Everything You Need to Know About Staying at Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys
Did you know that one of the world’s best private island resorts is right here in the USA?
Waking up in one of Little Palm Island‘s thirty thatched-roof bungalows, surrounded by palms and beautiful beaches, endless watersports, chic pool cabanas, and five-star dining at every meal, I swear I felt a million miles away, despite only being a 20 minute boat ride away from the nearest Little Torch Key in Florida.
Those who drive are greeted at the Shore Station in Little Torch Key with Gumby Slumbers — the island’s signature coconut-soaked rum cocktail, invented by a former bartender and named for the delirious way it makes you feel — with just 10 minutes aboard the Woodson or Truman motor yacht separating you from lush Little Palm Island, where an alternate reality awaits.
Little Palm Island is a two and a half hour drive from Miami to Little Torch Key, or a one hour drive from Key West (where we flew into), and from Little Torch Key, you take a 20 minute boat ride to the island.
