Spectacular indulgence awaits in a true island getaway. Accessible only by launch ride from its shore station on Little Torch Key, the award-winning Little Palm Island Resort occupies a five-acre island at the western end of the Newfound Harbor Keys. But you may feel it’s your own personal island, especially when making your way through lush tropical foliage and flowers toward the thatched-roof bungalow that houses your one-bedroom suite. Designed with seclusion in mind, each oceanfront suite features a private veranda, king-size bed, separate living room, Jacuzzi whirlpool bath, and an outdoor shower, fenced with bamboo for total privacy. Amenities are plentiful, including a fully stocked minibar and coffee maker, but don’t expect to find a phone, TV or alarm clock. They’re serious about escaping from the everyday world! But if you must keep in touch, there is an in-room datalink and complimentary daily newspaper.
In addition to the bungalow suites, there are two grand suites boasting more than 900 square feet of space and appointed with slate floors, his-and-her bathrooms, four-poster bed, indoor hot tub and indoor/ outdoor lounging areas. All suites are decorated in classic British Colonial style with Caribbean accents.f you can bear to leave your room, resort recreation is extensive. Feel like being pampered? The Island Spa offers a range of massages, body treatments, In- donesian therapies and facials, as well as a number of salon services. On the active side, a PADI dive facility offers various certification courses along with a number of snorkel and reef and wreck dive excursions. Full- and halfday eep-sea or back-country fishing charters are available, while sunset or moonlight sails and sailing charters to Key West are provided by the 42-foot yacht First Lady. Guests may also rent angler boats, deck boats and Sun Kats, or explore the backcountry of Great Heron National Wildlife Refuge on an ecotour.
Complimentary to guests are such non-motorized watersports as surfbikes, kayaks, canoes, windsurfers and Hobie day sailers, as well as snorkel and fishing gear, beach lounges, towels and floats. Also omplimentary are the fitness center and life-size chess set. Relaxing by the lagoon-style pool or escaping to the white-sand beach are other alternatives. Another award-winning facet of Little Palm Island is its restaurant, famed for its fusion of “Floribbean” cuisine with Asian and French influences. Serving three meals daily, the restaurant also features a spectacular Sunday brunch and Thursday Gourmet Night. Guests may dine à la carte or select a meal plan. Inclusive packages and wedding packages are also available.
