Location: Manalapan resort vs Worth Avenue boutique

Eau Resort & Spa – Location

Eau Resort & Spa sits on seven private oceanfront acres at the southern tip of Palm Beach Island in Manalapan.

  • Private Atlantic beach and direct ocean access.
  • About a 15–25 minute drive to Palm Beach International Airport per property guides.
  • Quieter, more resort-oriented setting a drive from central Palm Beach shopping.

Choose Eau for a quieter, full-oceanfront resort base away from downtown Palm Beach.

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Location

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach is a small, well-known boutique hotel a few steps from Worth Avenue.

  • Steps from Worth Avenue shops and the Palm Beach social scene.
  • Short walk to Ocean Boulevard and nearby public beaches; hotel provides a complimentary beach shuttle.
  • Convenient for visitors wanting immediate access to downtown dining and shopping.

Choose The Colony if proximity to Worth Avenue shopping and central Palm Beach walkability matter most.

Rooms: range and scale

Eau Resort & Spa – Rooms

Eau has 309 rooms and suites across three guest towers, with many room types offering private balconies and ocean views.

  • Room inventory includes Club Level rooms and multiple oceanfront suites (examples: Suite, Oceanfront; Club Suite, Ocean View).
  • Design work credited to Jonathan Adler; rooms include private balconies in many categories.
  • Options for families and larger groups with suites up to 812 sq. ft.

Eau offers many room types for families and group travel, often with ocean-facing balconies.

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Rooms

The Colony has 89 guestrooms with classic Palm Beach styling and a compact set of room types.

  • Room types include Double queen size bed, Double premium king bed, Junior suite king size bed, and various quadruple options.
  • Rooms feature pillowtop beds, down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets.
  • Smaller, more intimate room inventory compared with a large resort.

The Colony suits travelers who prefer a smaller hotel with traditional Palm Beach room styling.

Dining & drinks: multiple on-site concepts vs a single signature restaurant

Eau Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Eau offers several on-site dining choices, from casual to upscale, including a Nobu location.

  • Nobu Manalapan (Japanese-Peruvian), Angle steakhouse, Breeze Ocean Kitchen, Stir bar/terrace, Savor spa café and Oceana café.
  • Nobu requires reservations and accepts both resort guests and outside diners.
  • Bar and poolside drink options include two poolside bars and a terrace bar with live music on select nights.

Eau is best when you want many on-site dining choices without leaving the property.

The Colony Hotel Palm Beach – Dining & drinks

The Colony’s food-and-drink offering is smaller and oriented to classic Palm Beach dining.

  • Swifty's is the main on-site restaurant serving American cuisine for brunch, lunch and dinner.
  • A coffee shop/cafe serves pastries and light fare; poolside bar and limited-hour room service are available.
  • Cooked-to-order breakfast is offered for a surcharge.

The Colony works well if you plan to eat out around Worth Avenue and want an easy, classic hotel dining option.

Pools, beach & signature amenity

Eau Resort & Spa – Wellness & nightlife

Eau’s standout wellness amenity is Eau Spa, a large, full-service 42,000 sq ft facility reserved for guests 18+ for spa access.
