Overview

The Amara Cay Resort is a destination all its own, and sits right along the waterfront in beautiful Islamorada, Florida. This is part of the famous Florida Keys region and is half the way between Miami and Key West. Islamorada has long been known as the Fishing Capital of the World thanks to the calmness of its crystal clear waters, the surrounding coral reefs, and endless number of vendors and tour operators.

The location makes it perfect for individuals, couples or families and groups eager for a tropical getaway, and the amenities of the resort only enhance its value as a vacation destination. There is the fishing and the swimming in the surrounding waters, but there are also such niceties as free shuttle services, a private beach area, manicured gardens and grounds, pet-friendly policies, bike borrowing, a fitness center, swimming pool area, water sports, outdoor lounges, and Reelburger. The last is a fantastic burger restaurant on the premises and it stands near to the tiki bar where signature cocktails and tasty bites are always available.

The resort features guest rooms and more luxurious suites. All are furnished with premium bedding and linens, furnished balconies or terraces, work desks, entertainment systems with cable and movies, free Wi-Fi, hot beverage systems, large and private baths with signature toiletries, and more. The suites feature full kitchens with dining areas, and beach chairs and pool towels.

When seeking a one-stop location for a Florida Keys holiday, the Amara Cay Resort is sure to delight.
