One of America’s most iconic beach resorts, The Breakers has been a Palm Beach institution since 1896. The hotel still holds that sense of old-school Palm Beach luxury, but is, of course, fully modernised and has even implemented several eco-friendly initiatives throughout the expansive property. Resort activities (beyond the close proximity to one of America’s best beaches) include multiple pools, a golf course and tennis courts, as well as 10 bars and restaurants.
