There is travel, and then there is the lazing bliss of vacation. And when you check into the Beach Club at The Boca Raton, you check out of reality. The sumptuous escapism is largely thanks to the butler-like service: The toughest decision you’ll face will be whether to lounge at the pool, beach, or spa. In December 2024, the Beach Club completed a $130 million renovation, including 210 redesigned guest rooms and suites, two new restaurants, and a completely refreshed lobby featuring a new bar and café. With natural marble, limewashed plaster walls, and cerused woods, the design emulates a serene coastal feel—sans in-your-face tropical embellishments. Pro tip: If there’s a place to splurge on an ocean view, it’s here. I stayed in a seventh-floor balcony room and in the morning, we would open the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the sun rise over the water before we momentarily fell back asleep to the ocean breeze, as if floating on a cloud. From $1,090. —Hannah Towey
