Little Palm Island Resort & Spa

This exclusive island hideaway is just a boat or seaplane ride off Florida’s Little Torch Key, yet feels worlds away. The five-acre private islet, ringed by a sliver of yellow sand and an iridescent green-and-blue speckled lagoon, is a romantic haven, indeed: secluded, swank, and sexy. The resort’s 30 luscious bungalows and suites are decked out in British Colonial grandeur with dark-wood furnishings, chandeliers, four-poster beds with mosquito netting, separate his and hers bathrooms with outdoor showers and claw-foot tubs, and curtains heavy enough to keep out the light if you and yours choose to stay in bed till noon. Expect private verandahs with ocean views, some with jetted tubs, chaise lounges, and at least one encounter with the island's adorable resident key deer. The candle-lit dining room serves up primo, yet pricey, French-Asian fusion cuisine, while long docks stretch over the water with lounge chairs arranged in pairs. Aside from sailing excursions, beachcombing, and spa pampering, there’s not much else to do except bed down and unwind in the closest thing to a lover's paradise in the continental U.S. www.littlepalmisland.com
