Book Eau Resort & Spa with VIP Benefits

The resort sits on Florida's Gold Coast, at the southern end of Palm Beach island. Gardens soften the oceanfront setting, and the beach is directly beside the hotel. Two pools offer distinct settings: one welcomes families, while the other is reserved for adults. Both face the ocean. Daybeds provide shaded places to settle near the water, and stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling are among the activities offered. The sea is part of the experience, though swimming and water sports depend on conditions.

Outdoor space also shapes the accommodation. Resort View rooms look across the gardens and grounds; Ocean View categories look toward the Atlantic beyond the palms. Ocean Front rooms sit directly along the shoreline, while the Lanai Terrace categories bring guests down to pool level. These are useful distinctions at a hotel where a balcony above the grounds and a patio opening toward the water offer quite different settings.

Resort View Double & King Rooms measure 420 square feet. They have either one king or two full-size double beds, with a private balcony, workspace and Nespresso machine. Bathrooms include a bathtub and shower, plus a double vanity.

Ocean Front Suites have 812 square feet, with a king bed, sofa bed and a living room separate from the sleeping area. Their balconies face the sea. Bathrooms vary by suite, with either one and a half or two, and the published maximum is five guests.

At ground level, the 812-square-foot Ocean Front Lanai Terrace Suites have a separate king bedroom, a queen sofa bed in the living area and two full bathrooms. Their private terraces open directly toward the pools and beach. They also accommodate up to five guests, with the outdoor terrace extending the living space beside the shoreline.

The top-floor Presidential Suite spans 3,000 square feet. Its two bedrooms are complemented by three and a half bathrooms and open-plan living and dining areas, with a wraparound balcony overlooking the ocean. The suite also has a wine cooler. Club Level rooms and suites are also part of the accommodation range, with both Ocean View and Ocean Front categories.

Eau Spa occupies 42,000 square feet, with a sequence of spaces that encourages time outside the treatment room. The Bath Lounge and Eau Zone Relaxation Lounge lead the spa experience indoors, while the Self-Centered Garden has dipping pools, hanging chairs and a courtyard. Water and places to sit are central to the setting. Couples treatments and salon services are available alongside individual appointments.

The spa beyond the Wishing Well and Fitness Center is for guests aged 18 and over. Access to its leisure facilities is tied to a qualifying treatment booking; the spa team can confirm the arrangements when an appointment is made. The fitness center operates separately, with 24-hour room-key access, cardio equipment and free weights. Staff are present daily between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., and personal trainers and scheduled classes add options for a guided workout.

Nobu Manalapan brings Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese cuisine with Peruvian influences to the resort. Black Cod Miso and Yellowtail Jalapeño appear alongside sushi and sashimi. The drinks list extends to sake and wines, with yuzu, shiso and umeshu among the flavors used in cocktails. Dinner is open to local diners as well as hotel guests. Reservations are required and can be made up to 30 days ahead; smart casual dress is appropriate here, rather than beachwear.

Angle takes a modern American steakhouse approach, serving premium meats and seafood. Its kitchen works with Swank Farms, Holman's Harvest and Kai Kai Farms, while the menu names Snake River Wagyu, Creekstone Farms Prime Beef and lobster bisque. Live piano is scheduled on several evenings each week. The restaurant requests long pants for men as part of its casual-elegant dress code. The combination of local produce and steakhouse dishes gives this dining room a different emphasis from Nobu's sushi, sashimi and Japanese-Peruvian cooking.

Breeze Ocean Kitchen keeps lunch close to the water, with outdoor tables, coastal fare and local craft beers. Its schedule includes sunset bites and Sunday brunch with live music. Stir is the place for cocktails, music and casual dishes, while Oceana serves coffee, pastries and light bites. The Melt ice cream cart adds house-made flavors to the daytime choices. Within Eau Spa, Savor serves salads and bowls, and in-room dining allows meals to be taken on a room's own schedule.

The children's spaces have their own identities. Loggers welcomes ages 3 to 12, with an interactive lighted peg wall, a virtual playground, a life-size sketch aquarium and a mini theater. Hide Away serves ages 13 to 17, offering gaming consoles, oversized screens, virtual-reality experiences and table tennis. Both clubs are supervised. These indoor spaces add activities beyond the family pool and beach, with creative play at Loggers and gaming and movies for teenagers. A separate arcade is also available. Kids Night Out sessions run on Friday and Saturday evenings for the narrower age range of 5 to 12.

Palm Beach International is the closest airport, listed by the resort as 12 miles north. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and Miami International provide alternatives farther south, with taxis and car services available. The hotel can help arrange a transfer. Road arrivals cross the Ocean Avenue bridge before turning south onto Ocean Boulevard, where the resort occupies the beach side of the road.

Worth Avenue shopping, the Norton Museum of Art and the Flagler Museum offer outings away from the coast. Golfers can look to nearby courses such as Palm Beach Par 3, while West Palm Beach and Delray Beach broaden the restaurant and evening choices. These are excursions from the Manalapan base, with the beach and resort restaurants close at hand on returning.
