This is not your grandma’s Boca. We knew the cool crowd from Miami branched out to Palm Beach. But now, those hitters have a new place to play, which is The Boca Raton.
When you’re traveling as a family, it can be a headache trying to find the kind of spot that has something for everyone. But The Boca Raton has made your next family getaway a no-brainer. With five hotels spread across one luxury resort, The Boca Raton has thought of every member of your family — from picky toddlers and adventurous teens to parents who just want some time to relax in the South Florida sun. And what’s more is that The Boca Raton is also a private club, which a lot of people seem to overlook — but not you, of course.
Accommodation
The Boca Raton is more like a small city than a resort — a city that sits on over 200 waterfront acres, that is. It’s home to five different hotels, each with their own unique vibe and style. The Tower at The Boca Raton, the Beach Club at The Boca Raton, the Cloister at The Boca Raton, the Bungalows at The Boca Raton, and the Yacht Club at The Boca Raton. While the Yacht Club at The Boca Raton is adults-only, the other four hotels welcome families of all ages. With sweeping views of the ocean, The Tower at The Boca Raton is ideal for large families and younger kids. It offers various configurations to accommodate large parties across multiple suites, or even an entire floor. It’s also conveniently located just steps from the activity-packed Harborside Pool Club. Talk about the backyard of every kid’s dreams.
Activities
The Boca Raton allows kids and teens to embark on countless adventures, without ever leaving the sprawling resort grounds. It’s basically a playground in paradise. The Harborside Pool Club is a great place to start. It boasts three pools, two water slides, and a lazy river. Thrill-seeking teens can hang out on the FlowRider wave simulator, while younger kids can shoot water cannons and zip down mini slides at the interactive Splash Pad. The Splash Pad even features four uniquely themed Kiddie Cabanas where children can nurture their imagination in style. And what’s a resort day without refreshments? While Mom and Dad sip a poolside cocktail, kids can grab a retro soda and a treat from the candy wall at The Break.
On the beach side of the resort, all ages can rent tubes, body boards, stand-up paddle boards, and take a bouncing ride on a banana boat. As a family or larger group, you can even rent your own personal pontoon boat or floating Fiat 500 (as you should).
Food & Beverage
The Boca Raton is seriously a foodie’s heaven on Earth. With a whopping over 15 restaurants, bars, and cafes, you could eat somewhere new every day of your vacation. From casual family lunch spots to sleek adult-only cocktail bars, parents and kids alike are sure to end every day with a full belly. Kids will especially love to satisfy their sweet-tooth with Maison Rose’s whimsical chocolate and macaroons, or the Burger’s Bar’s decadent milkshakes. Because you can have dessert before dinner on vacation, right?
And if Mom and Dad want to sneak away for a cheeky cocktail after dinner, the Banyan Bunch Kids Club is open until 9pm, and is more than just a childcare service. At the club, kids can participate in everything from salsa dancing to origami when Mom and Dad need some grown-up time. So, head over to the Palm Court cocktail lounge and order that espresso martini. You deserve it.
