Eau Resort & Spa
The big resort just south of the island: 309 rooms, seven oceanfront acres and a 42,000 square foot spa, owned since 2024 by Larry Ellison.
Oetker's first American hotel: 41 rooms and suites in the reborn Chesterfield, designed by Tino Zervudachi.
The Vineta is the island's newest serious address and a European statement of intent: the first United States property of Oetker Hotels, the group behind Le Bristol in Paris and the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. It opened in early 2026 after a three-year rebuild of the former Chesterfield, a Mediterranean Revival building on Cocoanut Row that first opened in 1926 as the Lido-Venice.
The scale is deliberately intimate: 41 rooms and suites with interiors by Tino Zervudachi, a courtyard, the Coco's dining room and a small American Bar. Ownership sits with the Reuben Brothers, working with Oetker as operator.

The island's quiet southern anchor: 196 rooms redesigned by Martin Brudnizki, with Mauro Colagreco's first American restaurant.
The comeback: 79 rooms and 21 suites on Royal Palm Way, returned to service by Iconic Luxury Hotels after a 17-year closure.
