The Scoop | Week of January 9th

JILL PENMAN January 11, 2024

With much talk about New Year’s resolutions, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty would like to share suggestions about how to make working out and eating healthy fun. From delicious plant-based cuisine to exciting fitness facilities and events—where one forgets that it’s dieting and exercise—here are some ways to kick-start 2024 and feel your best.
 

PGA Pickleball

PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens continues its makeover with new wellness amenities. To meet demand, the property doubled the number of pickleball courts for 12 total for league play and clinics led by USPTA-certified coaches. Recover after games with PGA Spa’s therapeutic mineral “Waters of the World” and salt rooms, as well as new services including acupuncture and cupping.

A golfer’s mecca, Palm Beach Gardens is home to the PGA headquarters, the Honda Classic and luxury golf communities, many of which attract famous athletes. The community also shines for its conveniences such as the Gardens Mall and Downtown PBG, among well-tended retail centers. Fancy living here?

Palm Beach Gardens
 

Anatomy Arrives

Anatomy’s brand-new flagship in South Beach’s 1212 Lincoln Road building opened just in time for New Year’s resolutions. Its luxurious décor and amenities feel more like a designer store or haute hotel than a classic gym. The spacious layout boasts 18,000 square feet and 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space respectively, centered on a 70-foot glass atrium flooded with natural light.

Spanning the southern tip of Miami Beach, South Beach is a globally recognized brand in itself. Beyond the sand and surf, it’s beloved for Art deco architecture, café culture and world-class arts. Fancy living here? Discover more local details and property listings with the following links.

Healthy Dining

Beacon and Topside at the Beacon’s new elevated vegan cuisine makes it easier to eat healthy. Jupiter’s sister restaurants serve plant-based dishes like chickpea fries with sriracha aioli; roasted tomato bisque finished with basil oil, herb croutons and shishito peppers; an avocado and mango stack atop crispy rice; stir-fried veggies over rice noodles, and chili coffee-rubbed cauliflower steak with salad.

Jupiter’s bike trails, Loxahatchee River, Jonathan Dickinson State Park and Riverbend Park appeal to nature lovers who also have access to upscale restaurants and shops. Fancy living here? Discover more local details and property listings with the following links.

North Palm Beach | Tequesta
 

Mountain Biking

One doesn’t need mountains to mountain bike here. Broward County’s Markham Park offers more than 10 miles of mountain bike trails designed for a wide range of levels that are maintained by a dedicated group of stewards. Experience the thrill during The Markham Bad Habit Race, a four-hour challenge for solo and team relay riders as well as separate kids’ and e-bike races.

Broward County spans the Atlantic Ocean and downtown Fort Lauderdale and its beaches to the Florida Everglades. The expansive area offers historic neighborhoods, luxury high rises and family-friendly gated communities with a choice of in-town and suburban lifestyles. Fancy living here? Discover more local details and property listings with the following links.
 
Sunrise | Southwest Ranches | Weston
 

Yoga Festival

Regional wellness practitioners are coming together for the 2nd annual “It’s Just Yoga Health & Fitness Festival” at the Space Coast’s Cocoa Riverfront Park on January 13. The main stage presents five instructors who specialize in different styles, while a side stage focuses on kids’ yoga, meditation and more. The non-ticketed, all-day event requests donations for The Children’s Hunger Project.

Named for the Kennedy Space Center, site of NASA’s SpaceX rocket launches, the Space Coast occupies much of Brevard County. It attracts surfers, cruise passengers (Port Canaveral) and nature lovers looking for pristine white beaches where sea turtles nest. Fancy living here? Discover more local details and property listings with the following links.

Melbourne Beach | Merritt Island
 

Ultimate Wellness Retreat

For some real rest and relaxation in a glamorous setting, register for this month’s Ultimate Wellness Retreat at Faena Miami Beach’s Tierra Santa Healing House. The holistic reboot for the mind, body and spirit touches on several wellness facets such as stress reduction, fitness, nutrition and mental self-care. After three days, participants leave feeling enlightened, stronger and more at peace to face a new year.
