Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach.

Occupying the island’s most expansive private stretch of sand, this resort trades the standard high-rise aesthetic for a more intimate, residential feel. Housed in a stately Italian Renaissance-style building, the interiors were reimagined by Martin Brudnizki to reflect a breezy, tropical elegance using soft palettes and hand-painted frescoes. The 207 rooms include ground-floor suites that open directly toward the Atlantic, blurring the line between a hotel stay and a private coastal home. Dining is anchored by Florie’s, where Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco focuses on open-fire cooking, while the casual Seaway serves local seafood under a canopy of seagrape trees. It is a place designed for a slower pace, balancing active beach days with a polished, thirty-year legacy of service.
