This Season’s Essentials
A new season in Palm Beach always brings fresh energy, and with it, a thoughtfully curated mix of wellness innovations and elevated lifestyle experiences. This month’s highlights include both new arrivals and longtime Palm Beach favorites, each offering their own take on intentional living and effortless style. From cutting-edge skincare and revitalizing fitness moments to mindful shopping and resort-ready fashion, the island continues to evolve perfectly in tune with the season ahead.
Christopher Ardant | Personalized Science Led Skincare
Swiss dermocosmetic scientist and formulator Christopher Ardant occupies a rare space in the world of aesthetic medicine. Known within an international private circle for his forward-thinking approach to rejuvenation and biohacking, Ardant’s work is rooted in over three decades of research, clinical practice, and authorship. His philosophy centers on cellular energy optimization and meticulously calibrated biological skin revision, delivered with a distinctly Swiss precision. Ardant maintains centers in New York City and Lugano, Switzerland, and offers discreet house calls throughout Palm Beach for clients seeking highly personalized, science-led skincare at the highest level.
Palm House x Reforming Pilates | Sunrise Strength on the Terrace
Palm House is elevating its wellness offerings this season with a special collaboration alongside Reforming Pilates. Twice a week, the Palm House Terrace transforms into an open-air studio for a high-energy, reformer-inspired mat class designed to sculpt, strengthen, and challenge from head to toe. Led by rotating Reforming Pilates instructors, each session delivers dynamic, creative sequences suitable for all levels, with modifications and progressions offered throughout. Classes take place at 8 AM from December through February, providing the ultimate sunrise reset. Mats and towels are provided, and Palm House overnight guests receive an exclusive discount.
SAME | Resortwear Pop Up Arrives on Worth Avenue
Palm Beach welcomes a fresh fashion moment with the arrival of SAME, the cult-favorite luxury label founded by Shea Marie. Following celebrated pop-ups in St. Tropez and New York, the brand brings its signature blend of elevated swimwear and sophisticated ready-to-wear to a three-month residency at 237 Worth Avenue. Known for its effortless approach to modern resort dressing, SAME has cultivated a devoted following among tastemakers and style insiders. Open from January 8 through April 15, 2026.
Loot Grocery | Thoughtful Shopping, Simplified
Tucked into West Palm Beach at 521 Park Place, Loot Grocery is redefining what it means to shop well. Founded by Ellyn Zylstra, the market was built on a simple but powerful premise: eliminate the guesswork. Every item on the shelves is free from artificial ingredients, seed oils, synthetic preservatives, gums, dyes, fillers, and natural flavors. The store also partners with ORQA Health to offer chef-made, farm-sourced meals to-go, alongside fresh organic produce, eggs, and cheeses from Paradise Farms in Homestead. The result is a carefully curated shopping experience where quality and transparency come first.
SoulCycle x The Colony Hotel | Pedaling Back to the Pink Paradise
The beloved collaboration between SoulCycle and The Colony Hotel returns for the 2026 season, bringing signature indoor cycling classes to one of Palm Beach’s most iconic settings. After a successful run in December and early January, the high-energy program is set to resume from March 22 through April 6. Each 45-minute class delivers a full-body cardio workout designed to strengthen the mind, body, and soul, all with SoulCycle’s signature motivational rhythm.
