Escape to the Island

Adults-Only Private Island · 30 Thatched Bungalows · Arrival by Emmy Lou

The Advisor's Edge

"No phones. No televisions. Disconnect to reconnect."

Little Palm Island sits three miles offshore in the Florida Keys, reached only by a 20-minute ride on the property's Emmy Lou, a mahogany motor yacht that picks you up at Little Torch Key. That short voyage is the threshold. Step aboard and the world quiets. Step off and you are on five and a half acres of adults-only private island.

There are no phones in the rooms. No televisions. No children. Thirty thatched-roof bungalows with British Colonial interiors, private decks, outdoor showers, copper tubs, and a five-star Noble House property that practices the rare hospitality of knowing exactly when to stop.

We recommend Little Palm Island for our most discerning clients seeking a high-end, tropical retreat without leaving the United States. Honeymooners, celebrants, travelers who want to disappear for a long weekend. No passport. No layover. No cell signal by choice.

The Arrival

Aboard Emmy Lou,
to Little Palm.

Park your car at Little Torch Key. Step aboard the Emmy Lou, a classic mahogany motor yacht reserved for resort guests. Twenty minutes across a sheltered channel, past uninhabited islands and frigate birds, and the island appears: thatched roofs, white sand, lush tropical foliage.

The ride is a ritual, and the ritual is the point. The island cannot be reached any other way.

Island Living

Thirty Thatched Bungalows.
Ocean at Every Door.

Views of gorgeous turquoise water and tiny uninhabited islands are enjoyed from all thirty luxury suites. Thatched bungalows exude British Colonial flair with gorgeous interiors. Vaulted ceilings, four-post king beds with butterfly netting, copper tubs, outdoor showers with wood surrounds, and private decks with fire pits on sand.

Culinary Excellence

The Dining Room
& The Monkey Hut.

The renowned Dining Room has been enhanced to encompass sweeping views of the ocean, combined with a guest favorite, The Monkey Hut lounge. World-class cuisine served three times daily in an open-air setting where the menu rotates with what comes off the boat that morning.

Private cabanas have been added to the oceanfront pool area, and the well-loved Palapa Bar is returning better than ever. Room service, 24-hour in-suite dining, and private beach dinners are available by request.

The bar at Little Palm Island

The Bar

Rum, Reef, & Sunset.

Under the thatch of the Palapa Bar, cocktail hour is its own unhurried ritual. Aged rums, craft cocktails tuned to the tide, and small-plate menus that bridge afternoon into evening. The sky does the rest.

Spa Terre at Little Palm Island

The Art of Relaxation

Spa Terre

A world-class spa featuring a two-story atrium with hand-carved wooden columns and a hand-crafted tile fountain. Exotic treatments blend Balinese, Javanese, and Thai traditions with the reef's own rhythms: salt scrubs drawn from Florida waters, massage under open-air palapas, and hydrotherapy rituals paced to the tide.

Couples suites face the ocean. The outdoor soaking tub and atrium encourage you to stay long after the treatment ends.

Frequently Asked

Questions, Answered

Where is Little Palm Island, and how is it reached?

Little Palm Island is America's only private-island resort, off Little Torch Key in the Florida Keys. Access is by private boat (the resort's yacht Emmy Lou) or seaplane from Little Torch, about a fifteen-minute run. There is no bridge. The journey to the island is part of the arrival experience.

What defines Little Palm as a luxury property?

Thirty thatched-roof bungalows on a five-acre island, every unit with ocean frontage. The property is strictly adults-only. There are no televisions in the rooms, no cell service in most of the property, and no motorized watercraft noise beyond the resort's own launch. The setting operates as a deliberate escape.

Who books Little Palm Island?

Couples looking for private-island seclusion without leaving the United States. Milestone anniversaries and elopements. Travelers who want the Caribbean feel of a private island with the simplicity of a domestic U.S. trip. For guests who want more active programming or children's facilities, the property is not the right fit.
