What’s Special About This Resort
The luxurious atmosphere of the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Florida capitalizes on the pristine white-sand beach, the peacefulness and exclusivity of the area, and the unmatched hospitality of Four Seasons.
The amenities and service of this resort have earned it five stars and five diamonds – the only property on Palm Beach with such a title. A large outdoor pool is surrounded by plenty of palm tree-shaded beach chairs, where fine cocktails and snacks can be brought straight to you.
Two highly acclaimed restaurants, a beautiful spa, and sports facilities make it so you never really have to leave, but the many golf courses, dining outlets, and social events of Palm Beach aren’t more than a few minutes away.
Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach is not an all-inclusive resort, but it definitely deserves a spot on our list as one of Florida’s best resorts. You should definitely book a bed and breakfast package, and perhaps review the offers page for rate packages that include dining and spa credits.

➞ What to Do
Most guests coming to the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach are searching for the waterside relaxation that this place gets just right. There are several acres of quiet, white-sand shoreline with calm seas and private seating areas. You can also choose a spot around the sparkling swimming pool, where you’ll be offered garden-inspired cocktails, sunscreen, aloe gel, and sunglass cleaning service at your seat.
The Palm Beach Spa is a way to take your relaxing stay even further, with ocean-inspired massages, facials, and other wellness treatments. Guests can also take part in beach yoga, whether in a daily group session or in private, and enjoy salon services for nails and hair.
Golfers can find the Palm Beach Par 3 course just a few minutes up the road, which has been described as one of the most beautiful oceanfront courses in Florida. In the other direction, there’s Lake Worth Beach Park, which has nice walking trails, great dining, and a long pier.
Guests who are willing to drive a bit further from the Palm Beach area will find other major Florida attractions within a day trip’s distance. The northern part of the Everglades is about an hour’s drive away, as are the exciting sights of Miami. The Orlando attractions are over two hours away and may necessitate an overnight stay or at least a hired driver.
➞ What to Eat & Drink
There are just two true restaurants at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, but no one really leaves disappointed. There’s also in-room dining, poolside service, and seasonal special dining experiences.
The main restaurant is Florie’s, which is where the expansive buffet breakfast is served daily. On Sunday, breakfast continues into the afternoon with an even more massive Sunday Brunch. On other days, this restaurant is closed for lunch and reopens at dinnertime to serve fine Mediterranean cuisine cooked with the garden flavors of Florida.
The other restaurant is Seaway, which fills the gap during the day and serves lunch for an extended period. The menu focuses on seafood with a bit of South Florida and Latin flair. Interestingly, Seaway does a beautiful Sunday Brunch as well. Do not miss a Four Seasons Sunday Brunch opportunity, even if you have to choose just one!
Both restaurants have bars that are open during similar but longer hours. The pool and beach service is another more casual option for all-day dining and drinking by the water.
➞ Room Guide
The Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach’s accommodations are best described as five-star beach houses, meant to resemble peaceful retreats to the sunny Floridian coast. Standard guest rooms are mostly differentiated by view, while all suites come with ocean views but varying sizes.
Guest Rooms: All varieties of these standard rooms count just under 400 square feet of space. There are Palm-View, Resort-View, and Ocean-View Rooms, providing a variety of scenes to wake up to each day. There are also Cabana Terrace Rooms, which sit on the ground floor and open directly to the pool.
One-Bedroom & Studio Suites: Ocean-View Studio Suites are a slightly upgraded option for families of up to two adults and two children. However, you’ll get much more space with an Ocean Grande Suite or an Ocean Terrace Suite; the latter has an extra-large outdoor area.
Two-Bedroom Suites: Up to six people can stay in these residential-style suites. The Providencia Suite can even be transformed into a four-bedroom for extra-large parties, and the Sea Breeze Suites have “wellness rooms” with Peloton equipment and an interactive mirror.
➞ Special Experiences
The Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach provides plenty of ways to make your stay extra special, as this luxury brand consistently does.
One of the top suggestions to maximize your pool or beach experience is to reserve a private cabana or beach bed. This private oasis comes with snacks, wine, water, and sunscreen, and you and your partner or family have your own retreat to dine and relax in when you aren’t swimming.
If you want to get away from the beach for a day, the resort can arrange a private airboat tour of the Florida Everglades. This once-in-a-lifetime experience reveals stunning wildlife, including a private alligator presentation, and you can have the chef prepare boxed lunches for your day.
