The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami<\/a> has long been the resort of choice for families seeking a natural retreat away from the fray, even if they had to sacrifice the glamour of the newer, flashier hotels elsewhere in Miami. Now, after a $100 million renovation that has re-energized the property, families\u2014and everyone else, for that matter\u2014compromise nothing. Read on for our guide to the newest facilities and experiences at the grande dame of Key Biscayne.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suite Dreams<\/p>\n

The resort\u2019s 421 rooms and suites, some of which are apartment-sized residences with full kitchens, have received the first comprehensive renovation in 25 years. The new look can best be described as \u201cquiet luxury,\u201d leaning on organic materials and the sea-and-sand palette beyond the massive-scale windows. Elevated mid-century notes combine past and present\u2014a recurring design theme throughout the resort\u2014and grant the modern, youthful vibe the property needed. Editor\u2019s Tip: Opt for the Club Lounge upgrade to enjoy a private space with rotating food presentations (including a full breakfast) and outstanding service.<\/p>\n

Key Biscayne is in the heart of Miami, yet it has a very different rhythm. Discovering the natural treasures of the island is central to this resort experience, so ask the team to pack a picnic and go explore. The Beyond the Horizon package includes a golf cart transfer to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park and a guided tour of its circa-1825 lighthouse. The view from the top is breathtaking. Editor\u2019s Tip: Plan to arrive early, before the crowds force the staff to restrict entry. If possible, avoid weekends.<\/p>\n

At 30,000 square feet, The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Key Biscayne is a shrine to multisensory wellness. The island\u2019s natural environment and history have inspired every aspect of the spa program, from the color scheme that recalls sand and mangroves to the treatments that use local ingredients and traditions. There\u2019s a renewed focus on the whole self, evident in experiences like Sounds of Spa, which uses singing bowls to cleanse the aura and balance the chakras, and the Tequesta Ritual, which channels Native American wisdom to detoxify the body. Editor\u2019s Tip: Make a day of it with hot and cold plunges at the Sensory Garden, followed by a virtuous spa lunch.<\/p>\n

Though there is no shortage of excellent dining options at the resort, the Aegean concept Paral\u00eda lures diners like Odysseus\u2019 sirens. The seaside location is Miami at its best, but the Greek and Turkish coastal flavors are so vibrant, you\u2019ll think you\u2019re in the Med. Highlights include authentic meze plates, kebabs, phyllo-wrapped savories and sweets, and the habit-forming Paral\u00eda Salata Istanbul. Editor\u2019s Tip: Book a table on a Friday at sunset for live music with a Greek island vibe.<\/p>\n

By day, excited children\u2019s voices make up the lobby\u2019s soundtrack. By night, the same area morphs into a dimly lit, music-steeped extension of the adjacent Rum Bar. As the name suggests, rum figures prominently in sips like the New Kingston, which combines the spirit with bourbon, banana, and jerk bitters. The collection of rums hails from all corners of the Caribbean, including Cuba, Barbados, and Jamaica, with a few from Latin America for maximum diversity. Editor\u2019s Tip: A rum tasting, available on request, explores the differences among Caribbean distillers and the nuanced flavor profiles of individual islands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Suite designs lean on organic materials and the sea-and-sand palette beyond the massive-scale windows.
