The Breakers, Palm Beach

Location

When the golden sands stop on Palm Beach’s shorelines, the palatial neoclassic mansions start. As America’s third-wealthiest city, home to over 20 billionaires, expect exclusive shopping, boozy lunches and world-class restaurants. The Breakers itself is situated on 140 sun-drenched acres overlooking turquoise waters and its own private beach.

Accommodation

The Breakers blends contemporary design with distinctive, classic style inspired by its tropical oceanfront location. Guestrooms look out over the resort’s swimming pools, manicured grounds and courtyard, or private step-out balconies offer oceanfront views. Signature Suites come with similarly breathtaking views, Personal Concierges Services and private living rooms. For those looking for a more intimately tailored experience, the Flager Club is a contemporary boutique hotel of just 25 rooms tucked away on two restricted floors. As the Breakers’ most exclusive offering, rooms are filled with such luxuries as 55” curved TVs, adjustable beds and soft Italian linens while chauffeured transportation, spa-like marble bathrooms and Atlantic views add to the indulgence. It’s the best of both worlds, with complete access to the resort’s amenities balanced against complimentary club floor offerings. Enjoy fine dining gourmet breakfasts, sunset terrace cocktails and hors d’oeuvres best taken with island views. 

Dining

With eight restaurants ranging from fine cocktail party dining to relaxed Sunday brunch settings, you’ll be spoilt for choice. HMF, the resort’s number one drinking & dining experience, is a glamorous ode to Palm Beach’s golden era serving precisely crafted dishes. If you’re looking for local fare, all restaurants make good use of the Atlantic’s bounty with excellent seafood dishes, not least at the oceanfront Beach Club Restaurant where you can dine al fresco. Head to the aptly named Italian Restaurant or, if you’re feeling particularly indulgent, there’s the high ceilings and decadent offerings of The Circle at breakfast time. In between, the resort features Pan-Asian cuisine at Echo and that time-proved American favourite, the newly renovated Flagler Steakhouse.

Facilities

The St.Tropez inspired Mediterranean style Beach Club does a good job of luring you away from the resort’s facilities to relax within its five oceanfront acres. Sip cocktails by one of the four sparkling pools, catch some rays on the half-mile of private beach or book into a private poolside bungalow, the perfect springboard to the myriad of watersports on offer. Featuring ten tennis courts, two 18-hole championship-level golf courses, Family Entertainment Center for the little ones complete with arcade & teen lounge, a stunning new 6,000 sq. ft. indoor/outdoor Ocean Fitness center, and a newly transformed indoor/outdoor spa, equipped with hair & nail salon sure to embrace guests with a fresh, soothing atmosphere that engages all senses, and 11 world-class shopping boutiques, The Breakers is the quintessential luxury beachfront vacation of a lifetime for the whole family.
