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.

This was our 2nd time staying at Little Palm for my birthday and I am just blown away every time. The grounds are gorgeous, the suites are unbelievably relaxing and the food and service are excellent!

Chef Brendan for the WIN though!!!! The food was fantastic and hands down the BEST birthday cake I have had in over 10 years. The thoughtfulness I felt during our stay was beyond anything I could have imagined. THANK YOU!! We will be back! Read less

This resort delivers on every detail from the arrival process via a nice boat ride to the look and feel of the casitas and public areas of the island. Make no mistake, this is a place to come and unwind with your spouse or by yourself. There are many excursions and activities offered to guests but this place is all about unwinding and relaxing. The food was consistently some of the best we have ever had at every meal. We need to eat gluten free, and the pastries, desserts, dinners, pancakes, etc were some of the best we have ever had.

Unforgettable experience. Amazing staff, beautiful location, impeccable hotel. The coral reef is a must visit, and every meal at the restaurant is to die for! It truly felt like we were thousands of miles away while being right at home in the states.

Everything is taken care of- you can do as much or as little as you want. It was a truly special experience- we are already planning to go back. November seems to be a perfect time to go! The property is beautiful and at times we felt like we were on our own private island. It is paradise
