Little Palm Island

If there's one word that could be used to describe Florida's Little Palm Island Resort, it would have to be "paradise". Just off the coast of the Florida Keys, the island getaway is only reachable by plane or boat, which adds an air of really "getting away from it all". Once you've arrived, be prepared to step into a dream, because this resort is all about making your ultimate vacation fantasy a reality. Oceanfront views, secluded porches, outdoor showers, thatched roofs, award-winning cuisine, wine galore, and white sand beaches are among the features you'll find upon arrival. You'll be greeted with a cocktail and sent off to start unwinding. You'll also notice that there are no TVs in the bungalows, and that there are signs posted around discouraging cell phone use in public areas-- because no one's idea of paradise involves listening to someone else talk about work with their boss while enjoying a romantic, candlelit dinner.  There's really no reason to leave your suite, especially if you've gone all out and booked one that has a private beach and hot tub, but they've got a secluded pool and lounge area, a spa, a boutique, a library, and even activities you can book. The spa is especially luxurious; scented flower baths, massages, wraps, manis and pedis, and more are all given a tropical twist that will make you feel like you're tropical royalty. If you'd rather do something a little more exciting, then you can go deep sea fishing, snorkeling, kiteboarding, sailing, swimming with dolphins, or even skydiving. Personally, I'd grab a cocktail and go enjoy that oceanside hammock. Fun fact: you don't have to be a guest to take advantage of their legendary beach or soak in the perfectly picturesque setting-- outside boats can dock at their private marina for the day and use some of their facilities. Cue "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys... -Roadtrippers Indulge in a blissful affair with island isolation; where champagne is poured by mid-morning, the sea sparkles in the late-afternoon sun and the only decision of the day is whether to wake up for an early morning snorkel or lounge lazily enjoying a leisurely frolic. The best part? This is your romantic retreat and you never have to admit to anything. Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is a piece of paradise discreetly located off the fabled Florida Keys coastline so remote it’s only accessible by sea-plane or boat. A best-kept secret for US presidents and celebrities, your escape is simply waiting to drink you in. No phones, no TVs and no shortage of fun and romance. Can you live without your iPhone? Come visit and find out! Romance abounds in air-conditioned thatched roof bungalow suites, with custom-made beds draped under plush mosquito netting. White paths of crushed seashells meander through nearly six acres of tropical flowers, palm trees and sandy beaches.
