What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.
The St. Regis sits on Palm Beach's most coveted stretch of Aruban coastline, its 252 rooms finished in honey-toned wood and soft neutrals, with four-poster beds and floor-to-ceiling glass framing that famous Caribbean blue.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A seaside path leads straight to morning juice stalls, and the Butterfly Farm is a short walk away.
The rooms
Four-poster beds face floor-to-ceiling glass and wide balconies. In the bathrooms, deep soaking tubs sit against honey-toned marble.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An oceanfront infinity pool and whirlpools are tucked among palms, flanked by private slatted-wood cabanas.
The spa
Treatment rooms sit behind arched timber alcoves. Therapies draw on local Aruban aloe and Sothys Paris formulas.
The gym
Technogym treadmills look out through floor-to-ceiling glass over the pools, and daily classes include sunrise yoga.
Restaurant
Akira Back
The open-air rooftop terrace looks straight across the Caribbean, serving sushi and Korean dishes past sunset.
The moment you step inside, nature is on full display here, from the lobby's focal greenery arrangement to the floor-to-ceiling lobby windows looking out to the water.
At the table
The St. Regis Bar pours its papaya-spiced Bon Bini Mary, and open-air pergola tables sit right by the sand.
How it began
The property was built on the last open parcel along Palm Beach, introducing the brand's first on-site casino.
