    Dubbed ‘America’s first resort destination,’ The Palm Beaches covers over 2,300 miles of prime Florida coastline and encompasses beaches, hotels, golf courses, museums, malls and even, inexplicably, a safari.

    In fact, there’s little reason to leave at all. CEO Milton Segarra talks us through how the area is preserving its natural beauty and enticing new guests, as well as his perfect day on the beaches.

    The Palm Beaches is a byword for classic Florida elegance. How are you evolving that legacy for today’s traveler?

    The Palm Beaches have always stood for timeless sophistication, but we’re not standing still. The destination is moving forward by embracing innovation while preserving our heritage. That means investment in new and renovated world-class hotels, expanding our culinary scene and leading in areas such as accessibility and sustainability.

    We’ve evolved from a beloved tourism destination into a renowned world-class travel brand, laying the foundation for The Palm Beaches’ growth as a premier hub for business, culture, education, lifestyle and social and economic development. Today’s traveler finds not only elegance, but also opportunity and inspiration.

    What does The Palm Beaches offer that other high-end destinations in Florida like Miami or Naples do not?

    The Palm Beaches are Florida’s most stylish vacation destination. We offer something rare: a sense of refined escape. Our vibrant blend of people, cultures and coastal towns welcome everyone with fewer crowds, a healthier beach experience and exceptional cultural offerings. Our 39 distinct communities offer a mosaic of experiences, from the glamour of Palm Beach and Boca Raton, the coastal tranquility of Jupiter and Riviera Beach/Singer Island, and the creative energy of West Palm Beach and Delray Beach.

    We’ve preserved our natural beauty and architectural integrity, creating a setting that manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming at the same time. The Palm Beaches strike a balance of luxury without pretense and culture without crowds – or, as we often say, ‘diversity without the density.’

    How are you seeing preferences change among your visitors — and how is The Palm Beaches responding to those shifts?

    Today’s luxury traveler is more intentional. They’re seeking wellness, sustainability,and experiences that align with their values. In response, we’ve expanded our offerings in those areas – from wellness-focused events like Eudēmonia to our Certified Autism Center designation, which reflects our commitment to accessible travel. We’re also seeing a rise in multigenerational travel and longer stays, so we’re working with partners to create more flexible, family-friendly and immersive itineraries.

    What are the most exciting openings or upgrades you’re seeing in 2025 and beyond?

    We’re entering a golden era of hospitality investment. The Vineta Hotel is set to reopen with a fresh take on Palm Beach elegance, and new culinary concepts like Tutto Mare are adding depth to our dining scene. We’re also seeing enhancements at legendary properties like The Boca Raton, The Breakers and Eau Palm Beach, which continue to raise the bar. These developments aren’t just upgrades – they’re statements that The Palm Beaches are evolving while staying true to our iconic reputation as America’s first resort destination.

    How do you ensure that new growth aligns with the refined, low-key character The Palm Beaches is known for?

    It starts with listening – to our residents, our partners and our guests. The ‘Love The Palm Beaches Tourism Master Plan,’ developed with input from thousands of stakeholders, is our blueprint for sustainable growth. We’re focused on quality over quantity, ensuring that every new development enhances the destination’s character. Whether it’s a new hotel or a public space, we ask: Does it elevate the experience? Does it respect the community? That’s how we protect what makes The Palm Beaches special.

    When you have a rare day off, how do you spend it in The Palm Beaches? What’s your ideal itinerary?

    I’d start with a morning walk along the Palm Beach Lake Trail – it’s peaceful, scenic, and a great way to take in the beauty of the island. Then maybe a coffee at Sant Ambroeus, followed by a visit to the Norton Museum of Art. Dinner would be somewhere like Buccan or Café Boulud, where I could enjoy my favorite dessert of key lime pie. This day would be the perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration – exactly what you can expect to find in The Palm Beaches.

    What do you wish more people knew about The Palm Beaches — especially those who think they already know it well?

    That there’s always more to discover. People often think of Palm Beach as just one island, but The Palm Beaches are a collection of 39 cities and towns, each with its own personality. From the arts scene in Lake Worth Beach to the equestrian culture in Wellington, there’s an incredible collection of experiences here. While we’re known for luxury, we’re also deeply rooted in community, creativity and innovation. It’s a destination that surprises you, in the best way.

  • Sustainable Spain: Exploring the Country’s Scenic Trails

    Sustainable Spain: Exploring the Country’s Scenic Trails

    Spain’s extensive network of walking paths encourages responsible travel at a slower, more mindful pace.

    Travel habits are changing. More tourists are prioritizing greener choices, whether that means opting for a scenic train journey instead of a short flight, staying in eco-friendly hotels or actively choosing activities that support local communities.

    Spain is a top destination for eco-conscious travelers. The country is home to the most biosphere reserves in the world, is a global leader on Blue Flag beaches and is working towards protecting 30 percent of its marine areas by 2030. And, with the second-longest high-speed rail network in the world, low-impact travel between Spanish destinations is easier than ever.

    One of the best ways to explore Spain responsibly is on foot. Its extensive network of trails, welcoming villages and protected national parks allows travelers to slow down, reduce their environmental impact and connect with local wildlife and communities.

    National Parks

    Spain’s 16 national parks, four of which are Unesco World Heritage Sites, showcase the country’s extraordinary biodiversity. Many have extensive walking and cycling routes, allowing visitors to explore the country’s most beautiful natural areas with minimal impact to the wildlife and local environment.

    Doñana National Park in Andalusia is one of Spain’s most important wetlands, covering roughly 210 square miles across Huelva, Cádiz and Seville. It is home to over 400 bird species and endangered animals such as the Iberian lynx and Spanish imperial eagle.

    The national park is a fantastic place to explore the best of Spain on foot, with several well-marked walking trails suitable for all levels. The La Rocina Trail, a 2.3-mile loop starting from the El Rocío Visitor Center, is perfect for birdwatching and takes about an hour to complete. Visitors can learn more about the park’s fragile ecosystem at the park’s visitor center, designated observatories or on guided tours.

    The Camino de Santiago

    The Camino de Santiago is one of Spain’s most iconic journeys and a rewarding way to travel responsibly through the country’s diverse landscapes. The path winds through local villages, encouraging pilgrims and visitors to support rural communities along the way. Eco-conscious infrastructure has grown in recent years, including eco-albergues (pilgrim hostels) powered by renewable energy, sustainable luggage transfer services and well-maintained walking and cycling trails that minimize erosion.

    Several different caminos crisscross Spain, but the most popular is the Camino Francés, stretching about 500 miles from the French border to Santiago de Compostela. The route showcases Spain’s variety of natural landscapes, from the rolling vineyards of La Rioja to the dramatic mountains of León and the lush green countryside of Galicia.

    For centuries, Spanish shepherds moved their herds between summer and winter pastures along routes known as trashumancia. Many of these historic paths have been restored for hikers and cyclists, offering a slower way to experience the countryside and its rural heritage.

    One example of these restored routes is Vereda del Puerto, about two hours west of Madrid, which winds through the Sierra de Gredos. Starting in the village of Candeleda, the trail climbs past farmland and oak and pine forests before opening onto sweeping mountain views, with La Mira peak to the right and Casquerazo to the left.

    Greenways

    Spain has transformed over 2,000 miles of disused railway lines into Greenways, creating car-free routes for walking and cycling. With around 140 trails across the country, these paths are accessible to all ages and fitness levels. Along the way, former train stations have been repurposed as small hotels, cafés, museums and bike rental hubs, making it easy for travelers to explore comfortably while supporting local economies.

    One of the most distinctive Greenways is the Senda del Oso, or Bear Trail, in Asturias. This 31-mile route follows a former mining railway through the Bear Valleys, where conservation efforts help protect the Cantabrian brown bear, one of Europe’s rarest species. Along the trail, walkers and cyclists pass through towns such as Entragu, Proaza and Cueva Huerta, with the chance, if lucky, to spot these remarkable animals in their natural habitat.
