Sustainability is at the heart of The Palms. Guided by our Inspired by Nature Program, we reduce our environmental impact through mindful practices, conservation partnerships, local sourcing, and responsible hospitality, creating meaningful experiences for guests and the planet.
This signature package offers a great time and the option to give back in the process. With discounted room rates for 3 nights or more, a welcome glass of Organic Prosecco, and a $50 spa credit. Any unused portion of the hotel credits will be donated to one of our local environmental partners that educate and protect the delicate environment we live in.
Our commitments guide every part of the guest experience, from reducing waste to caring for our oceans.
If taking care of the environment and being more involved in the community are some of your personal priorities, then join us on the beach to help make our world a cleaner place and protect our local wildlife!

We minimize waste across every touchpoint of the guest experience. Recycling programs, refillable in-room amenities, and mindful use of digital tools help reduce single-use materials and keep unnecessary waste out of landfills.
More than scenery, our tropical gardens are part of a living coastal ecosystem. We nurture native plants, protect pollinators, and support local wildlife habitats through sustainable landscaping and partnerships with organizations dedicated to preserving South Florida’s natural environment.
From farm to table, sustainability shapes our menus. Essensia Restaurant sources locally and seasonally, supports regional farmers, and proudly carries the Slow Food Miami “Snail of Approval” for its commitment to ethical, natural dining.
The Palms AVEDA Spa is dedicated to natural wellness, using plant-based, cruelty-free products and eco-conscious practices. Treatments are designed to nurture body and mind while honoring the planet.
At The Palms, sustainability includes culture and people. We partner with local nonprofits and schools, donate to community cleanups, and engages team members through volunteer programs that strengthen Miami from within.
With the Atlantic as our neighbor, ocean conservation is close to our heart. Through the Surfrider Foundation and local initiatives, we help protect marine life, reduce plastic pollution, and promote responsible coastal living.
