Sometimes quiet is good, particularly when the nonstop buzz of a full schedule begins to wear on you. It helps to be able to get in the car and just go to your destination without the hassle of airports that these days inevitably equate to hordes of travelers and the now commonplace flight delays or cancellations.
Room With A View
Set your sights on nearby Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa, a serene, oceanside property just 17 miles north of West Palm Beach that is part of the Opal Collection. Its secluded yet easy-to-reach location makes it the ideal spot for a much-needed getaway.

Featuring 175 recently revamped rooms, the hotel offers a contemporary island-inspired decor emanating a coastal chic vibe. From standard guest rooms to studios, junior or one-bedroom suites, there’s a fit for every party size and budget. If you’re in the mood to splurge, the penthouse suite might be just the ticket, with its stunning top-floor views, separate living and sleeping areas, a dining space, kitchenette, private balconies and two roomy bathrooms. And if you’re coming with a crowd, there is a second penthouse suite with three bedrooms that sleeps up to eight.
The pool area is dotted with comfortable loungers and has oceanfront views, a soothing waterfall and revitalizing hot tub. Swing by Sandbar, the poolside bar, for a refreshing cocktail. Just steps away, you’ll find the resort’s pristine private beach — the only beachfront hotel in Jupiter — complete with umbrellas, chairs and beachside service.
Latitudes Restaurant
If you’re looking to stay active, there’s a gym and tennis courts onsite. But if slowing down is your goal, The Spa at Jupiter Beach Resort is your haven. It includes an organic tea bar, waterfall serenity room and a range of treatments in one of six private rooms, including a suite for couples. Noteworthy treatments include The Signature Bliss Journey, 90 or 120 minutes of care that includes a body exfoliation, application of warm lavender oil with heated stones, body wrap and pressure point scalp treatment and foot ritual and The Men’s Skin Management, an hour-long deep-cleansing, therapeutic facial tailored for gents. Plus, there’s a variety of massages from the classic Swedish to options incorporating CBD oil and Himalayan stones.
Unwind At The Pool
Latitudes, the resort’s new signature eatery, centers around seafood, inspired by the property’s stunning oceanfront location as well as South Florida’s sailing spirit. The menu is extensive, offering lunch fare from Lobster Roll, Crab Melt or Spicy Fish Tacos to Blackened Mahi Sandwich or a selection of fish prepared simply with olive oil, lemon and sea salt. For dinner consider the Lobster & Crab-stuffed Jumbo Shrimp, Grilled Seafood Trio (local catch, tiger prawns and jumbo scallops) or, for meat lovers, All-Natural Beef Tenderloin or New York C.C. Strip. There’s a “Naked Bird” All-Natural Chicken with Florida sour orange and garlic and honey glaze that is a favorite as well.
Spending a few days at The Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa gives you just the right amount of time to sleep in, soak in the sun and unwind by the beach or at the spa. Paired with memorable meals and stunning views, it’s the perfect formula for a restful staycation. Plus, dogs under 30 lbs. are welcome, so many can bring along their furry best friend. With every amenity at your disposal and the soothing sound of ocean waves as a backdrop, a getaway here might just become your new favorite ritual.
