Last weekend I had a wonderful escape to Vero Beach, a seaside town on Central Florida’s Treasure Coast. The place is perfect for relaxation in the sand and surf.
It was a reunion of sorts to rendezvous with an old college beau. We stayed at Vero Beach Hotel & Spa, a Kimpton Hotel in a lovely suite. After some R&R on the beach, we ventured to the best restaurant in town, The Tides. Here we enjoyed a culinary treat of fresh local fish and organically grown veggies topped off with homemade sweets for dessert. The place was cozy and the servers congenial and attentive. Afterwards, we tried out all the local hotspots including the karaoke bar to the Riverfront Lounge…all a bit honky tonk compared to sexy South Beach, but a fun change of scenery.
Sunday, we checked out the other hot hotel along the beach, Costa d’Este, owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan. I loved the architecturally cool, contemporary entranceway with circular design details. The hotel was more zen-like with a special spa as well as a hip meeting room with circular ball-dangling chandeliers carrying out the circle theme inside as well as out.
On the way home, we played tourist and drove down Main Street, photographing the deco theater. Then we stopped at Al’s Family Farm for fresh squeezed Indian River orange juice and picked up a pack of chocolate coated coconut patties to continue to savor the sweet weekend.
Whether you come from near or far, Vero Beach is a world-class exquisite retreat. I highly recommend it for a change of pace!
