Set across 60 tropical acres on Duck Key, our Florida Keys resort offers endless ways to create your perfect island escape. Whether you are planning a family vacation, romantic getaway, destination wedding, corporate retreat or milestone celebration, every stay is uniquely your own.

Choose from breezy guest rooms, spacious suites and private villas, making Hawks Cay one of the most versatile places to stay in the Florida Keys.

Back on land, enjoy tennis and pickleball, treatments at Calm Waters Spa or quiet time beside the adults-only Oasis Cay pool and lawn.

Five distinctive restaurants offer something for every palate, while sparkling pools, a natural saltwater lagoon and a full calendar of activities keep kids, families and adults entertained. From relaxing weekends to longer Florida Keys vacations, every experience is just steps away.
