The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami
Recently transformed on Miami’s only barrier-island resort destination, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne pairs newly redesigned rooms, expanded wellness and refreshed restaurants with a broad Atlantic beachfront.
The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami sits on a five-mile barrier island just across Biscayne Bay from the city. The setting feels meaningfully removed from Miami’s urban core even though Brickell and downtown are only a short drive away.
The resort has emerged from a major transformation with redesigned guestrooms and suites inspired by Key Biscayne’s shoreline and mangrove landscape. Balconies, light-filled layouts and residential-style accommodations reinforce the island-home concept.
The renovation also expanded and refreshed the spa, while pools, beach access, tennis and family activities allow the property to function as a full destination resort. Nearby Crandon Park and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park extend the outdoor experience beyond the hotel.
The dining program has been substantially renewed, with Luma, Mediterranean-focused Paralía, Rum Bar, Dune Beach Bar and casual poolside options giving guests more variety than before the transformation.
The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne is best for travelers who want Miami while sleeping somewhere calmer. The island geography creates genuine separation from the city, and the renovation gives the longstanding resort a noticeably more current identity.
