The Florida Keys' premier full-service resort — 177 rooms and villas on a private island in Duck Key (Mile Marker 61), with a full marina, five pools, a saltwater lagoon, the Dolphin Connection program, multiple restaurants, a spa, and an unmatched amenity package in the Keys outside of Key West.
Why We Chose It
Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key (Mile Marker 61) is the premier full-service resort in the Florida Keys — a full-service marina resort on its own private island in the Middle Keys. The 177 rooms and villas face the Atlantic or Florida Bay; five pools include a saltwater lagoon; the full-service marina accommodates boats up to 60 feet and runs snorkeling, diving, and fishing charters. The Dolphin Connection program offers in-water dolphin encounters. Multiple restaurants, a full spa, tennis, and water sports round out the amenities. The location at Mile Marker 61 makes it the ideal base for exploring both the Upper and Lower Keys; it's approximately 90 minutes from Miami and 90 minutes from Key West.
