As families finalize their year-end travel plans, The Diplomat should be at the top of their list. From festive pastries and breakfast with Santa to special signature cocktails and spa specials, the resort serves as the ultimate holiday getaway.
Most notably, The Diplomat’s Hotel Lounge will transform into a Winter Cabin Pop-Up Speakeasy, adding a little bit of ’90s and winter flair to the already inviting atmosphere. “Guests will feel as though they’ve escaped to a cozy Northern cabin—but without the freezing temperatures. It’s the perfect blend of holiday spirit and relaxation, paired with warm and homey cocktails, and bites that capture the essence of the season,” says Ayesha Dogar, Hotel Manager.
Other celebratory plans include themed meals, including Thanksgiving and Christmas brunches and a New Year’s Eve celebration. “We have a variety of experiences for everyone to enjoy,” Dogar affirms.
That includes the Celebration Package, which offers a wonderful way for guests to enjoy the resort’s many amenities. The package includes sparkling wine, homemade chocolates, a room upgrade and late checkout. “It’s the perfect complement to our seasonal offerings and holiday events, making it a great value for guests planning a festive getaway,” says Dogar.
Beyond its seasonal delights, the resort boasts a rich history as a beloved retreat for locals and out-of-towners alike, even serving as a getaway for every U.S. president since 1958. It has also hosted some legendary performances from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Liza Minnelli and many more.
“From famous athletes to political figures, our guest list reads like a who’s who of notable personalities. You never know who you might spot during your stay,” says Dogar.
The resort offers a little something for everyone, whether you’re traveling with other couples, with the kids or catching up with extended family members visiting from near and far. “Our resort is a destination in itself, offering a wealth of amenities that allow guests to achieve their vacation goals—whether it’s relaxation, adventure or rejuvenation,” says Dogar.
Indeed, the property offers six distinct dining options sure to please any discerning gourmand, including Diplomat Prime, South Florida’s luxury boutique steakhouse and Point Royal which features Coastal-American cuisine. Meanwhile, The Diplomat’s award-winning, 15,000-square-foot full-service Spa and Salon creates a holistic experience for those seeking a bit of serenity during their stay.
For those adventure hounds in need of a bit of excitement during their visit, guests can hop on a Jet Ski or even a banana boat. Plus, each day during your visit, guests can enjoy complimentary one-hour kayak, paddleboard and bike rentals. On weekends, DJs liven up the afternoons, while live music sets the mood in the evenings, ensuring something exciting is always happening poolside. Luxe cabana rentals add a touch of private paradise to your experience.
The Diplomat’s team is also passionate about creating experiences that delight guests of all ages, through a range of complimentary and paid weekly activities, from seasonal crafts to beachside adventures. “Our Kids’ Club offers both day and night camp so kids can make new friends and memories that they can’t wait to share with their parents—it’s their own little haven,” Dogar says. “We also supply beach games and a toy zone in the sand for additional enjoyment for guests.”
And for larger families, The Diplomat’s two bedroom Family Suite provides ample space for everyone. With separate bedrooms, private dining and living spaces, the suite ensures every family member has a comfortable, relaxing stay.
No matter your reason for visiting, The Diplomat’s beachfront location makes it ideal for guests who want to enjoy picturesque days soaking up the sun by the water. Being centrally located between Miami and Fort Lauderdale also offers the perfect base for exploring the region and accessing all that South Florida has to offer, such as world-class shopping and Hollywood’s famed Boardwalk.
Furthermore, the resort offers a more laid-back atmosphere compared to the hustle and bustle you’d find in nearby Miami or Fort Lauderdale. “This allows us to provide all the luxury, excitement and adventure of South Florida, but in a more relaxed and intimate setting,” Dogar says. “It’s this combination of high-end offerings in a tranquil environment that makes The Diplomat a true hidden gem.”
