Nearly a century ago, famed architect Addison Mizner envisioned a grand seaside resort that would redefine Florida’s coastline. What he could not have foreseen was how dramatically his vision would evolve. Today The Boca Raton (thebocaraton.com) is a sprawling, 200-acre resort destination, anchored by wellness remedies that range from soaking in the sun-drenched, oceanfront lifestyle to rejuvenating in a 50,000-square-foot wellness center.

When the architect came to Florida in the 1920s, Mizner’s forethought included creating a city and resort that would, in Mizner’s words, “give Florida and the nation a resort city as perfect as study and ideals can make it.” There’s no doubt that the current management team subscribes to that mission statement, evidenced by its newly transformed Beach Club hotel.

A $130 million investment has completely reimagined the 210-room retreat, which is one of The Boca Raton property’s five hotels. (There is also the original Mediterranean-style Cloister, built in 1926, and the newly revamped 27-story Tower.) Originally opened in the 1980s, Beach Club’s refreshed look exudes its bright and breezy vibe, an ode to a coastal lifestyle of beauty and rejuvenation. Curated wellness programming includes the Ritual Series, with a rotating circuit of fitness classes taught right on the beach. Oceanfront guest rooms and suites welcome a panoramic vision of turquoise blue ocean waters as it blasts into the room. Others showcase the property’s lake through floor-to-ceiling windows and doors or feature lanais that flow into a private poolside lounge.

Beach Club’s revamp includes a renewed focus on culinary experiences, including a collaboration with raw bar expert Johnny Spero (of the Michelin-starred Reverie) at Marisol restaurant. The mostly Mediterranean menu features daily ceviche specials and freshly made naan pulled from an in-house brick oven, as well as just-caught seafood hauled in by local fishermen and handed over to the culinary team at the property’s marina. If you want to get even closer to the ocean, dine at Onda, a sand-side al fresco restaurant that features a guest chef every winter season.

Beyond the confines of Beach Club is Spa Palmera, the resort’s 44-room wellness center located just across the lake at The Boca Raton’s Harborside area.

Hop on the resort’s courtesy Water Taxi or shuttle van to visit the spa. The design (lush courtyards and magnificent arches) recalls Spain’s Alhambra, a palace and fortress known for its outdoor grandeur where aristocrats and royalty routinely roamed. Spa treatments reflect that feeling, including the Ritual Bath that begins with the ancient art of hydrotherapy in a choice of either sauna or steam, then you’ll have a soak in an oversized tub, a Swiss shower, and a unique deluge and Jacuzzi experience.
