An expertly curated, luxuriously produced compendium of all things Palm Beach, Palm Beach Illustrated brings to life personalities and takes you inside the exclusive homes, parties and interests of the world’s most affluent and influential people.
There is something about color that elicits a smile. It puts you in a sunny state of mind, makes you feel playful. Perhaps that’s why it’s so popular in Palm Beach, where joy and fun reign supreme. Yet not everyone likes to live with color—and those who do are often called “brave,” “creative,” or even “quirky.” Carleton Varney is happy to be guilty of such monikers: He has made a career of decorating with color and bold patterns in the tradition of his mentor, design legend Dorothy Draper. Does his formula work? To answer that, you need only walk into The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. That’s as exuberant as decor gets, and it’s nothing if not memorable.

Rock the Boat The Palm Beaches boast more than 150 artificial reefs, and its newest addition has a storied past. Before landing in its current location on the bottom of the ocean floor 1.25 miles off the Lake Worth Inlet, the Ana Cecilia was the first vessel to transport cargo from Miami to Cuba in 2012. Shortly afterward, it was used for more nefarious purposes. In 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized the ship following an investigation and search that led to the discovery of more than $10 million worth of cocaine. The Ana Cecilia was then donated to Palm Beach County and in July became the county’s latest scuttled ship turned artificial reef.
