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 hotel is absolutely outstanding. Peaceful and quiet island with transparent blue waters. You can go kayaking, paddle boarding, take a small boat to another island close by to picnic. The little villas are comfortable, food is amazing. Magical place.

We took a chance last minute and stayed here on our way to Key West. It was an expensive option to stay for a couple of days and didn’t know what to expect. At first we pulled into check in area and was greeted by a really cool area, they took our luggage and car, and quickly boarded us on a great boat “Bess” with a cocktail and whisked us off to the island. 15 mins later we arrived in what I can only describe as paradise. There are not enough superlatives to describe how good this place is. The staff are truly incredible and must be genuinely hand picked, we couldn’t name them all but Tammy, desray, Annie, Liz and co just made our stay fantastic. However the icing on the cake was Rolando. He really made our experience memorable. We will 100% be back as soon as we can as this place is one that just grabs you the second you arrive. My advice is, if you can afford it, don’t hesitate this is one great experience and ultra relaxing. No phones, no TV! Read less

Apr 30, 2025 spotravels Baltimore, Maryland

gorgeous location with excellent staff. it is a truly indulgent getaway. this isn’t our typical choice for a keys vacation. we live in naples & usually go to the keys for the tee shirt/flip flops/fun bars vibe. but little palm is a wonderful special occasion destination on a luxurious private island. very expensive & very beautiful.

First time visiting was incredible. Second time we got stuck in a room that lost AC. We were unable to get a room change and had to stay a night with loud portable AC units. A dinner was comped for us for the inconvenience. We still love the place.

My wife and I celebrated our recent retirement at LPI. We could not have asked for a more secluded disconnect from the everyday hustle. The service from the entire staff was 2nd to none. The accomodations were top notch. This was a tremendous opportunity to simply chill.
