Islamorada holidays
A laid-back Florida Keys escape made for turquoise waters, fresh seafood and barefoot adventure.
If Key West is the lively heart of the Florida Keys, Islamorada is its laid-back, effortlessly cool counterpart. Known as the Sport-Fishing Capital of the World, this collection of tropical islands is made for slower days, turquoise waters and that unmistakable “island time” feeling.
Set between Key Largo and Marathon, Islamorada offers an authentic slice of the Florida Keys without the full buzz of Key West. Days revolve around the ocean, whether you’re snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking through calm waters, heading out on a fishing charter, or hopping between hidden islands by boat. Back on dry land, you’ll find colourful waterfront bars, fresh seafood shacks, boutique galleries and sunset spots dotted along the Overseas Highway.
It’s a brilliant choice for couples, water lovers and multi-centre Florida holidays, especially if you’re pairing Miami with the Keys. Expect barefoot luxury, laid-back beach bars, ocean views for days and evenings best spent with a cocktail in hand as the sun drops below the horizon.

Getting around
Robbie’s Marina
A proper Florida Keys classic, Robbie’s Marina is one of Islamorada’s best-known stops. Feed the tarpon, browse the open-air market, book a boat trip, or head out on a snorkelling, kayaking or fishing adventure. It’s fun, colourful and full of that easy island energy.
Morada Way Arts District
Islamorada has a creative side too. The Morada Way Arts District brings together galleries, studios, local art and evening events, giving you a lovely break from the beach. It’s a great spot for a slow wander, a browse and a taste of the Keys’ local character..
Theatre of the Sea
Part marine park, part tropical garden, Theatre of the Sea is a family-friendly day out with dolphins, sea lions, turtles and colourful birds. It’s one of Islamorada’s most-loved attractions, with plenty to keep little travellers and grown-ups entertained.
Lorelei Restaurant & Cabana Bar
A sunset favourite with island charm, Lorelei is made for waterfront drinks, live music and seafood. Pull up a seat by the water, order something fresh from the menu and settle in for one of those classic Florida Keys evenings.
Lazy Days Restaurant
Fresh seafood, ocean views and a relaxed Keys feel make Lazy Days a brilliant choice for lunch or dinner. Expect fish dishes, seafood platters, sandwiches, steaks and cocktails, with the option to have your own catch cooked up after a day on the water..
Morada Bay Beach Café
Barefoot dining, palm trees and views across the sand — Morada Bay Beach Café has holiday mode written all over it. The menu mixes fresh seafood, island flavours and easy-going favourites, making it a lovely spot for a long lunch or sunset dinner.
The Overseas Highway
Islamorada sits along the famous Overseas Highway, so the journey is part of the experience. From Miami, it’s around 72 miles by road, with turquoise water, bridges and island scenery along the way. Hiring a car is the easiest way to explore at your own pace.
Mile markers
The Florida Keys use mile markers to help you find your way, showing the distance from Key West. Islamorada sits in the Upper Keys, between Key Largo and Marathon, so it’s a great base for exploring beaches, marinas, restaurants and nearby islands.
Road trip freedom
A car gives you the freedom to make the most of Islamorada and beyond. Head north to Key Largo for reef trips, south to Marathon or Key West, or stay local and hop between waterfront bars, galleries, beaches and boat-trip departure points whenever the mood takes you.
Whether you’re planning a Florida Keys road trip, a beachy twin-centre with Miami, or a stay that’s all about water, seafood and sunshine, Islamorada has that easy island magic. It’s relaxed without being sleepy, adventurous without trying too hard, and full of those little holiday moments that make you forget what day it is.
