About Key Largo

The longest island in the Florida Keys, Key Largo is a 33-mile stretch of sand, brimming with wildlife and wonderful ocean-based activities. Whilst much of the island is dominated by low-lying residential areas, Key Largo has far more to offer than first meets the eye, and is an excellent base for an active tropical holiday, with simple guesthouses and small hotels catering to a whole host of budgets. Our pick of the best places to stay in Key Largo includes a fun, friendly beach hideaway for the whole family, and an elegant adults-only retreat, perfect for unwinding in absolute bliss.

With its proximity to Miami making it easily accessible as part of a Florida itinerary, Key Largo has particular appeal for wildlife lovers. Discover the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary and the Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, or take the kids to pint-sized Harry Harris Park, where there’s a playground and a lovely lagoon for balmy swims. Don’t miss the wonders of the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, either, where you can follow nature trails or take snorkelling and diving trips to admire the magic hidden beneath the water’s surface.

Key Largo’s biggest town, Tavernier boasts cafés and eateries aplenty, as well as some great family-friendly attractions. Stay close to Tavernier if you’re eager to explore on foot or by bicycle, or base yourself at the more remote end of Key Largo for a quieter sense of seclusion. Whether you’re drawn to the Florida Keys for an active family holiday or a rejuvenating couple’s retreat, the best places to stay in Key Largo promise gorgeous beachfront suites with striking sea views and fresh seafood to savour.
