The Islands of Islamorada resort is an intimate, 4-star, oceanfront resort in the upper Florida Keys, a perfect place to spend the last days of winter and the early days of spring. Set on a private, white-sand beach, this boutique resort offers a tropical escape amidst Islamorada’s 17-mile stretch of paradise.

Known for its unpretentious, laid-back atmosphere; maritime culture; clear blue water; delicious seafood; and unique art galleries, this property is easily accessible by car, boat or seaplane. The residential-style resort is just a 90-minute drive from Miami, serving as a convenient and effortless escape for a romantic retreat, family vacation or water sports-filled getaway.

Not surprisingly, the resort offers a personalized experience centered around the water, where guests can indulge in sun-soaked beach days, incredible marine experiences and top-tier amenities. Two swimming pools, a private beach, designated children’s play area, marina, state-of-the-art fitness center and pickleball courts are all part of the resort experience.

The property includes a beautifully designed private area of 22 waterfront villas, most offering four bedrooms, full kitchens and outdoor recreational spaces. There are also eight one-bedroom suites with ocean views.

A dedicated concierge team can arrange private fishing charters with captains providing unparalleled access to the “Sportfishing Capital of the World,” with waters teeming with tarpon, marlin, snapper, mahi-mahi, tuna and more. Upon returning to the resort after fishing, guests can indulge in the ultimate reward: having the resort’s skilled chef transform their fresh catch into a delectable culinary masterpiece.

The area known as the Islands of Islamorada is composed of six different islands. The Islands of Islamorada resort is located on the island of Islamorada, the largest of the six islands.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
