Get ready for take-off! Announcing Forbes Travel Guide's Inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards. 
Eau Spa, located inside Palm Beach’s Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, is a glamorous 42,000-square-foot space that puts the focus on indulgence and relaxation. The spacious retreat takes advantage of the tropical location by flowing seamlessly from inside to outside, with every turn offering a peek of the lush gardens, fountains and blue sky outside the spa’s windows.
This is not a spa that takes itself too seriously — begin a visit with a glass of champagne and then make a candle wish in the spa’s wishing well (which combines healing earth, air, fire and water elements). When it comes to rejuvenation, though, the spa staff takes its job seriously, with a full menu of massages, body treatments and facials (including the Oxygeneo 3-in-1 Super Facial — it's the only provider in the state) targeted to each guest’s needs.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- The design style nods to the resort’s Palm Beach location, with damask wallpaper, etched-glass mirrors, gleaming wood floors, marble baths and sheer, flowing drapery.
- The spa menu focuses on personalizing your “me time” around pause, play or perfect through scents, colors and music. “Pause” treatments include lavender and mint scents, blue color therapy and relaxing music.
- “Play” treatments feature citrus and eucalyptus scents, red color therapy and upbeat music, while “perfect” treatments offer ginger and vanilla scents, gold color therapy and stimulating music.
- We greatly enjoyed customizing our own scented scrub at the DIY Scrub and Polish bar.
- After a visit, pick up some plant- and flower-based products by Red Flower or a treat from the full range of candles, jewelry and accessories found at the spa’s onsite “bEAUtique.”
Things to Know
- Eau Spa is popular among both locals and out-of-towners and quickly books up during peak season from October to March and holidays. We encourage you to make spa reservations in advance so you don’t miss out on the blissful services and amenities.
- The gorgeous private villas are perfect for some extra "me" time, but they can also be rented for bridal parties, birthdays and other special occasions.
- Skinceuticals, a cult beauty brand with a background in the science of skin protection and preservation, is used for the majority of the massage and facial services.
- Extend your spa day at Savor, a terrace café with a specially curated wellness menu.
The Treatments
- Choose the “self-centered” massage if you want to direct the kind of therapy you’ll receive.
- The “double your pleasure” massage ups the relaxation factor by employing two therapists massaging simultaneously, while the “on the rocks” massage uses hot stones to soothe achy muscles.
- Also on the menu are a traditional aromatherapy massage, a deep tissue “muscle melter” massage, Thai massage, a post-sun massage therapy designed to restore sun-crisped skin and a maternity massage for expectant moms.
- Before or after a treatment, indulge in extras such as champagne, a caviar spread and a soaking bath ritual – a hand-drawn, nutrient-rich bath in the outdoor freestanding tub under the sun or stars.
- Eau Spa is Florida's sole provider of Oxygeneo treatments, "super facials" that incorporate red-light therapy and ultrasound.
The Facilities
- Before your treatment, lounge in the alfresco “Self-Centered Garden” — a tropical oasis lined with draped cabanas, a central dipping pool and plenty of chairs for lounging.
- Book a block of time in a private villa to enjoy indoor and outdoor tubs and showers, cozy chaise lounges and lush gardens
- Most of the spa leans toward the light and airy, while the spa’s Bath Lounge is a dark and cozy escape with turquoise mosaic tiles, a piping hot Jacuzzi, heated loungers and showers.
- Between the disco-ball-accented steam room and the whirlpool featuring an overhead waterfall and inhabited by oversized rubber ducks, it’s hard to say which enchanting space we love the most.
