2. Tell us what is so special about this location. 
SINGER ISLAND was first settled by the Seminoles in the mid-1800s, and modern-day Singer Island was named after Palm Beach developer Paris Singer, a son of the Singer Sewing Machine magnate Isaac Singer, who built a home in Palm Beach in 1917 and picnicked on the island with friends. The island is about five miles long and half a mile wide and enhanced by parks, marinas, hiking and bike paths, as well as 4.7 miles (7.6 km) of white sand beach. Today, Singer Island is a picturesque, upscale, and pristine residential destination, longtime home to professional golfer Michelle McGann, and rocker and E Street Band member Clarence Clemons. Singer Island is the setting of several Fredrick Exley novels.

5. What makes Amrit Ocean Resort special?
Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences, where Eastern principles and Western luxury meet and where spirituality and science, ancient wisdom and modern technology unite, offers a new paradigm of mindful living with unlimited potential. Amrit is purpose built to offer both residents & guest inspiration, guidance, and the means to embark on a personalized path towards greater physical and mental well-being. With founder Dilip Barot’s journey (from an up-bringing in a modest living space for a family of nine above a temple in India to having to having collectively conceptualized, financed, designed, built and successfully managed more than 20 million square feet of real estate across the globe including this $100 million real estate investment on the ocean’s edge), the story of one man’s quest to share the path to inner peace and happiness with others has sowed the seeds for a residence and resort project with a focus on physical and mental health. Amrit has been developing its programs over the past several years by partnering with experts such as spa designer/consultants, Susan Harmsworth, founder of ESPA International and Amy McDonald founder of Under a Tree and the renowned Himalayan Institute, a leader in the field of yoga, meditation, spirituality, and holistic health. Amrit’s goal is to be recognized as a leader in the fields of wellness real estate, wellness travel and holistic living.

Amrit blends technology and mind/body therapies to offer a customized, immersive 24/7 experience designed around the Five Pillars of Wellness: Nutrition, Fitness, Mindfulness, Relaxation, and Sleep. According to Barot, “People are craving lifestyle help them to live healthier, happier and longer. In many cases people are realizing that they have nearly sacrificed their health to gain their wealth — now they want to make up for it.”
