PALM BEACH


WHERE TO STAY



Tucked away behind tall walls of ivy, The Colony Hotel is a one of the best-kept secrets for the perfect beach getaway. Once inside the compound, guest can choose from a variation of room sizes, most of which have an ocean view. The most popular room during the winter months are the two bedroom villas located either with direct pool access or beach access.  The villas are ideal for a family or a group of couples or friends. The location of this hotel is what keeps the guest coming back. Guest can walk out the back gate of the hotel and walk across the street direct to the beach, where a cabana boy with set you up with a chair and umbrella.

WHERE TO EAT



For 30 years, this upscale restaurant has served everyone from socialites like the Hilton sisters to royalty like Prince William.  The food here is absolutely exquisite and the wine list is what sets this restaurant apart from the many other restaurants in Palm Beach. Café L’Europe is fairly pricey, but what many don’t know is that they have a prefix lunch menu for $25 and a bring your own wine Wednesdays!

WHERE TO DRINK



Nick & Johnnie’s is a great patio lounge that often has live music on the weekends and drink specials during the week. I would suggest going to Nick & Johnnie’s for happy hour or an after dinner drink. The bartenders make great sangria and cosmopolitans.

WHERE TO SHOP



Calypso, originally from St. Barth, sells eclectic women’s clothing that is ideal for a tropical beach location, like Palm Beach. My favorite pieces from Calypso are their linen beach tunics that come in every color imaginable. I also adore their soft cotton scarves and t-shirts. After every season, the store has a huge sale, usually up to 70% off, making it the perfect time to stock up on these items.
