Hawks Cay

Duck Key, Florida Keys

Star rating

The hotel

Tucked away on the small secluded island of Duck Key, this is your private slice of paradise. Think swaying palms, saltwater lagoons, and five glistening pools, perfectly paired with laid-back island vibes and upscale comforts. The hotel's commitment to the environment is as strong as ever - with a dolphin connection programme, so you can learn all about your stunning marine surrounds before you explore them in person. Relax in the spa or at the adult-only Oasis Cay if it's just the two of you. Or if you're with all the brood, they can let loose in the pirate ship pool. The hotel offers options right up to waterfront villas, so whoever you're travelling with, there's something for everyone. And from sunrise yoga to sunset cocktails, all your Florida Keys wishes can be met.
