Casa Morada in Islamorada, Florida Keys

Casa Morada has a private manmade island with a freshwater pool, accessed by a footbridge from the main property. The pool area includes sun loungers, umbrellas, and a bar serving beer and wine during sunset. Guests can watch manatees and stingrays swim by from the pool deck.

The hotel grounds feature extensive tropical gardens designed by landscape architect Raymond Jungles. Walking paths wind through native plants, orchids, and hidden seating areas including a zen garden with a waterfall. A yoga hut is set within the gardens, used for complimentary yoga classes several times a week.

Complimentary use of kayaks, paddleboards, and bicycles is included for all guests. Snorkeling gear is available, and the nearby John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park offers world-class snorkeling. The hotel also provides board games and puzzles in the common areas.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning on a bayfront terrace. The hotel has an on-site bar on the private island offering beer and wine during sunset hours. Creative dining options with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients are available through partnerships with local restaurants.

The hotel welcomes dogs of all sizes, with pet bowls and a designated pet relief area on the grounds.
