Seemingly scripted from a South Pacific deserted island fantasy, Little Palm Island offers visitors the ultimate escape. Accessible by boat or seaplane, this private island paradise in the Florida Keys lures travelers with its white sand beaches, towering palm trees, and stylish sophistication. Intimate and seductive, the thatched-roof bungalows are hidden behind lush, tropical plantings. Plantation chairs, rattan furnishings, and gauzy canopied beds make a romantic island colonial statement in the interiors. Guests relish leaving the world behind with the absence of in-room televisions, telephones, and computers here. Visitors get back to nature, albeit in the lap of luxury, with sensational outdoor showers adding an idyllic element to the bathing ritual. The resort entices with simple pleasures, like snoozing in the sun, succumbing to the pleasures of the spa (which features indoor and outdoor massage services), and floating in the freshwater pool. The singular experience here extends to dining, where palate-teasing flavors are served under a tiki-torch-lit star-filled sky.
