Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences

Character and identity

Set on seven oceanfront acres on Singer Island, just north of Palm Beach proper, Amrit positions itself squarely as a wellness retreat rather than a conventional beach resort. The 155 rooms all face water, and the architecture funnels guests towards the centrepiece: a 100,000-square-foot spa and wellness facility with Florida's only indoor/outdoor hydrothermal circuit, Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, IV infusion therapy, and a serious gym programme spanning TRX to tai chi. Dining leans plant-based, with cocktails and mocktails at the bars, beachfront cabanas, and a rooftop pool above the Atlantic.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The spa is the entire proposition here, and your enjoyment will rise or fall on how much you actually use it. The hydrothermal facility, infusion suites and East-meets-West treatment menu are the reason to book; the beach and rooms are supporting cast. Commit to a multi-night wellness package, pick an ocean-view category (they all face water anyway), and come in shoulder season when the programme runs less crowded.
