The Boca Raton

August 8, 2026 · Edward Leos

Since welcoming its first guests in 1926, The Boca Raton has been more than a luxury resort, it has been a destination where generations return to celebrate milestones, create traditions, and experience the timeless allure of South Florida. Set across 200 waterfront acres between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Boca Raton, this iconic landmark continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in the architecture, hospitality, and sense of place that have defined it for nearly a century.

Designed by legendary architect Addison Mizner, The Boca Raton today seamlessly blends its storied heritage with contemporary luxury through five distinctive hotels. Each offers its own personality and style while sharing access to an extraordinary collection of experiences available exclusively to resort guests and Club members. Whether seeking a romantic escape, a multigenerational family vacation, or a restorative wellness retreat, guests are invited to craft a stay that feels entirely their own.

At the heart of the experience is an unwavering commitment to personalized hospitality. Mornings may begin with sunrise on a private half-mile golden beach, followed by a restorative ritual at Forbes Five-Star Spa Palmera, a 50,000-square-foot wellness sanctuary inspired by Spain’s Alhambra Palace. In the afternoon, guests can explore the resort’s 18-hole championship level golf course, a premier racquet club featuring tennis and pickleball, water sports along the Intracoastal Waterway, or simply reconnect beside the Harborside Pool Club’s floating river. 

The Boca Raton’s culinary program has become a destination in its own right. More than 18 restaurants and bars span the resort, including four signature concepts developed in collaboration with Major Food Group. From Mediterranean cuisine overlooking the Atlantic and elegant Italian dining to Japanese-inspired flavors and beloved New York-style brunch traditions, each venue offers a distinctive perspective while celebrating the vibrant spirit of South Florida. Throughout the year, seasonal culinary festivals, wine experiences, holiday celebrations, and curated programming enhance the connection between guests and the destination.

Following the unveiling of the newly reimagined Beach Club in early 2025, guests now enjoy redesigned accommodations, seamless indoor-outdoor living, elevated oceanfront dining, thoughtfully curated gathering spaces, and immersive beach experiences that celebrate the beauty of Florida’s coastline. In 2026, the resort will begin the next phase of its transformation with the redesign of the historic Cloister’s guest rooms and suites—the original hotel envisioned by Addison Mizner in 1926—as well as a complete reimagining of Mizner Center, the property’s signature venue for celebrations and events. Building on a $375 million transformation that redefined much of the resort, these projects reflect a commitment to preserving the property’s architectural heritage while elevating the guest experience for a new generation of travelers.
