After Charleston and just before the Amalfi Coast, I was able to squeeze in a mini staycation. Especially, given that my apartment is still undergoing renovations and redesign (can’t wait to reveal more this summer) I couldn’t resist taking some time off when I can! And because I had fallen so in love with the Four Seasons brand, I had my heart set on fully experiencing the one closest to home, the newly renovated Four Seasons Palm Beach. From personal experience, I have discovered that each property seamlessly and elegantly integrates the culture, heritage and allure of the city it is located in…and as for Palm Beach, that was no exception.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the lush tropical surroundings, fun pastel pinks and muted greens and the most delicious welcome…their chocolate truffles at the front desk! So memorable. When I stepped into my suite, I was pleasantly surprised by the interiors…because most of the colors were exactly what I had in store for my apartment. The light pinks and muted greens – such a beautiful complement. I loved the spacious sleeping and living areas (not to mention closet space!). It flowed directly outdoors to a furnished balcony, which led to an unobstructed view of the sparkling Atlantic. I never grow tired of these ocean views….It was all simply lovely and well thought out! There was also another sweet surprise in the dining room table: an assortment of treats, candied nuts and champagne (with a sweet note!). #fivestarservice Bikini: (c/o) La Gotta Swimwear, top and bottom Shell Earrings: Jennifer Behr I also enjoyed some time by the pool while reading my latest book, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield, under their beautifully designed cabana. Then, taking a dip in the ocean whenever I wanted. Since I don’t get free time often, the brief moment of secluded relaxation was just what my soul needed, plus the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Everyone was so friendly, the staff was intuitive and the cuisine was divine! I can’t wait to go back and try Florie’s by three-Michelin-starred Chef Mauro Colagreco with my boyfriend. Top: Acler Shorts: Theory Sandals: Schutz (sold out) similar here and here Bag: Sancia The Four Seasons Palm Beach definitely surpassed my expectations with a charming detailed experience and incredible design (yes, it’s very Instagramable). It’s so close to home… which I love. If you find yourself visiting this darling city of mine or are a local dreaming of a staycation too, I highly recommend this gem on the island.
