The Breakers Palm Beach

The Breakers Palm Beach is a legendary oceanfront resort in Palm Beach, Florida, occupying 140 acres along the Atlantic coast at 1 South County Road. Originally built in 1896 by Standard Oil magnate Henry Flagler, the current Italian Renaissance-inspired structure dates from 1926 following a fire, and has been maintained and expanded into one of America's most celebrated grande dame resorts. The resort's twin towers, Venetian-inspired colonnades, hand-painted ceilings modeled on Rome's Villa Medici, and an extensive tapestry collection create an atmosphere of historic splendor unique among American resort properties. The Breakers operates independently under the Flagler System, ensuring consistent standards without corporate chain management pressures. Accommodations encompass 540 rooms and suites ranging from Classic Rooms in the historic towers to lavish oceanfront suites with private terraces. The resort's ten restaurants and lounges offer dining from casual poolside menus at the Beach Club to formal cuisine in the historic Flagler Ballroom. The Beach Club features four oceanfront pools and private cabana rentals along 2,500 feet of private Atlantic beach. Two championship 18-hole golf courses — the Ocean Course and the Breakers Rees Jones Course — accommodate golfers of all levels. The spa spans four and a half acres with more than 20 treatment rooms and a thermal pool circuit. A supervised children's program called the Coconut Crew runs daily activity sessions. Worth Avenue's luxury shopping strip, the Palm Beach Lake Trail cycling path, and the Norton Museum of Art are all accessible nearby.
