Nestled on the pristine beaches of Manalapan, Florida, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa is an epitome of luxury, history and elegance. This week, it’s in the spotlight as our “Hotel of the Week,” and for good reason.
A distinguished member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts Legend Collection, Eau Palm Beach has a rich history dating back to its origins as La Coquille Club in the 1950s. Back then, it was the ultimate playground for America’s elite – think the Vanderbilt, Rockefeller and Ford families – making it a storied getaway for celebrities and presidents alike. Today, the resort has evolved into a luxurious retreat that maintains its heritage of exclusivity while offering modern elegance.
Recently acquired by Larry Ellison, a name synonymous with luxury and innovation, the resort is now entering an exciting new chapter. Ellison’s commitment to maintaining the resort’s five-star reputation is evident in his vision to further enhance what is already an excellent offering. While the resort’s heritage remains intact, guests can look forward to new updates that promise to enhance their experience even further.
Why is Eau Palm Beach so special? It’s not just its history or recent change of ownership. The resort’s appeal lies in its ability to combine the charm of a classic seaside retreat with the modern comforts that today’s travelers crave. The resort’s design is a nod to the timeless elegance of Palm Beach. Rooms and suites offer stunning ocean views, private balconies and a tranquil atmosphere that puts you at ease immediately. (Note: The hotel also currently offers a Lily Pulitzer-style suite.)
Winner of awards for ten years running, Eau Spa is a sanctuary within a sanctuary. With its whimsical, garden-inspired design and range of soothing treatments, it’s no wonder the spa continues to receive accolades. Whether you’re enjoying a soothing massage, a rejuvenating facial or simply relaxing in the Self-Centered Garden, the Eau Spa experience is pure bliss.
But it’s not just about relaxation – Eau Palm Beach caters to every aspect of the luxury traveler’s needs. From its world-class restaurants showcasing the best of local and international flavors, to its comprehensive fitness center, sparkling pools and private beach, the resort ensures that every moment of your stay is infused with luxury.
The La Coquille Club, a nod to the resort’s origins, remains an exclusive haven for Manalapan residents who enjoy the resort’s year-round amenities. This connection to the past gives Eau Palm Beach a special touch, making it a unique blend of tradition and modern luxury.
