There are many things to consider when planning a great vacation for the whole family. No one wants to sacrifice the desires they have taken for granted. Deep relaxation, stunning beauty, luxury and pampering for you. Fun in the sun for the kids, ice cream on the go. This is something that Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa fully understands and delivers to perfection.
Located on Florida’s southern coast known as the Gold Coast, the resort is technically located in Manalapan, a quiet and upscale area not far from Palm Beach, and is all about wellness. Guests have access to a variety of swimming options, including family-friendly and adults-only pools and a seven-acre beach with access to the ocean, a well-equipped gym offering a variety of classes, and several outdoor spaces where you can soak up the soothing effects of the sun and sea.
The hotel itself hints at the Mediterranean in its architecture, taking full advantage of its beautiful surroundings, with the blue-green waters always in view. Upon entering the grand lobby, your eyes are drawn to the endless horizon. Interior designer Jonathan Adler overhauled the aesthetic when the resort transitioned from a Ritz-Carlton hotel in 2013. His approach to the rooms is a mix of classic Palm Beach, Capri and Santorini, embodied in the brightest combination of clean white linens, metallic wallpaper, vintage photographs and light details like embroidered “Palm Beach” pillows. From the generously sized standard rooms to the luxurious Lanai Terrace Suites, all rooms have private balconies or decks with views of the ocean, pool or gardens. The design is luxurious, but comfortable and without feeling precious or intangible.
If you are traveling with family, this is key. The resort is a playground for all ages, with plenty to keep younger guests thoroughly entertained, so any parent can make the most of their vacation (aka a visit to Eau Spa—read more here). A very dynamic children's club is available for younger children as well as a separate youth area with a 24-hour arcade.
While you’re here, the dining options cater to a variety of tastes. The open-air restaurant Breeze Ocean Kitchen is where you want to enjoy beachside cuisine by the salty ocean during the day. Here, you can convince yourself that you’re sitting on the Riviera. For a special night, there’s the fine-dining restaurant Angle, for Italian food, Polpo Palm Beach, Bōken’s thoughtful omakase, and Melt ice cream parlor where you can indulge in a scoop of chocolate and fun flavors.
For relaxation and pampering, the 42,000-square-foot Eau Spa is a destination in itself. There is a steam room, sauna, large bathtub and a secret garden where guests can sip champagne among beautiful plants and soothing fountains. The treatment menu is extensive and elaborate, including standouts like The Royal Recovery, a heavenly foot scrub, head, back and foot massage, and a shea butter wrap. And Sea EAU-Listic is a full body polish and Thai massage that hits pressure points to deliver tension-free bliss. The variety of facials utilizes a highly curated, top-notch skincare lineup that includes Yon-Ka, Valmont and l'Elixir Des Glaciers.
