Water Sports & Activities

Guests can snorkel on the third-largest coral reef barrier, kayak through mangroves, or fish from the pier. The resort provides gear rentals, including paddleboards and fishing poles. A putting course, beach volleyball, and bocce ball are available on-site.

Islamorada Location

The resort is on Upper Matecumbe Key, 1 km from Plantation Key and Carysfort Reef. Lobster Trap Art Gift Shop is 2.5 km away. Miami International Airport is a 90-minute drive, with shuttle services available.

Event & Guest Services

The resort offers 110,000 sq ft of outdoor event space, including a conference center with Atlantic views. Services include daily housekeeping, bike rentals, and guided excursions. ADA-compliant rooms and pet-friendly accommodations are available.

“The townhouse-style villas offer a unique proposition for families in Islamorada, enhanced by access to the broader Islander Resort amenities. I appreciate the pet-friendly environment and the appeal of on-site fishing. While some may find the community vibe lively, the proximity to both natural attractions and organized activities makes it a practical choice for active travelers.”
