Need a fresh start? Amrit Ocean Resort, a new wellness-focused luxury property on Florida’s Singer Island, can help with that. Amrit is a Sanskrit word meaning “the elixir of life,” and the seaside escape just north of Palm Beach uses five “pillars of wellness”—nutrition, mindfulness, sleep, relaxation, and fitness—to lead visitors on a self-improvement journey, personalized to fit each guest’s health goals. Itineraries may include meditative sound baths, a consultation on customizing your sleep environment, and cooking lessons in the teaching kitchen.

No matter the wellness track, everyone has access to the 103,000-square-foot spa, the oceanfront resort’s crown jewel. Spanning four floors, it combines European, Chinese, and Indian traditions for an integrative experience. Not to be missed is the Aayush hydrotherapy ritual, which takes spa guests through a series of therapies, including a Himalayan salt room, lap pool, cold plunge, reflexology walk, sauna, and steam room. An assortment of massages and facials are available, as are less common modalities such as flotation therapies, acupuncture sessions, and IV infusion treatments.

Amrit’s three restaurants feature mainly plant-based fare, drawing inspiration from the cuisines of Blue Zones (places where people live extraordinarily long and healthy lives) around the world. Even the poolside drinks are healthful, with many incorporating teas and adaptogens—making it an easy choice to drink up and drink in that fresh start you’ve cultivated.

Sebastiaan Gorissen, director of Amrit’s food and beverage, shares his favorite things to do around the Palm Beach area
“I really enjoy biking the Palm Beach Lake Trail. You can bike it yourself or ride with a tour guide who tells you about the history along the route. It’s a beautiful ride.”
“The Gardens Mall is the place to shop. It has high-end stores [Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany & Co.] for a luxury shopping experience.”
“Going to Peanut Island is a fun weekend activity. Take a boat, the ferry, or rent kayaks for a great day trip. You can even bring your dog.”
