The Belgrove

A Softer Kind of Luxury for the Modern Family Escape

You’ve only just arrived when a member of staff offers you a chilled mango cocktail—bright, refreshing, and unexpected. A moment later, a double-insulated steel water bottle engraved with your name. It’s more than a welcome. It’s a glimpse of what The Belgrove does best: thoughtful details that feel effortless.

Because here, nothing is overlooked. Every element has been carefully curated to make your stay feel both indulgent and easy.

West Palm Beach at long last has a resort that meets the moment for today’s multigenerational traveler.


Set along the quiet curve of Lake Mangonia, this sophisticated new arrival is the only true luxury destination of its kind west of downtown. It rivals The Ben in elegance but offers a softer kind of splendor, one rooted in serenity and space. Designed for families who travel well and appreciate the quieter side of luxury, The Belgrove isn’t flashy or loud. It’s intentional. And from the very first sip, it invites you to let go.


A Poolside Playground for All Generations


Families naturally gravitate to the resort’s zero-entry pool, where cobalt-blue umbrellas ripple in the breeze and pool attendants appear like clockwork with complimentary trays of frosty lemonade. Kids drift between games of volleyball, cornhole, and oversized Connect Four, while parents lounge in private cabanas outfitted with flat screen TV's, stocked mini fridges, and craft cocktails within arm’s reach.


The Deep End Bar, just steps away, keeps everyone satisfied with a casual-yet-craveable menu: think poke bowls, sushi rolls, ceviche, and Wagyu hot dogs. Want a local favorite? Ask for the Watermelon Mezcalita—smoky, juicy, and kissed with agave.


Just across the path, the adults-only pool is tucked discreetly behind tropical foliage. It’s quieter here—grown-up in all the right ways, made for stolen hours with a novel or a nap on a lounger.


And as evening settles in, the lakeside lawn takes on new life. Chairs are arranged beneath the open sky, fresh popcorn is passed around, and guests gather to watch classic movie favorites on the big screen—it's one of those rare moments that manages to feel both cinematic and completely real.


Society 48: A Nod to the City’s Origins, A Celebration of the Present


Inside the jewel-box brasserie that is Society 48, the lighting glows golden against grey and tan banquettes. Named for the original 48 blocks platted by George W. Potter in 1893, the restaurant honors West Palm Beach’s inception with a cosmopolitan menu rooted in Floridian flair.


Start with the Hamachi Crudo, an absolute delight with avocado crema, Serrano and ponzu. Follow it with the Dover Sole, filleted tableside and served with crispy roasted potatoes and asparagus. Pair it all with the signature Pineapple Bliss—a Casamigos cocktail crowned with pineapple smoke “bubbles”—served exclusively here.


For families with young diners, there’s no stuffy prix fixe. Just gracious hospitality and a menu designed to please all palates.


Spa Rituals, Rooted in the Earth


Check-in at the spa begins not with a clipboard, but a mango-ginger wellness shot and a chilled towel. A private locker awaits, alongside a plush blue robe and slippers.


Inside the spa lounge, you’ll find citrus-infused elixirs in crystal carafes, a curated tea menu created exclusively for the resort, and a display of healthy snacks.


The treatments are equally thoughtful. The signature massage combines warm Himalayan salt stones with rhythmic, restorative strokes, followed by a Florida sugarcane-and-honey foot scrub. The eucalyptus steam room, state-of-the-art rainfall showers, and vibro-acoustic loungers turn recovery into ritual.

 

Rooms That Reflect Your Rhythm


Back in your suite, the elegance continues. The Executive Suite, with its wraparound balcony and sweeping views, offers a peaceful retreat with a king-sized bedroom, separate work area, double vanities, and double showers. Beside the bed, a pillow menu offers three firmness levels, with specialty options like buckwheat, memory foam, and cooling gel pillows just a call away. And with in-room dining available throughout the day, every craving is met with quiet ease.


For the Discerning Golfer (and the Just-Here-for-the-View)


If your ideal escape includes nine holes before breakfast, Dutchman’s Pipe is your siren call. The members-only, Jack Nicklaus–designed course rolls across 7,300 sculpted yards of emerald, framed by palms and mirrored ponds. There’s even a Junior Golf Academy for your youngest players-in-training.


Not a golfer? There’s plenty more to enjoy—tennis, pickleball, lawn yoga at sunrise, surrey bike rides at golden hour. Families reconnect not by obligation, but by desire—because everything here is designed to draw you together.

The Belgrove isn’t just a hotel—it’s a new rhythm. A softer pace. A place where luxury lives in the details and family time unfolds with ease. Pool attendants remember your name. Children are genuinely welcomed. And every experience—from sunrise to sundown—feels beautifully considered.

At the end of each sun-drenched day, you return to a room that’s cool and quiet—plush robes waiting, a pillow chosen just for you, and everything in its place.
It’s comfort that feels instinctive, and impossible to forget.


Which is why the only thing better than arriving at The Belgrove… is knowing you’ll be back.
