Holidays in Florida Keys

Discover a world of over 1,700 sun-soaked islands

The stunning keys are a perfect escape no matter whether you're looking for action and adventure, or to lie on a beach doing quite literally nothing.

Hire a car and hit the road along the famous Seven Mile Bridge, exploring colourful coral reefs, unspoilt beaches, an array of water sports, and great nightlife. There's no need to rush when you're on 'island time', so break up the journey and explore as many of the different keys as you can. The only thing missing from the Keys is you.

Island hopping and highway driving: Florida Keys explained

Strung out on the edge of the Caribbean, the Florida Keys are a sweeping chain of over 1,700 spectacular islands, untouched natural habitats and pristine coral reef. But don’t worry — among all the natural wonder, Florida Keys holidays are well-equipped to give you a bit of 21st century luxury too. You’ll find all the premium hotels, buzzing bars, sophisticated restaurants, and water sports you’ll need to get your heart racing.

Linked by U.S. Highway 1, otherwise known as the Overseas Highway, the journey through the Florida Keys is one of the most iconic in the country. If there’s one thing more American than a road trip, it’s a road trip that takes you all the way to Key West!
