Key Largo is the first stretch of the Florida Keys, home to winding creeks and some of the most fascinating botanical scenery in the Sunshine State. With two state parks, a national park and even a portion of a national marine sanctuary (a huge artificial reef) to explore, you can enjoy a range of activities both above and below the water. Think diving, sport fishing, beaches, nature trails or maybe even an underwater hotel? (Yep, you read that right..!) Alternatively, unwind in the comfort of a charming seaside resort such as…

Bakers Cay Resort

Surrounded by tropical forest, this beachside resort offers an easily accessible, yet secluded stay. Boasting an excellent selection of watersports, extensive nature trails and a balcony or patio with each room, this is a fun place to be in the Keys.

Next along the overseas highway is Islamorada, a haven for sport fishing enthusiasts. If this floats your boat, you will enjoy having access to highly skilled fishing guides and an array of impressive marine life as well as lush state parks to discover, and crystal waters to wade through. What’s more, the food is a headliner – with fresh-from-the-dock seafood in secluded tiki bars and cafés, against spectacular sunset backdrops. Our pick for accommodation in Islamorada is the beautiful…

Amara Cay Resort

Boasting an enviable waterfront location, this laidback hotel is a wonderful spot from which to explore. Relax in a hammock on the private beach or head out into the nearby waters bursting with marine wildlife.

Halfway down the Keys is Marathon, a chilled out 10 mile island that provides a convenient location for your stay. The coast is dusted with waterside restaurants offering fresh fish, lobster and stone crab from the surrounding waters. You can enjoy impeccable beaches and great snorkelling, and you can also learn about natural history at Crain Point Museum. Why not stay at a tropical, oceanfront resort such as…

Isla Bella Resort

Set between glistening ocean, sandy beach and swaying palms, this chic yet relaxed oceanside resort is a real gem in the heart of the Keys. Situated along a mile of pretty shoreline, enjoy an array of watersports, excellent local cuisine and many a sunset from your own outdoor deck.

The road has got to end somewhere and in this case it’s the USA’s southernmost point, Key West! Here the streets are lined with colourful buildings, friendly restaurants and local crafts, and as Key West is actually closer to Cuba than it is to Miami, you can feel the vibrant influence of Cuban culture. In the evening head to Mallory Square in the Old Town where friends and family gather for the nightly sunset celebration – you can watch tightrope walkers, jugglers and dancers perform before the glowing sun dips below the horizon. We recommend staying at the charming…

Ocean Key Resort & Spa

This charming resort reflects island living with its laidback pace and bags of charm. It is just steps away from all that Old Town Key West has to offer and boasts front row seats for the nightly sunset celebrations at Mallory Square. The perfect choice for where to stay at the end of your Florida Keys trip.
