The Bottom Line

If you are attracted to shops that are not too easy to find, Palm Beach is perfect for you. Even though it's located on Dias Ferreira, one of Rio's best-known streets, you could easily pass up this small gated shopping gallery in the heart of hip Baixo Leblon. At the time of this writing, there's no sign over the door.

Thanks to guest Rio reporter Débora Birn for the tip about Dias Ferreira 64.

Pros
  • Charming location in a remodeled old building
  • Small shops with unique designs
  • Location on hippest Dias Ferreira in the heart of Baixo Leblon
Cons
  • Pricey
Description
Guide Review - Palm Beach, Baixo Leblon

With three floors and a handful of small shops, Palm Beach is worth a stop when you're browsing Dias Ferreira, where some of Rio's most attractive eateries are located. The shops at Palm Beach are mostly geared towars women.

If you look at Dias Ferreira 64 from across the street, you'll see some objects showing from white balconies partially hidden by a tree. But the tiny entrance suggests medical offices, and not boutiques.

The vintage building with a porter has been thoroughly remodeled and looks immaculate in white and light green. There's an inner patio with plants and the few stores are spread far apart in small rooms with wooden floors.

Shops at Dias Ferreira 64 sell exclusive styles at high prices, but you'll find some cute, unique pieces that are more affordable as well.
