For this edition of our Hotel Spotlight series, we connected with the team at Islander Resort—a 24-acre retreat in the Florida Keys designed to help guests slow down, recharge, and reconnect. With newly renovated bungalows, lush landscaping, and open-air programming designed to support rest and movement, Islander offers guests a space to reset. From morning yoga to saltwater swims and quiet evenings by the fire pit, here’s how the resort blends natural beauty with a thoughtful approach to hospitality, and why it’s become a destination for mindful travel and wellness retreats.
Tucked into the shoreline of Islamorada, Islander features 114 oceanside bungalows and suites, plus 25 townhome-style Bayside Villas. Guests can explore winding paths lined with native plants, dip between two cabana-dotted pools, paddle board along the reef, or roll out a mat in-room for a quiet yoga session. A newly added activity zone includes pickleball courts, a 9-hole putting course, and a variety of on-site water sports.
As the team puts it, “Guests at Islander Resort are looking for experiences that let them exhale—where luxury feels effortless and nature sets the pace.” Whether that’s a guided yoga class overlooking the ocean or a moment of quiet on a shaded deck, the resort makes room for both movement and stillness.
This ease is central to Islander’s growing role as a wellness retreat destination. With flexible indoor and outdoor venues, locally sourced dining, and support for group programming, the resort welcomes gatherings focused on restoration, exploration, or simply pressing pause.
Yoga, in particular, has become a grounding element of the guest experience. “Islander Resort’s wellness vision was born from a desire to offer guests more than just a beautiful place to stay—it's about creating space for restoration, reflection, and reconnection,” the team shared. “Inspired by the natural rhythm of the Florida Keys, we seek to weave wellness into the everyday guest experience, not only as a luxury but as a way of life.”
As part of that vision, Islander partnered with Manduka, placing PRO mats in every guest room and offering access to Manduka’s complimentary digital class library, so guests can enjoy a full yoga experience from the comfort of their own room.
Whether you're visiting for a long weekend or planning a group retreat, Islander Resort offers a calm, coastal setting where wellness is part of the experience.
