Since 1946, the historic Cheeca Lodge & Spa has been a premiere luxury resort in the Florida Keys home to world-class fishing, exceptional accommodations, a sumptuous spa and gracious hospitality. Extremely family friendly, the resort is nestled on a private 27-acre estate in Islamoreda, located between North America’s coral barrier reef and the everglades, just 90 minutes south of Miami.
