Palm Beach is more than a location… it’s an energy.
When I moved to West Palm Beach in 2020 — just 15 minutes away from Boca Raton — I realized how much a woman can evolve simply by changing her surroundings, even if it’s only a short drive up the map.
There’s something about this side of the bridge that awakens a softer, more elegant, elevated version of yourself.
Back then, my husband and I discovered a gym overlooking the beautiful yachts and the bridge that crosses over into “the fancy Palm Beach.” I felt like I was working out in heaven. The view was unreal.
The gym aka Ultima Performance Fitness off Flager is gone now (they never used Conrad and me for advertising 😌 JK), but I’ll never forget that feeling — that “I’m stepping into a new timeline” moment.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with Palm Royale starring Kristen Wiig… mostly because I’m actually living in the town the show was inspired by.
Well… close enough.
Close enough to feel the luxury.
Close enough to feel the quiet confidence.
Close enough to step into the femininity, the softness, the “Maxine Simmons delusional-on-purpose” energy.
Because Palm Beach isn’t just a zip code.
It’s elegance.
It’s effortless luxury.
It’s soft-girl confidence.
It’s the glow of a woman who’s becoming her.
And today, I’m taking you inside my world — the Palm Beach chapter of The Self Made Babe™.
Here are 5 stunning Palm Beach spots every Self Made Babe should explore — from cafés where you can sip a latte after Pilates… to oceanfront corners where your soul feels closer to God.
These are places I personally LOVE and visit often — so expect a little insider magic. ✨
1. The Colony Hotel — The Pink Palace
📍 155 Hammon Ave, Palm Beach
💗 Palm Royale meets Barbiecore meets feminine luxury
If Palm Beach had a heartbeat, it would be The Colony.
From the flamingo-pink walls to the cheerful rattan chairs, every corner feels like a soft, luxurious main-character moment.
Why Self Made Babes love it:
- Photo-worthy every inch
- Chic poolside cocktails
- A vibe that makes you want to set your next million-dollar goal
- Perfect backdrop for “I’m becoming her” content
✨ Personal Note:
I love slipping into The Colony for a light lunch after strolling Worth Avenue. My favorite spot is under the green-roof ceiling overlooking the pool — the perfect place for a quiet CEO moment, journaling, or planning my next quarter.
One evening, I even closed the place down with champagne and a few girlfriends. The bartender surprised me with the cutest little Colony keychain as a goodbye gift.
2. Safe Harbor Rybovich + La Marina WPB
📍 4200 N Flagler Dr, West Palm Beach
💗 Coastal luxury • yachts • sun-kissed feminine energy
If there’s one place in West Palm Beach that captures the essence of effortless luxury, it’s Safe Harbor Rybovich — especially the La Marina space.
Think:
- Superyachts towering like floating mansions
- Soft breezes off the Intracoastal
- Music + cocktails + coastal ambience
- Linen dresses, boat shoes, and Palm Royale energy everywhere
Why Self Made Babes love it:
- Cinematic views
- Extremely aesthetic for content
- Modern, feminine, coastal vibe
- Perfect after a boat day
✨ Personal Note:
The first time I went, I felt like I stepped into a more elevated timeline version of myself. The yachts here are worth billions. I even attended a Palm Beach Chamber event while pregnant. It’s the perfect spot for a date, a soft-girl solo moment, or drinks after boating.
3. Freedom Boat Club — Palm Beach Freedom Energy
💗 Coastal luxury • adventure • sun • clarity
There is NOTHING like taking out a boat, blasting your favorite playlist, and cruising the Intracoastal.
It gives you freedom, calm, and the kind of abundance that rewires your nervous system.
Why Self Made Babes love it:
- No boat-owning stress
- Just reserve + show up + go
- Sun-kissed photos
- A feminine, cleansing “new season” feeling
- Great for goal-setting moments
✨ Personal Note:
I’m a skipper and we rent from Freedom Boat Club. If you want a referral, tell me — I can get you a discount. It has genuinely upgraded our lifestyle.
4. The Society of the Four Arts — A Quiet Spiritual Reset
📍 100 Four Arts Plaza, Palm Beach
💗 Peaceful • grounding • aesthetic
This is one of Palm Beach’s most beautiful hidden gems.
Lush gardens, koi ponds, sculptures, and quiet walking paths that feel like a spiritual hug.
Why Self Made Babes love it:
- Gorgeous strolling paths
- Perfect for journaling or reading
- Stunning photo backdrops
- Peaceful spot for gratitude or prayer
✨ Personal Note:
I went here on Easter with my daughter. We met children’s book authors, explored the gardens, and collected little memories. It felt like a spiritual reset — grounding, peaceful, and feminine.
5. Henry’s Palm Beach — Classic, Elegant, Always Right
📍 229 Royal Poinciana Way
💗 Timeless, polished, “let’s celebrate” vibes
Henry’s is Palm Beach in restaurant form.
Dark wood, crisp service, gorgeous lighting — the whole place feels special.
Why Self Made Babes love it:
- Perfect date night or brunch
- Elegant but not intimidating
- Consistently delicious
- A place where deals get made
✨ Personal Note:
After a long day on the island, I love treating myself to a meal here and thinking, “I really do live here.” Brunch with the girlies hits different at Henry’s.
🌸 BONUS: The Giant Kapok Tree
📍 Near 315 Chapel Hill Rd (I walk from Four Arts to the tree)
💗 Spiritual • grounding • cinematic
This ancient giant is a Palm Beach secret.
Standing under it feels magical — grounding, majestic, almost like stepping into a Palm Royale scene.
Take a photo.
Take a breath.
You’ll feel transformed.
💗 Final Thoughts: The Palm Beach Babe Lifestyle
You don’t have to live in Palm Beach to tap into her energy.
You can:
- romanticize your walks
- choose one “elevated spot” in your town
- sit at a pretty café and plan your future
- dress up for yourself
- visit a garden or waterfront
- choose softness
- choose elegance
- choose YOU
Because Palm Beach is not a place — it’s a feeling, an identity, a feminine awakening.
And if you ever find yourself on this side of the bridge, I hope you visit at least one of these spots and remember:
You’re not just visiting Palm Beach…
You’re becoming your own version of her.
