"A secluded private-island resort offering barefoot, off-the-grid luxury with 30 beachfront suites across four acres, each with water views, outdoor showers, and private furnished decks. The adults-only vibe is intensely focused on relaxation—no TVs, no kids, strict phone etiquette, and never more than about 60 guests at a time—and dining highlights include Atlantic-adjacent meals that emphasize local seafood." - Chris Dong
"The most distinctive feature of the Florida Keys might be the Overseas Highway, the stretch of U.S. Route 1 that makes the trip from Miami to Key West into a routine car trip. But Little Palm Island is anything but routine. Guests arrive at the relatively ordinary Little Torch Key and transfer to a yacht named for Harry Truman for the final hop to an island that was one of the former president’s favorite haunts, and is now the only private island resort in North America: Little Palm Island." - Mark Fedeli
