The Moorings Village

3 Best Day Trips from Miami | Condé Nast Traveler

"While some travelers live for the joy of meeting fellow jetsetters when they go anywhere, others prefer to exist in seclusion. Guests of The Moorings Village fall into that latter category. Though it’s located on an 18-acre stretch of waterfront land, the resort only has eight private villas, which truly makes it feel like you’ve got the place to yourself. (Not to mention the added privacy provided by more than 800 coconut palms, which works out to about 42.1 trees per villa.) With in-room perks like ocean views, porches with hammocks, king-size beds covered in pillows, and TVs with Amazon Fire Sticks, it feels as it the owners are going out of their way to devise ways to make you never want to leave. Throw in a private beach, complimentary bicycles, and on-site kayaks, and The Moorings Village really is the next-best option to owning your own oceanfront Keys villa." - Jennifer M. Wood
