Midcentury oceanfront resort
The resort keeps a relaxed midcentury pace, trading Duval Street's late-night crowds for Atlantic breezes and drinks on the sand.
What it’s good at

Restored Victorian houses display gingerbread trim and tray ceilings beside tropical gardens.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The refreshed look mixes midcentury modern with breezy tropical decor: traditional wood flooring with woven throw rugs, large windows facing the water or gardens with palm trees, and an oceanic color palette.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The galleries and bustling bars of upper Duval Street are a short walk north, leaving this oceanfront corner quiet.

The rooms
Main resort rooms have wood flooring and ocean-blue rugs. Restored Victorian guesthouses add tray ceilings and four-poster beds.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the oceanfront pool facing the Atlantic, and quieter pools hide behind palms and pastel guesthouses.
The spa
Massages take place in an open-air oceanfront cabana or indoor rooms, using heated basalt stones and marine minerals.
Restaurant
Southernmost Beach Café
Tables sit right above South Beach under fringed umbrellas, serving fresh local catches and cocktails beside the surf.
At the table
Bars scattered across the grounds pour rum cocktails and Key Lime Coladas between the pools and the sand.
How it began
A 1950s motor inn expanded over decades by absorbing historic neighbors, eventually bringing four Victorian houses into the fold.
