ABOUT LITTLE PALM ISLAND:

We are deeply honored to share that Little Palm Island has once again been awarded Three MICHELIN Keys for 2026, a recognition of our extraordinary island sanctuary and the gracious hospitality that surrounds every stay.

Personal by nature, Little Palm Island invites guests to immerse themselves in quiet seclusion, globally inspired wellness and exceptional culinary artistry that create a true sense of place.

Thank you to our guests, team members and partners who make this achievement possible.

Little Palm Island is one of a kind. Situated on a private island, 30 minutes from Key West, Little Palm is accessible only by our private ferry departing from the shore station. With a selection of 30 luxury suites, a Balinese-style spa, the main attraction is the exclusive waterside dining overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

For decades, guests have come to experience this exotic destination, award-winning fare, uncompromising service within a luxurious, yet comfortable Island atmosphere. After a recent multi-million-dollar renovation, prompted by Hurricane Irma, we are welcoming guests to a new and improved Island escape experience while maintaining the magic that is Little Palm Island.
