It’s a destination filled with luxury resorts, world class shopping, fine dining, and 47 miles of beaches along the Atlantic Ocean. Drive down the segment of A1A known as Millionaire’s Row to see extravagant mansions owned by dignitaries, celebrities and CEO’s on one side, and the sparkling sea opposite. Keep going all the way to Boca Raton, stopping at Boynton Beach and colorful Delray Beach for some east Florida charm. The Palm Beaches, established in 1834, is one of the first resort destinations in the US. It’s a place with history and fresh, vibrant energy too. There are a variety of beautiful luxury hotels to choose from; here is a selection of four top rated options mixing traditional Palm Beach with modern opulence.

  1. Excellent information, as usual. I always wanted stay at the Boca Hotel. Maybe I’ll try it now. They seem to have expanded in many ways since I was in Boca many years ago.

  2. Just weighing up a Florida break before Christmas. The weather is still pleasant at this time of the year and the shops – and houses – do a great job with their Christmas decorations though the weak pound might make Christmas shopping a bit pricey this year then again the NFL regular season is coming to a climax nothing better than watching three games back to back on a Sunday and then of course the Monday night game too.
