Sometimes, a getaway is just what you need. Whether you’re planning a week-long retreat or simply craving a night of solitude to recharge, a tropical haven can work wonders.
The Belgrove Resort & Spa, situated in a former mango grove by Lake Mangonia, exudes a relaxed, West Indies-inspired ambiance. With swaying palm trees, striped cabanas, and a pool deck featuring butler service along with a wellness spa offering specialized body treatments, this 150-room sanctuary is dedicated to promoting relaxation.
As a part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, The Belgrove presents a range of accommodations, from standard guest rooms with views of the golf course to spacious one-bedroom suites that come with a separate living area and private terrace, ideally located with views overlooking the pool.
Each guest room presents a modern design, featuring light flooring, high ceilings, an accent wall in soothing blue, and chic furnishings. The resort also offers a pillow menu (available for an additional charge), providing guests with a selection of plush choices, including white goose down, cooling pillows, and memory foam options.
For dining, guests can select from five on-property options, including around-the-clock room service.
After parking your car with the welcoming valet staff, if you arrive early and your room isn’t quite ready, be sure to stop by Deep End, the resort’s casual pool bar, for a tropical cocktail along with some light snacks like poke bowls and sushi rolls.
The pool deck features a family-oriented pool alongside an adults-only pool, complemented by 16 private cabanas and ample lounge chairs for your relaxation.
Just steps from the pool, The Spa offers a menu of treatments tailored for ultimate relaxation. Whether you choose the golden glow body ritual, a 50-minute island serenity massage, or a collagen reset facial, be sure to arrive early to enjoy the relaxation lounge, showers, eucalyptus steam rooms, private saltwater pool and hot tub, and the luxurious men’s and women’s lounges.
For a memorable weekend dinner, make a reservation at Bacaro, Belgrove’s modern Italian alfresco restaurant located on the poolside veranda, renowned for its fresh pasta selections and crispy Napoli pizzas.
Begin with a Bacio Bellini Spritz made from peach puree and pair it with flavorsome bruschetta topped with zesty fresh tomatoes, creamy whipped ricotta, and a drizzle of sweet balsamic glaze. A highlight is the exquisitely topped shaved truffle and mushroom pizza, uniquely enhanced with brie cheese. For more substantial fare, you can enjoy fusilli prawns in a white wine cream sauce or the house favorite rigatoni Bolognese, made with Wagyu beef ragu.
Bacaro serves dinner only from Friday to Sunday, but their American brasserie, Society 48, is open every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Executive Chef Ron Pietruszka offers delightful breakfast options, such as the must-try eggs Benedict, an egg white frittata, and a Mangonia passion smoothie.
If you’re in need of a light meal to grab on the move, don’t miss the on-site café, FlaminGO, which serves freshly baked pastries, desserts, smoothies, casual lunch items, and gelato.
Additionally, The Belgrove features a private, members-only Jack Nicklaus Signature course known as the Dutchman’s Pipe Golf Club.
The Belgrove Resort & Spa is located at 2020 Banyan Resort Way in West Palm Beach, Florida.
