Property description

At Amara Cay Resort, we want our guests to be inspired to craft their own Islamorada adventure. Let our waterfront setting set the stage. We're naturally laid-back and carefree but we take hospitality seriously. After all, this is the Sport Fishing Capital of the World. We're here to help our guests achieve a state of bliss – whether it comes at the end of a day spent fighting a prized catch, lounging in a hammock along the shore or diving in a nearby reef. Amara Cay is for the doers—the take-it-all-in, never-miss-a-moment crowd. It's for those who do more than appreciate life's little moments; it's for those who make the moment. It's the resort for the social. The initiators. The soon-to-be best friends. Amara Cay is a constant hum of laughter and conversation. It's beer garden casual, island-style. Never rowdy. Never too loud. Refined but not uppity. Hip but not hipster. Always welcoming—inviting you to join in and satisfy your craving for more.Whatever you do, rest assured, you'll be making memories to last a lifetime. From tropical cocktails at Tiki Bar to diving excursions, fishing charters and all manner of watersports, Amara Cay Resort is easy Islamorada tranquility redefined.
