Little Torch Key, Florida Keys

Virgin rating

The hotel

No TV’s. No phones. Just the two of you. Sound like complete bliss? That’s what you’ll find at the Little Palm Island Resort and Spa. Arrive by seaplane or private boat to this island just off the Keys, and you’ll be greeted with a refreshing cocktail at the Shore Station, before heading to your luxury bungalow to enjoy a quiet, romantic break. The lush private island is dotted with tropical scenery and exotic wildlife, with your thatched roof bungalows nestled in between. Enjoy the copper bath on your private balcony, order some room service, or head to the pool bar to make friends – whatever takes your fancy! Of course, there is WiFi, and a TV in the main room for any essential events, but ringing phones are taboo here, so you can enjoy your trip in peace.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and to get away. The privateness and relaxation does not get any better than Little Palm. From the no phone call policy in public areas, to the fully private villas.... this place is so peaceful. I felt like 3 nights was the perfect amount of time- we left wanting to stay! We enjoyed a half day back country adventure where we enjoyed sand bars, wildlife, fishing, etc. The food was incredible. Every night, the menu changed and we enjoyed that! But most importantly, we loved the staff! So friendly and accommodating! Read less

We spent three great days enjoying like being in paradise,, the best views 360 degrees around some of the best sunset pictures I have got, service like nowhere. No need to sign your bills once you give your name as you arrive most of the staff knows you. The only part missing for me was swimming in the ocean, waters are shallow everywhere.

This is the place to go for a serious get away for a special occasion or just to regroup. High quality accommodations, friendly and very competent staff and beautiful setting. Liz at the pool bar and Tim and Tori at the restaurant bar made our stay.
