Late Morning: Shopping at The Royal Poinciana Plaza

Now it’s time for some retail therapy. Stroll through the Royal Poinciana Plaza, a stunning open-air shopping destination designed by architect John Volk in 1957. Its Regency-style architecture and lush courtyards create a refined atmosphere, allowing you to truly experience the essence of Palm Beach Island.

Sip on your to-go coffee from Sant Ambroeus while relaxing at one of the outdoor tables. Browse luxury boutiques like Zimmermann, Zadig & Voltaire, Cartier, Hermès, and many more.

Lunch at Pizza al Fresco

Then, head to the iconic Worth Avenue, known for its Mediterranean-inspired ambiance and luxury boutiques. Because if you haven’t been to Worth Avenue, you haven’t been to Palm Beach!

Start with lunch at Pizza al Fresco. This cozy spot nestled in a charming courtyard is ideal for an intimate gathering with your besties. Order a thin-crust pizza while soaking in the elegant surroundings.

Pro Tip: Hidden among the fronds of Pizza Al Fresco’s courtyard, you’ll find the only cemetery in Palm Beach, or actually a pet cemetery. One of the two graves belongs to the spider monkey Johnnie Brown, architect Addison Mizner’s famous pet. Johnnie became famous in Palm Beach around the 1920s, as he made his way around the island on the shoulder of Mizner.

Afternoon: Shopping on Worth Avenue

Post-lunch, explore every corner of Worth Avenue and its enchanting vias, like Via Mizner, Via Roma, and Via Parigi. Marvel at the designs by architect Mizner and snap some Insta-worthy photos along the way. Indulge in luxury shopping at high-end stores such as Gucci, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, and Ferragamo. And don’t miss the iconic Lilly Pulitzer store, a brand that simply screams “Palm Beach.”

Stroll to the end of the avenue to admire the exclusive Everglades Club, a private social club shrouded in mystery: no signs, no website, no Wi-Fi, and no cell phones!

Pro tip: If you’re visiting between November and April, join the Historical Walking Tour of Worth Avenue led by historian Rick Rose. This 75-minute tour, available every Wednesday from November 20 to April 20 (excluding Christmas and New Year’s Day), offers fascinating insights into the avenue’s history and famous residents.

Pair your meal with a wine from their extensive selection or indulge in a handcrafted cocktail. As the evening unfolds, enjoy live entertainment that adds a chic flair to your night.

Night: Party at Cucina Palm Beach

Still with energy? Head to Cucina Palm Beach on Royal Poinciana Way. On Fridays and Saturdays, this stylish spot transforms into a lively nightclub. Sip on craft cocktails and dance the night away with your besties.

Located just a five-minute drive from The Colony and Palm House Hotel, Cucina Palm Beach is the perfect place to let loose and end your fabulous day.
