Bungalows Key Largo is adults only (21+) and the only all-inclusive luxury resort in the Florida Keys. Located 60 miles from Miami International Airport, this island oasis sits within a botanical garden edged by the ocean. The property’s 135 individual bungalows, surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico, offer private verandas outfitted with outside rain showers and soaking tubs, a spa bathroom with rainfall shower and plush robes, a mini fridge stocked with water and other non-alcoholic beverages, a 60” Beyond TV and two cruiser bikes that can be ridden throughout the property. Home to three distinct restaurants and an oceanfront Sunset Tiki Bar, there are many dining options for every type of traveler. Two full-service pools (the oceanfront infinity Sunset Pool and the lush Zen Pool, tucked away amid tropical palms) offer guests the opportunity to relax in a lounge chair beachside, under an umbrella or in a private cabana. Whether you’re into kayaking or snorkeling, or simply prefer to relax in a hammock overlooking the water, there is no shortage of activities here.
