Since Addison Mizner and Marion Sims Wyeth first created their Mediterranean Revival landscape in the 1920s— complete with arches, courtyards, and stucco walls— and “Palm Beach chic” evolved into bold pattern play (palm fronds for everyone!), the town has been defined by the playful, the preppy, and the sophisticated. Our current era of museums, galleries, and design destinations has shaped a reimagined architecture and design community. We’re embracing the contemporary and classical, the sumptuous and luxurious, alongside the whimsical and modern bohemian— with everything in between!

While it’s hard to narrow it down, we’ve thoughtfully curated the ultimate Casa Branca-approved Palm Beach guide. Here, our team shares our favorite history hubs, food and drink scene intel, fashion and beauty spots, and the art and design must-sees that make Palm Beach a true design-world mecca.
