Perched squarely between the rowdy Key West and booming Miami, Islamorada showcases a perfect amalgamation of both refined & edge and American & Caribbean. Remains elegant throughout the year, Islamorada flaunts a hippy environment and is more stunning than the infamous sprawl of Key West’s Duval Street. Boasting a mix of high and low, Islamorada is truly a gem of a destination in Florida.
Considered a midpoint on the Overseas Highway, the island serves more than just that – a pass-through. These days, modern travelers not just Americans but from other countries are liking the bustling arts scene, long stretches of wildlife preserves, swanky resorts, pristine beaches, and an aesthetic lifestyle. Stop by, explore the spellbinding coral reefs, unearth some of the oldest ruins at Indian Key Historic State Park, and more.
What better place could fetch you so much serenity and at the same time luxury and simplicity than Islamorada? The village that is comprised of six islands is a paradise for families, party animals, and romantic couples. Islamorada hosts the largest fishing fleet per square mile in the world, hence called the “Sportfishing Capital of the World”.
