Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach was Florida's first Four Seasons, opened in 1989 on a private beach at the island's southern end, facing the Atlantic, fifteen minutes from Palm Beach International Airport. For three decades the boutique-scale resort has held AAA Five Diamond, Palm Beach's only five-star, five-diamond property. Step from your room onto white sand with no shuttle and no map; that proximity is the greatest asset. The 210 rooms and suites carry private balconies in Palm Beach beach-house style: wicker, pink and turquoise accents, refined mouldings. Cabana Terrace Rooms add expanded terraces with direct pool and beach access. Specialty suites rise to the Residential Suite, two oceanfront bedrooms, media room, pool-and-beach access, expandable to three bedrooms.
Florie's is led by Mauro Colagreco — three Michelin stars at Mirazur, once the world's best restaurant, his only US venue. Live-fire Mediterranean cuisine from an open kitchen, garden terrace beneath pergolas, Cuban trio on Thursdays. Florie's Bar shakes cocktails from the resort's citrus and herbs. Seaway sits under sea-grape trees at the sand's edge, pairing Florida seafood with Latin flavors, barefoot welcome. The Spa spans 11,000 square feet with saltwater tub, eucalyptus steam room, and Biologique Recherche treatments. The oceanfront pool heats in winter; attendants deliver towels and fresh fruit. Palm Pavilion adds putting green, basketball, billiards, and table tennis. Four Seasons Palm Beach has spent thirty years polishing the island's unhurried elegance into everyday habit.
