Cheeca Lodge & Spa, a luxury resort in Islamorada, Florida, occupies 11 hectares of landscaped oceanfront property with 0.3 m of private waterfront.

An adult-only heated lap pool with butler service and a separate family pool are open to guests. The full-service spa includes a steam room, hot tub, and treatment rooms offering massages, body wraps, and facials.
