Renovated resorts, rooftop lounges, and an exciting arts district invite travelers to experience effortless sophistication by the sea in one of Florida’s breeziest coastal towns.
With its relaxed luxe vibe, pristine beaches (it’s the only East Coast American beach to earn a Blue Flag designation), and many wellness oases, Delray isn’t your typical Florida beach town. Some even say it is completely and utterly underrated—but perhaps locals like it that way. Regardless, Delray Beach makes for a divine weekend escape, about an hour north of Miami, that feels like it’s a million miles away.
Last year, The Seagate Hotel and Spa underwent an impressive transformation via a full-property, $60 million renovation— and it shows. The property offers access to a private beach club, golf club, a quaint, full-service spa, two roomy swimming pools, and dining options galore—all recently reimagined. The 157 serene and spacious guest rooms exude Anglo-Caribbean design vibes, decked out with elegant designer furnishings and original artwork one would find in an elite and traditional Florida coastal home. Situated right in downtown Delray, near the hustle and bustle of Atlantic Avenue, the Seagate’s charming staff are always on-hand and ready to shuttle guests to the nearby beach club and golf club, both just minutes away.
Dine oceanfront at Mr. Seas where the people watching is as fun as the lively vibe or dig into classic American fare at Bourbon Steak by Michelin Star Chef Michael Mina. Finish off your evening back at the main edifice, with Italian-inspired cocktails at Venetian Street Bar, which promises “a dash of Venice with a whole lot of Florida flair.”
