Cheeca Lodge & Spa - A luxury oceanfront resort on 11 hectares with a private beach, 160.0 m fishing pier, three restaurants, and a 9-hole golf course

Cheeca Lodge & Spa, a luxury resort in Islamorada, Florida, occupies 11 hectares of landscaped oceanfront property with 0.3 m of private waterfront. The 160.0 m fishing pier is the longest in the Florida Keys, and a 9-hole par-3 golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus is on-site. Guestrooms at Cheeca Lodge & Spa feature dark hardwood furniture, a balcony with resort views, a 42-inch flat-screen TV, free WiFi, an in-room safe, and a coffee maker. Three restaurants and a tiki bar provide dining options: Atlantic's Edge serves tropically-inspired cuisine, Nikai Sushi Bar & Restaurant offers nigiri and sashimi, and a beachside café is available for lunch. 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. Six tennis courts, a fitness center with yoga classes, and water sports facilities (kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling) are available on the property. The resort provides a complimentary shuttle service to destinations within a 3 km radius, and Long Key State Park is 22 km away. A business centre with meeting facilities and family amenities such as kids' meals, indoor play area, and board games are also offered.

Pros
