What to expect: Renowned architect Addison Mizner designed this famous resort's original section, the Spanish-Mediterranean-style Cloister Inn, in 1926. The resort grounds are lined with palm trees, tropical gardens, sculptures, and fountains. Located in the country club haven of Boca Raton, the resort is bordered by a half-mile of private beach along the coast of Palm Beach County and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Amenity highlights: The resort offers two championship golf courses: The Resort Course, a par-71 with 12 water hazards, and The Country Club Course, a par-72 with its signature 18th-hole island green. The state-of-the-art Tennis Center has 30 world-class, clay-based courts, and a tennis concierge is available to assist guests. Guests luxuriate at Spa Palazzo, modeled after Spain’s Alhambra Palace, with palatial gardens and cascades and 44 treatment rooms.

Insider tip: Mizner Park is only one mile away, and complimentary shuttle service is provided every day from the resort. There, visitors can enjoy shopping boutiques, dining, and summer music and cinema in the park. You can see some of the most popular musical acts in the country at the Mizner Park Amphitheater.
