GETTING ACQUAINTED

The former Ritz-Carlton property has been shed of its name and traditional décor and unveiled, under new management in 2014, as the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa; with a makeover as fresh as the ocean sea breeze and an attitude that is decidedly Eau-so playful. From the bubbly champagne offering at reception, to the whimsical guestroom décor, to the award-winning spa, this oceanfront oasis provides all the 5-star vow amenities for your momentous occasion.
