Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Explore Palm Beach Gardens through several distinct interests: visit the Gardens GreenMarket on Sundays, walk or kayak in the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area, or enjoy activities related to swimming, tennis, pickleball and golf. When planning your trip, it is worth grouping these options by their character: market visits and live entertainment, nature trails or a kayaking route, and classes, training and tournaments appeal to different interests. If you are mainly looking for nature, compare the hiking trails and kayaking route; for organized activities, classes, leagues and training options offer a different focus.

A Sunday with a cultural program

The Gardens GreenMarket takes place every Sunday at the City Hall Municipal Campus, 10500 N. Military Trail. It supports local artists and offers live entertainment, adding a cultural program to a market visit. If a Sunday falls within your travel dates, the market can be a specific event on your itinerary. As schedules may change, check the current date before your visit.

Nature trails and a kayaking route

The Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area preserves nine of Florida’s native ecosystems. Natural-surface hiking trails lead to a fishing pier and an observation tower. A parking area and launch at the Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area provide access to a two-mile kayaking route that can be paddled in only one direction through the natural area on the west side of the C-18 Canal. This gives you two clearly distinct options: trails leading to the fishing pier and observation tower, or a two-mile, one-way kayaking route. On foot, the specific destinations are the focus; for kayaking, the route’s length and direction shape the activity.

Swimming and aqua fitness

The Aquatic Complex offers swimming lessons and aqua fitness classes, two different forms of guided water activity. The Competition Pool and the Main Pool are each 25 yards long, so their stated lengths are the same. The Aquatic Complex is fully ADA accessible, and the Competition Pool and the Main Pool each have ADA-compliant lifts. This lets you consider the classes and the amenities of the two pools, which are the same length, separately when planning.

Tennis, pickleball and golf

The Tennis & Pickleball Center hosts USTA leagues and tournaments for players without disabilities as well as wheelchair athletes. PGA National Resort offers golf lessons and various training options for all skill levels and age groups. These are different sports formats: the center offers leagues and tournaments, while golf offers lessons and training. When choosing between them, consider whether a competitive setting or learning and training options better suit the purpose of your trip.
