The Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa is a must-visit Forbes Five-Star Palm Beach retreat on the east coast of Florida. The property features 309 guestrooms and suites, designed by Jonathan Adler, which will make you feel like you’re straight out of Slim Aarons photograph. Two oceanfront, palm-fringed swimming pools showcase luxury cabanas and are accented by lounge areas cloaked in a calm, neutral color palette and lush, tropical landscaping by EDSA to offer a relaxed Riviera vibe. A seated bar at the adults-only tranquility pool offers cold-pressed juices, cocktails and an all-day food menu or opt for a table at the al fresco dining area. The Eau Club level rooms include a private concierge, separate check‐in and check‐out area, complimentary food and beverage services during designated periods, daily pressing service and VIP pool service. Club level rooms offer a private balcony with views of the ocean or pool and gardens. The Eau Spa is 42,000 square feet of pure relaxation with luxurious spa cabanas, bathing rituals and pampering treatments and elevated food and beverage options like Polpo, Angle and Breeze Ocean Kitchen offer a variety of cuisines. Recently, Nobu Manalapan opened taking over the resort’s Boken and Stir Bar & Terrace spaces for the season. “This is the perfect location and we couldn’t feel more excited to welcome guests and locals to enjoy our acclaimed Nobu menu,” says chef Nobu Matsuhisa. Led by executive chef Matt Raso, guests can expect signature dishes like black cod with miso, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, rock shrimp tempura with creamy spicy sauce and wagyu tacos.
