Hideaways' Review |
Imagine some sultry, deserted atoll in the South Pacific, ringed by a sliver of powder-white sand and surrounded by turquoise waters, and you’ll have a pretty good feel for the sensuous beauty of Little Palm Island. The twist? This hidden treasure is just 28 miles east of Key West, making it oh-so accessible. Even your arrival here is the stuff of dreams, either by seaplane or by private launch—with dolphins leading the way.
Little Palm is so convincingly "South Seas" that it was chosen as the site for filming the WWII drama, PT-109. Little Palm Island has changed little since then—except for the idyllic and very private resort which now is the island’s centerpiece. This exquisite lodge combines every wonderful little luxury with a low-tech approach to relaxation—you’ll find no telephones or television to interrupt the mood. What you will find are 30 thatched-roof bungalows, set on stilts and tucked here and there, mingling with the branches of surrounding tropical foliage. These exceptionally private villas offer palm-framed ocean views, tropics-inspired furnishings, verandas, outdoor showers, king-size beds with gauzy netting, and tempting hammocks slung between shady palms.
The island’s warm, tranquil waters are ideal for endless sporting possibilities, from wreck diving and snorkeling to sailing and fishing charters. You can indulge in exotic spa experiences like the Bali Spice Ritual, followed by a refreshing dip in the pool or a walk in the Zen Garden. Finally, end the day by dining on the beach under star-filled skies, on superb cuisine combining fresh Floridian and Pan-Asian flavors. |
