a sense of culture and curiosity into the rhythm of the day. 

This past year only reinforced that vision. Eataly marked its Florida debut, introducing a distinctly Italian approach to dining and gathering, with experiential neighbor CAMP adding a family-driven, interactive layer to that destination. The retail landscape was further elevated by the arrival of luxury houses Prada and Dior, underscoring Aventura Mall’s position on the global fashion stage. Together with recent arrivals including Massimo Dutti, SKIMS, Rivian, and Charlotte Tilbury, the momentum continues to build. Looking ahead, the announcement of CELINE, UNIQLO, Bershka, Missoni, and more reflects a carefully curated pipeline that balances luxury, accessibility, and cultural relevance. 

As the new voting period begins, the moment feels less like a campaign and more like a continuation. A reflection of a place that, year after year, invites discovery in ways that feel both personal and distinctly of-the-moment. Vote here through June 1, 2026, at 12 p.m. ET.
