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.
