Still owned by the heirs of railroad magnate and hotel developer Henry Flagler, the historic The Breakers Palm Beach is a perennial favorite among luxury visitors to Palm Beach, Florida. More than $30 million in new enhancements added to the stately property’s allure, including a full renovation of the vintage Ocean Course under the experienced eye of golf course architect Rees Jones with new green complexes and water features, plus enhanced undulations. Originally designed by Alexander H. Findlay in 1897 and remodeled by Brian Silva in 2000, the course features an augmented John Webster Golf Academy, new salt-tolerant grass turf, increased native sub-tropical landscaping and an upgraded water conservation-reverse osmosis irrigation system.

At the spa, guests can leave the world behind (at least for a bit) with new choices such as the Guerlain Black Orchid Treatment anti-aging facial with Orchidée Impériale Black Cream; and the OSEA Deep Sea Signature Facial with essential oils and nourishing, marine-based ingredients featuring wild Gigartina algae. Adding to the menu of signature therapies, the Tammy Fender Rose Quartz Massage takes place on a heated, alpha-quartz sand bed. Rose quartz singing bowls and healing vibrations are therapeutic components while skin is treated to Tammy Fender’s custom-blended, 100 percent botanical products, made with pure essence of rose. The hotel is located a mere 15 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport, and about an hour from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
