Islamorada

If you’ve been looking for a brief getaway that combines your love of the Florida Keys with cocktails on the beach, seaside excursions, and tropical foods, look no further!

A mere two hours away from Miami, the four islands of Islamorada are well-known for having an upscale, small-town vibe with plenty of seafood restaurants, museums, boating, and, of course, lots of sunshine.

But beaches aside, this road trip-worthy small town is home to not one but two funky breweries we think you should visit: Islamorada Beer Company and Florida Keys Brewing Co. both brew local beers with Keys-inspired ingredients, from starfruit to key limes and honey.

If you want to make the most of the beach and boating, reserve your stay at a villa at Hadley House.

It’s near some of the Key’s most popular attractions and restaurants, with water sports, cocktails, and other activities like breweries and museums less than a five-minute drive away.

You can also take advantage of complimentary on-site kayaking and paddle boarding. Or, for an added fee, a private jet-skiing tour of the surrounding keys.
