Palm Beach: Tradition with a Twist

Just a short ride from the buzz of Miami, Palm Beach remains the East Coast’s most refined social enclave—where legacy and discretion still rule the day.

The ultra-exclusive Everglades Club, founded in 1919, remains one of the most mysterious and coveted memberships in America. Its strict policies (no phones, no press, no photos) preserve a timeless elegance that whispers rather than shouts.

Next door, Mar-a-Lago has made headlines globally—but in Palm Beach society, it’s long been a gilded hub of high-society luncheons and black-tie galas. Then there’s the elegant Carriage House, a relative newcomer aiming to modernize the social set with an old-school sensibility. With its jewel-box interiors and curated programming, it's where tradition meets modern luxury.

And you can’t forget the Palm Beach Yacht Club—an institution since 1890. With its waterfront views and generations-deep membership list, it captures the nautical heartbeat of the island.

But cross the bridge into West Palm Beach, and a new wave is rising. Cove Club at Icon Marina Village brings Riviera energy to the city’s waterfront. With panoramic marina views, art-forward interiors, and private member events, it's quickly becoming the chic new nucleus for a younger, upwardly mobile crowd.

Soon to join the skyline is Mr. C’s Bellini Rooftop Club, arriving atop the soon-to-debut Mr. C Hotel & Residences. Think old-world Italian glamour with a Palm Beach twist—classic cocktails, glossy interiors, and unobstructed views of the intracoastal. A nod to Miami’s boldness, tempered by Palm Beach poise.
