Top 10 Key West Luxury Resorts: Cheeca Lodge

So many resorts promise you the world, only to sorely disappoint upon arrival. Fortunately, our No. 9 pick is a far cry from such resorts. In fact, everything this Key West luxury resort promises, it delivers – and then some – in inimitable tropical style.

For a tropical getaway in the Florida Keys, Cheeca Lodge is our hands-down favorite. Palatial oceanfront suites – the largest in the Keys – serve as your oceanfront retreat complete with private lanais, open-air spa tubs and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame inspiring Atlantic Ocean views. Island-themed décor can bring to mind gaudy palm tree murals and cheesy mosquito netting, but Cheeca Lodge’s lavish interiors are anything but! Dark mahogany furnishings, oversized beds draped with luxurious fabrics and palm-leaf ceiling fans blend the beauty of Key West with the peak of Florida resort luxury.

But it was what follows the “lodge” in Cheeca Lodge and Spa that truly captured our attention. Here on Islamadora, turquoise waters and fragrant tropical blooms set the stage for sheer rest and relaxation on your Key West vacation. Refreshing tropical breezes tickle your toes as you recline in a lacy hammock tied between to palm trees, while inside the Cheeca Spa, the soothing hands of a skilled masseuse lull you into a state of mind and body bliss.
