Our picks: Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne is a luxury resort set along its own stretch of private beach. Elegant rooms have stately décor and large windows and private balconies offer coastal views. Escape to a luxury Miami Beach resort that exudes the classic charm of South Florida. Located on an exclusive five-mile-long barrier island, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami is just minutes from dynamic downtown. Beach Haus Key Biscayne comprises a collection of one and two bedroom apartments. The chic minimalist units, complete with fully equipped kitchens, are a great option for a home-away-from-home for those on longer stays. Best yet, there is a large pool and the beach is a stroll away. What to do: Key Biscayne has terrific beaches and the added appeal of being sandwiched between two major parks – Crandon Park to the north and Bill Baggs Florida State Park, named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the best beaches in the nation, to the south. But while south Florida’s gorgeous turquoise waters are a sight to behold— you haven’t seen anything until you’ve gone beneath the surface. Biscayne National Park’s snorkeling is some of the nation’s best, complete with colorful coral, shipwrecks, sea life, and more, waiting to be discovered under the surface. Not sure where to start?
