GUIDE2015

No other luxury resort in the United States has held such an unwavering focus on renewal as The Breakers. As the only oceanfront resort in the heart of Palm Beach, The Breakers has sustained the tra-dition for hosting memorable events and getaways for more than a century. As a one-of-a-kind, independently owned resort that remains in the hands of founder Henry Flagler’s descendants, that same entrepreneurial spirit gives the hotel the agility to satisfy a guest’s every imag-inable need or preference. The dedication of this long-stand-ing family ownership (since 1896) has resulted in an unrivaled $25-million yearly investment in capital im-provements and ongoing restoration. This has included a five-year, $80-million reno-vation and redesign of all 540 guest rooms and suites, and most recently, the addition of Ocean Fitness, the resort’s 6,000-square-foot, indoor/outdoor ocean-front fitness center. Every corner of this destination’s 140 acres is completely revitalized, embracing guests from around the world with an incomparable blend of glamour and relaxed sophistication, and a multitude of world-class amenities.

An annual $25-million reinvestment strategy keeps The Breakers on top of the travel industry’s most unique destinations.

Stunning vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, lush colorful gardens, charming courtyards

Exclusive Beach Club featuring one-half mile of private beach, four oceanfront pools, five whirlpool spas, and luxury poolside bungalows with personal concierge service

Ocean Fitness Center, a spectacular new 6,000-square-foot, indoor/outdoor oceanfront fitness center

Rejuvenating spa services and a variety of complimentary fitness classes

Eight distinctive restaurants and eight bars

36 holes of championship golf including The Breakers Rees Jones® Course and Ocean Course

10 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts; instruction by USPTA/USPTR-certified professionals

Family Entertainment Center, kids camp and an extensive program of family and children’s activities

11 on-site boutiques

“Guests are keenly aware that The Breakers could not be replicated today; they embrace its peerless blend of stunning atmosphere, relaxed natural elegance, multi-faceted amenities and genuine service. Yet we never rest on our laurels, so we ensure it keeps getting better year after year.”
