What The Boca Raton does

The Boca Raton is a privately held, centennial luxury resort operating on a single 200-acre waterfront campus in Boca Raton, Florida, owned by BDT & MSD Partners since the 2019 acquisition by MSD Partners and subsequent 2023 merger. The resort runs five distinct hotels (Tower with 244 rooms, Beach Club with 210 rooms, the historic Cloister with 294-297 rooms, the adults-only Yacht Club, and Bungalows with 58 extended-stay suites) plus the Forbes Five-Star Spa Palmera, the Harborside Pool Club, a private beach with Vilebrequin cabanas, a full-service marina, 14 tennis and 12 pickleball courts, and a championship golf course undergoing reimagination for Fall 2026 reopening.

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model anchored by accommodations (rooms across the five properties), a 14+ outlet dining program that includes Major Food Group partnerships, Spa Palmera treatments, Club membership subscriptions, corporate meetings and events across 97,000+ sq ft of space, golf and racquet sports, retail, and marina and boating services. Pricing is quote-based and premium, supplemented by a $53 nightly resort fee, $55 valet parking, and $195 pet fee, with promotional packages tied to the 2026 centennial.

Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via thebocaraton.com, phone reservations, and travel advisor partnerships, paired with a dedicated corporate sales team surfaced through the Cvent network. The customer base spans affluent leisure travelers, corporate groups, social celebrations, Club members, families, and wellness guests, served through both transient stays and a recurring Club membership program that drives year-round engagement on the property.
