The house
Salamander CollectionChampionship golf estate
Six tournament golf courses define the stay, drawing players for serious rounds before gathering in 1960s-styled Palm Beach lounges.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Ninety-nine holes of championship golf and a thirty-three-thousand-square-foot racquet club.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms, suites, and cottages are perhaps surprisingly stylish, full of graphic motifs and decorated in a style that feels subtly Parisian.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On an 807-acre championship golf estate in Palm Beach Gardens, twenty minutes west of the Atlantic coast.
The rooms
Monochrome palm-leaf wallpaper hangs behind the beds, and private balconies open toward the lawns and lakes.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor courtyard holds mineral pools modeled on Salies-de-Béarn and the Dead Sea, beside a zero-entry main pool.
The spa
V Starr designed the spa, where private treatment rooms join dry saunas and a Himalayan salt chamber.
Restaurant
Honeybelle
Chef Lindsay Autry serves wood-fired pizzas and fried chicken beneath brass chandeliers and botanical green banquettes.
At the table
Sushi by Boū runs timed omakase tastings at a 12-seat counter, and Birdie's Diner sits beside the first tee.
How it began
The estate was built as the tournament home for the PGA of America, hosting the 1983 Ryder Cup two years after opening.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
