A new week is the perfect time for a Royal adventure.

I explored a new venue in Palm Beach.

Royal Poinciana Plaza was redeveloped approximately 5 years ago and it is stunning…a charming, gardenlike setting with lush greenery.

There are multiple businesses in the elegant development, but the highlight is enticing shopping and unique eating.

I felt underdressed not wearing Chanel or Lilly Pulitzer, but I forged ahead.

The opulent garden courtyards are divine and the ambiance chic yet relaxing.

There are clever play areas for children with a fancy pink SMEG refrigerator stocked with treats and books kept at a comfortable temperature.

I strolled, admired and left empty-handed.

It was a lovely respite from the maddening crowds and renovations.

I traveled home on A1A, the road less taken with unbelievable mansions on the right and gorgeous ocean vistas to the left.

It was a truly lovely Royal excursion.

Royal Poinciana Plaza 340 Royal Poinciana Way Palm Beach, Florida. Open Monday-Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 11am-5pm.
