Welcome to the Diplomat Beach Resort

The Diplomat Beach Resort brings iconic hospitality back in a grand re-imagining of a legendary Florida resort. This vibrant Hollywood destination extends its stylish flair from coast to Intracoastal – a Florida playground rendered to contemporary perfection. Slip out to the shore, into the lagoon pool, or away to a private cabana and enjoy your chaise in the sun. Creative culinary and entertainment star in multiple dimensions, and matchless ways, restating The Diplomat’s status as a glamorous Gold Coast host with an exuberant social side.

Family Fun, Attractions, and Spa

Immerse yourself into the refreshing waters of our award winning beachfront pools. Marvel at panoramic views of the ocean from the edge of the infinity pool, which features a porthole bottom, and two waterfalls that cascade into the 240-foot lagoon pool below. Cool off in the lagoon pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and sweeping views of the ocean. Should you decide to climb out, enjoy a poolside spa service and refreshing Splash cuisine delivered to your chaise lounge. Pool amenities include complimentary towel service, cabana and casita rentals, full-service poolside lunch and spa services. Kids will love making a splash at the oceanfront Dip+Slide perched above the sparkling Lagoon Pool. Cooling off has never been more fun with two water slides, an enormous dump bucket and water cannons. Surrounded by splish-splash fountains and comfortable seating for parents, Dip+Slide is the perfect setting for seaside family-fun.

Dining

Boldly led by celebrity chefs alongside local Hollywood chefs and spirited by world-class mixologists, a wide range of remarkable culinary offerings make The Diplomat a true foodie’s paradise. Choose from The Diplomat’s signature steakhouse Diplomat Prime or enjoy Coastal American cuisine at Point Royal from celebrity chef, restauranteur, and television star Geoffrey Zakarian. The Hotel Bar transports you to famous hotels around the world with its menu inspired by iconic cocktails. Grab-and-go from casual market The Canteen, or head across the way to Diplomat Landing and take in beautiful views of the Intracoastal Waterway at Bristol’s Burgers or Portico Beer & Wine Garden. Exciting new options including modern Japanese izakaya Monkitail from celebrity chef and restaurateur Michael Schulson, the festive Nuevo Latino Playa from chefs Sue Torres and Darren Carbone, and family-friendly sweets shop Candy & Cones.
