From $245 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to PGA National Resort & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
PGA National Resort & Spa is a resort-and-spa retreat set in the Palm Beaches, a short reach from the coastal town of Jupiter and the greener, quieter stretch of Florida’s Atlantic side. After days at sea and a morning walking off the ship, it is the kind of place where the pace finally drops: rooms and grounds built for slow mornings, a spa to unwind in, and open space that feels a world away from the bustle of the pier you left behind.
The setting is part of the appeal. The neighboring Jupiter inlet is known for its turquoise water and its lighthouse, and the coast here folds in Jupiter Beach for anyone who wants sand and salt air on the first afternoon. Inland, Riverbend Park lays out trails for a walk or a paddle, while the Gardens Mall sits just to the south for shopping, a meal, or a stretch of air conditioning. Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is also close by, an easy add for travelers who follow a game.
What ties it together is how compact the surrounding area feels once you reach. The resort works as a base as much as a destination — you can settle in, book the spa, and still have the lighthouse, the beach, the park, and the shops within an easy drive. Whether you are staying on for a full stretch or breaking up the trip between ship and flight, the door of PGA National Resort & Spa is where the private ride ends and the quiet part of the trip begins.
The trip is door-to-door and entirely yours. Once your group clears the terminal at Port of Miami, the chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and the vehicle heads straight for PGA National Resort & Spa with no other stops and no other passengers along for the run. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, so there is nothing to move or watch over between the pier and the resort door.
From the port it is one steady run north along Florida’s Turnpike, ending at the entrance of PGA National Resort & Spa. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, which matters on the hectic weekend mornings when thousands of cruise passengers come ashore at once. The driver waits, the route is planned, and the fare is the flat rate set when you booked.
