Far beyond what your eye can see lies a strip of tiny islands called the Florida Keys—otherwise known as Key West. If you’re ever lucky enough to travel to this piece of paradise, we provided some of the best places to stay in the Florida Keys.
Luxury
Luxury is a promise at this Keys’ resort. With 2.5 acres of private beach and 4 pristine pools, there’s always somewhere to soak and watch the sunset. You have your choice of beach houses, most of which are right on the beach. This resort decks out each villa with crisp white linen and glass doors for unparalleled views. The Caribbean-style resort makes you feel like you’re hundreds of miles away on a tiny island—but really, you’re experiencing this opulence in your own backyard.
The Spanish-style red roof sits proudly in the middle of Key West, enticing everyone to indulge in its beach-front opulence. This tempting hideaway offers visitors the choice of city or beach views, with amenities such as a kid’s club, golf course, spa, oceanfront pools, two restaurants, and the largest private beach in Key West. Casa Marina has been a key part of Key West’s sumptuous scene since 1920 and is within walking distance of the famed Duval Street.
If your pockets are deep enough, treat yourself to the Moorings Village, where southern charm meets the sandy shoreline. This luxury getaway has scattered hammocks throughout over 1,000 feet of natural white sand beaches. The Spanish named this piece of the Key West islands Islamadora and is world renowned for having America’s only living coral barrier reef. Relax in your private villa, and let the concierge fulfill your vacation desires.
Budget
Colorful and budget-friendly, Ibis Bay Beach Resort is an eclectic scene that evokes style and fun. Though the rooms are smaller, everything is clean, and the staff is incredibly accommodating. The pool features a swim-up bar as well as breakfast for a $10 daily resort fee.
