Rooms & Suites: 30
Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is an exclusive luxury resort located only an hour from Miami, but feels like Tahiti or Bali...
You wake up to a blissful quiet, broken only by a heron's call and the gentle lap of waves. You snuggle closer. A cloud of soft linen envelops you in a comfortable cocoon. You dream of your trip here last night on The Truman, the 35 foot launch named after one of the island's most famous guests, and glide again through sultry waters to arrive at this remote island full of Jamaican palms and exotic blossoms. And you wonder if you can ever leave. Welcome to Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, the internationally acclaimed private island paradise, listed among the top resorts in the world by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel+Leisure magazine. Tucked offshore of Little Torch Key and accessible only by boat or seaplane, the resort is a world unto itself, alive with hidden pleasures. Crushed seashell paths wind through lush gardens to thatched-roof bungalows, which serve as your guest quarters. Extra spacious, each suite and grand suite has romantic touches such as a king-size bed draped in butterfly netting, verandahs with ocean views and, in some rooms, private outdoor showers and jetted tubs. From the lagoon-style pool to the meditative Zen Garden or the cozy Great Room library, a perfect serenity sweeps over you as you wander the island. Oversized hammocks beckon from the trees. Lounge chairs nestled in the sand call from the beach. And at the end of the day, return to your private bungalow for peaceful seclusion to dream again. We welcome children 16 years of age and older. We regret that pets are not permitted on the island. President Harry S. Truman and wife, Bess, visited often when the island was a private fishing retreat, and President Kennedy came when PT-109, the story of his World War II exploit, was filmed here. Today Little Palm Island attracts an international clientele of celebrating couples, lawyers, doctors, businesspeople, and celebrities seeking peace, quiet, and privacy. (Guests must be at least 16 years old.) Little Torch Key, Florida Keys, 120 miles from Miami. Resting 3 miles off-shore, some 30 miles from historic Key West, Little Palm is a five-acre oasis in the Atlantic Ocean. Fast running tides have created a pristine white sand beach and deep-water dockage for visiting yachts. Hundreds of Jamaican Tall coconut palms grace the shoreline, planted by the first inhabitant, Newton Munson.
