Key Largo, a gateway to the Florida Keys, offers a distinct blend of island relaxation and recreational golf. Visitors seeking a resort stay with golf access will find three well-rated options, each with a unique approach to combining water-front living with fairway proximity. Budgets for these resorts vary, typically starting from mid-range to premium, reflecting their direct beach or bay access and on-site amenities like multiple pools, spas, and dining. The key districts to consider are along the Overseas Highway and the bayside, placing you near both the ocean and key golf courses.
Top-rated among them, Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection, boasts a 4.3-star guest rating with a focus on luxury. It sits on 14.5 private bayfront acres, offering a full-service Ocean Spa, waterfront restaurant (Sol by the Sea), and private cabanas. This resort is ideal for couples or families seeking a pampered, quiet escape with direct water sport access. Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton, provides a more active, beachfront stay with two outdoor pools, a private stretch of Gulf beach, and on-site snorkeling and diving tours, appealing to nature-focused travelers and families. Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG, while more budget-focused, includes two pools with a waterfall and a tiki bar, plus easy access to John Pennekamp State Park for diving and fishing. A key tip: book early for the best rates, especially during high season, and verify if green fees or club rentals are included or available nearby.
