SPA PALMERA AT THE BOCA RATON Upon completion of its multi-year, multi-phase, multi-hundred-million-dollar renovation, The Boca Raton promised to usher in a “new Golden Era” of the storied Addison Mizner–designed, once-pink hotel. And that it did. There’s not one but five luxury “hotels” at this singular, incredible resort spanning ocean to Intracoastal; however the Forbes five-star Spa Palmera is undeniably the property’s crowning jewel. Spanning 50,000 square feet and inspired by Spain’s grand Alhambra Palace, Spa Palmera boasts 44 treatment rooms plus awe-inspiring architecture, including arches, cathedral windows, exposed cedar-beam ceilings, elaborate mosaics, a two-story fireplace, a hand-painted rotunda, a lush courtyard, gardens, waterfall whirlpools, a private spa pool, and more. From ritual baths to reiki, there’s nowhere else in the Palm Beaches that offers a spa menu quite like this one. It’s over-the-top, grandiose, and opulent in the best of ways, making every guest feel like royalty—at least for the day. (Spa-trippers take note: Spa Palmera is only available to resort guests and members of The Boca Raton Club.) thebocaraton.com
