Anniversary Getaway; West Palm

Cheers to doing life with the one you love!

My husband Geoff and I want to share with you the delightful adventure we had during our recent 11th-anniversary trip to West Palm Beach. From our luxurious stay at The Ben hotel to exploring local hotspots and enjoying delectable plant-based cuisine, this trip was a perfect blend of relaxation, inspiration, and culinary delights. Join us as we recount our incredible journey and the memorable experiences we had along the way.


Our anniversary getaway began with a warm welcome at The Ben hotel. This elegant and sophisticated establishment offered us a comfortable haven throughout our stay. The hotel's attention to detail and impeccable service made our anniversary celebration even more special. With its stunning views and luxurious amenities, The Ben provided the perfect backdrop for our West Palm Beach adventure. The Ben hotel offered an exquisite rooftop pool where we spent a tranquil morning. Basking in the warm sunshine and enjoying breathtaking views of West Palm Beach, we felt a sense of serenity wash over us. The hotel's thoughtful amenities, including the book Butler service, which delivered top-pick books to us, made our poolside experience even more enjoyable.

On our first night, we dined at Planta, a renowned plant-based restaurant. The innovative menu impressed us with its wide array of flavorful dishes. We savored plant-based pizza and sushi, with the spicy chorizo pizza leaving a lasting impression on our taste buds. It was a delightful culinary experience that showcased the creativity and versatility of plant-based cuisine. The following day, we explored the city by foot, stumbling upon stunning yachts and vibrant streets. In need of a refreshing pick-me-up, we stopped by Rush Bowl, a local favorite known for its delicious smoothies and smoothie bowls. Indulging in these fruity concoctions not only rejuvenated us but also added a healthy twist to our adventure.

For lunch, we visited Sweet Greens, a delightful eatery that emphasizes healthy and flavorful meals. With its fresh ingredients and customizable salads, we savored a nourishing lunch that fueled our exploration of the city. Shortly after, Eager to find inspiration for our interior design projects, we ventured into Lululemon, Design Within Reach, and Herman Miller. These establishments not only provided us with fresh workout gear (we know Nicole loves a hotel gym) but also showcased innovative designs and furniture pieces that stimulated our creativity.

Driving north, we discovered Mood, a charming restaurant that captured our attention. The diverse menu tempted us to sample nearly every appetizer, and we couldn't resist ending the evening with a delectable dessert. The culinary delights at Mood were a true highlight of our trip.

Our final morning in West Palm Beach began with a stroll through vibrant neighborhoods, sipping coffee as we admired the local charm. Our search for a brunch spot led us to Darbster, a remarkable not-for-profit vegan restaurant. Enjoying raw avocado toast and more delectable treats, we were delighted to contribute to their mission of supporting animal rescues in the area.

Our 11th-anniversary trip to West Palm Beach was an unforgettable experience filled with relaxation, exploration, and culinary delights. From our luxurious stay at The Ben hotel to the exceptional dining experiences at Planta and Mood, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant energy of West Palm.
