Unwrap the Joy of the Holiday Season at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach

Let the gentle ocean breeze set the tone for a holiday season filled with wonder at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach. With two oceanfront pools, the island’s best beach, and endless ways to play, the resort offers a coastal retreat families return to year after year.

From playful gingerbread competitions and Santa’s grand arrival to cherished poolside rituals, beachfront adventures, and shimmering New Year’s celebrations, each day reveals a new way to experience the joy of the season.

Every corner of the Resort sparkles with warmth throughout the festive season. Suites can be adorned with beautifully decorated Christmas trees, menorahs, or fresh amaryllis, a welcome touch of home-away-from-home magic. In the lobby, carollers and live musicians bring the season to life, while the highly anticipated Gifts with Santa event invites families to gather for festive canapés, holiday music, and unforgettable moments with Santa himself.

Indulge in Memorable Holiday Dining

The season’s most cherished gatherings unfold at Florie’s by Mauro Colagreco. Holiday dishes embrace the flavours of Palm Beach with signature Mediterranean warmth.

Christmas Eve brings a festive four-course dinner, filled with festive interpretations of classic Florie’s dishes. On Christmas Day, families gather for the beloved annual brunch, a lavish market table accompanied by live music and a lively holiday spirit. New Year’s Eve begins with champagne and canapés before moving into a five-course wine-paired dinner, complete with entertainment that brings a sense of glamour to the final hours of the year. The celebrations continue the next morning with New Year’s Day Brunch, where guests ease into the year ahead with fresh flavours and a relaxed coastal atmosphere.

At Seaway, festive dinners on select evenings offer the perfect blend of coastal Latin flavours and sea-swept charm, an intimate setting for relaxed holiday dining beneath the palms.

World’s Best Bar Holiday Residency

This festive season, the Resort welcomes an exclusive and elevated speakeasy experience with Handshake Speakeasy, which earned the #1 spot on the prestigious World’s 50 Best Bars list in 2024 and #2 in 2025.

The limited-edition menu features imaginative cocktails such as the Olive Oil Gimlet, blending tequila, olive oil, apple, and rosemary; and the Matcha Yuzu, a refined harmony of whisky, matcha, and bright citrus. Complementing the experience, bar bites such as the Crab & Crust — a buttery croissant filled with crab and topped with Kaluga caviar — and the Confit Envelope, a duck confit empanada elevated with requesón and epazote, offer a memorable pairing. From December 18, 2025 to January 3, 2026, guests can enjoy select seatings, available by reservation, for an intimate tasting of Handshake’s signature craftsmanship. Reservations can be made on Resy here.

Joyful Moments Under the Sun

Holiday joy shines brightest under the Palm Beach sun. Whether lounging in a private oceanfront cabana or floating in the family pool with gelato in hand, the Resort’s daily poolside rituals add a touch of ease to every moment.

A mix of chilled cocktails, a seasonal Margarita cart, and festive boozy snow cones brings a playful note for adults, while little ones enjoy their own lineup of cool drinks and sweet moments. Poolside chef stations throughout the season offer fresh bites that are easy to share between dips in the water.

Along the private beachfront, guests can start their day with sunrise yoga or a game of beach volleyball, paddleboard along the coastline, or simply sink into a shaded beach bed with a sea breeze and a custom picnic basket prepared by the Resort’s chefs.

Spirited Fun for Kids and Teens

For young guests, the holidays offer a world of discovery all their own. At Kids For All Seasons, the Resort’s complimentary, fully chaperoned program for ages 4 to 12, children enjoy thoughtfully guided days filled with themed crafts, creative workshops, gingerbread building, cooking classes, and spirited holiday games.

Teens and pre-teens enjoy their own sense of freedom, gravitating toward the Resort’s game rooms and beachside gatherings, where friendly matches of tug-of-war, cornhole, volleyball, and other coastal pastimes unfold beneath the Palm Beach sun.

Coastal Wellness and Festive Gifting

Before the evening’s celebrations begin at Florie’s, guests can retreat to the Resort’s Forbes Five-Star Spa, a sanctuary dedicated to relaxation and holiday glow.

Seasonal treatments include the refreshing Mint & Melt Ritual, the deeply restorative CBD Massage, and an advanced HydraFacial enhanced with 111SKIN and LED therapy. Festive touches such as the Sleigh & Shine blowout and the Holiday Hair Happy Hour are perfect for pre-dinner glamour, while the tranquil Recovery Room, poolside cooling masks, and sunrise fitness classes invite guests to unwind in coastal serenity.

The spirit of the season continues at the Resort boutique, Swell, where seasonal trunk shows, daily sip and shop experiences, and coastal accessories offer memorable holiday gifting and effortless resort style.
