In the lower reaches of the Florida Keys, there is a private island engulfed in a bubble of tranquility, immune to Overseas Highway traffic and the tourists clamoring for seats at waterfront cafes. Little Palm Island Resort & Spa delivers the balmy best of South Florida, yet feels like its own country – a place where nature coexists happily alongside island visitors and cell phones are discouraged in public view.

Location

Guests are transported to the six-acre island from Little Torch Key, approximately 27 miles north of Key West. The ride, in a charming wooden motor launch, takes about 20 minutes but somehow passes through a portal to the South Seas. One minute, you’re in the Gulf of Mexico heading toward mangrove-covered islets; and the next, Little Palm Island appears on the horizon, with its 30 thatched-roof bungalows and fringe of palms.

Accommodations

• Bungalows: Little Palm Island features 30 thatched-roof bungalows, each offering luxurious and secluded accommodations amidst lush vegetation and stunning sea views.

Amenities/Inclusions

• Dining: The sunset-facing restaurant elevates local seafood to an art. Guests can enjoy meals at the lounger-lined beach within waving distance of the central pool bar.

• Spa & Wellness: Heighten the decadence with a visit to the island’s tucked-away Spa Terre for a Balinese massage and turmeric body scrub followed by a rose-petal soak in an open-air bath. Private, in-villa spa treatments are also available.

• Activities:

  • Kayaking and paddleboarding.

  • Fishing excursions and dive trips.

  • Relaxing on the chaises while watching local wildlife, such as the great blue heron or resident Key deer.
