Must-Have Experiences

Become king or queen for the day with some outdoor Zen at the Forbes Five-Star Eau Spa at Eau Palm Beach. Test your balance with a private stand-up paddleboard yoga session—or yeauga, as the resort calls it. The 75-minute practice is set afloat on the soothing sea, with only mermaids as your audience. You’ll come back salty, stretched and stronger than you left. At Boca Raton Resort & Club’s luxuriously appointed, guest-only Waldorf Astoria Spa, unwind by splitting time between mineral baths and inhalation rooms for an unforgettable spa escape.

Don your fanciest frock and partake in the elegant Sunday Brunch tradition on The Pavilion at the International Polo Club Palm Beach, secluded out west amidst the horse ranches and sprawling green acres of Wellington, a famed equestrian destination. Feel the rush of polo ponies stampeding by as you indulge in an array of dishes (think full raw bar, carving stations, dessert spreads and more) and sip on a sparkling glass of Veuve Clicquot. Come in the “chilly” months to enjoy 12 weeks of equine competitions during the Winter Equestrian Festival.

Tee off at any of The Palm Beaches’ award-winning links. With a selection of renowned golf courses at resorts such as PGA National Resort & Spa—where The Honda Classic tournament is held each spring—and The Breakers Palm Beach, it’s no wonder the region is considered Florida’s Golf Capital. Beloved for its location between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal, the Palm Beach Par 3 Golf Course is cooled by sea breezes and offers watery views as you work on perfecting your short game. The area’s accompanying tropical climate makes The Palm Beaches a hole-in-one destination no matter what time of year.

Charter a yacht or sailboat from Lots of Yachts for a memorable day on the water. Whether you opt to sightsee, fish, snorkel, search for wild dolphins or simply toast the sunset and enjoy a long drink of la dolce vita, cruising The Palm Beaches while a dedicated crew attends to your every need is a must.

Shop for one-of-a-kind hot rods at the annual Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction, where collector cars and rare exotic makes hit the auction block to find a new home with lucky bidders. Or browse more than $1.2 billion worth of mega-yachts at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in West Palm Beach. Book the VIP Experience for a premium open bar, hors d’oeuvres, concierge service and indoor-outdoor lounge seating.

Enjoy the best of Palm Beach culture at the Society of the Four Arts, where art, music, literature  and  drama convene to create a lively ongoing schedule of exhibitions, lectures, concerts, educational programs and more. If you need some fresh air after a hearty dose of cultural enrichment, head outside to the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden, a three-acre showcase of South Florida’s exotic flora and fauna with 23 large sculptures sprinkled throughout the grounds.
