PALM BEACH
TRAVEL GUIDE
A Note from Caroline
A LOCAL’S GUIDE TO THE LATEST AND GREATEST
I moved to Palm Beach in July 2019 (read more here) and pinch myself everyday being surrounded by all the sunshine and style here. It is truly an oasis and most of the time feels like living inside a postcard. This place is filled with all of the brightest and happiest things, always exciting and inspiring me.
Over the past few years, it has been so fun to explore this town more as a local and find all the best places to eat, shop, and stay. Below I am sharing all my favorite Palm Beach spots- where to stay, what to eat, where to shop, and what to see! If you have any questions about Palm Beach or traveling here, always feel free to send me an email or DM me over on insta!
where to STAY
Brazilian Court Hotel: A great location, walkable to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. I particularly love their gorgeous courtyard restaurant + pool setting.
The Breakers: A Palm Beach classic and must visit for anyone coming to the island! The Breakers definitely has the most amenities + activities on property and their oceanfront + in town location is hard to beat.
The Colony Hotel: This hotel embodies the spirit of Palm Beach better than any other! The lobby + outdoor lounge areas are beyond charming. The newly renovated rooms + lobby are worth the visit!
Four Seasons Palm Beach: My favorite spot for a spa day! The Four Seasons was recently renovated and is a gorgeous spot if you are looking to come and relax or want a full resort feel with a beachfront location. It is located a little bit of a drive from the center of Palm Beach Island but still an amazing property that is an oasis within itself.
White Elephant Palm Beach: One of Palm Beach’s newest hotels located just around the corner from The Royal Poinciana Plaza and Via Flagler by The Breakers. This hotel has become a fun and trendy place for locals and visitors alike.
where to DINE
Al Fresco at the Par 3: you can’t beat the ocean views here, a great spot for lunch or dinner. Be sure to sit on the patio to soak it all in!
Amici Market: my favorite for grabbing quick groceries or a pizza to-go
Buccan: a *must* ! Reservations book up quickly here, so I would definitely try to reserve a table as soon as you book your stay!
Buccan Sandwich Shop: best place to grab a quick sandwich and head to the beach- or the park across the street!
Cafe Boulud: a well known Palm Beach restaurant located within The Brazilian Court Hotel. It is tucked within their dreamy courtyards and is an amazing spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Echo: the best spot for sushi and pretty drinks too!
