Escape on a Romantic Honeymoon in Key West, Florida

By: Maureen Mattson, ERV Asst Editor - Updated: Oct 1, 2019   

Laid-back Key West could be the perfect Florida honeymoon! Compact and colorful with Caribbean-like weather, this southernmost tip of the USA has a "Bohemian" personality and feel unlike anywhere else in America.

Sunsets - Another Reason Key West Honeymoons are Special

Honeymooning in Key West means no long overseas flights for U.S. Residents, and the cost can be considerably less expensive than going overseas. 

All-Inclusive Key West Honeymoon Package

A true honeymoon package should be more than just a run-of-the-mill romance package, which many places offer. We feel that at the very least, breakfast should be included. So with that in mind, here's Excellent Romantic Vacations' top pick:

Key West's Best Honeymoon Suites

Ambrosia Key West - Honeymoon Room

• Honeymoon Rooms at the Ambrosia Key West B&B - mentioned above as our #1 pick, this 2nd story suite has a beautiful 2-person jetted spa tub, private entry and a romantic four poster bed. If you don't particularly need an in-room hot tub, they've got 2 other options that look great: "Bob's Place" and "Katie's Kottage" which are townhouse and cottage style accommodation that share a terrific feature: access to a dip pool just steps from the unit.

• Key West Marriott Beachside Hotel Presidential Suite - one of the nicest hotel honeymoon suites in the Key West area belongs to the Marriott Beachside. This is not your ordinary chain hotel suite: there's a very nice whirlpool tub to relax in, his n' her robes, evening turn down service, and a brilliant view of the Gulf of Mexico from your private balcony. Prices for this suite start at around $334/night. 2019 ERV Rating* for Romantic Key West Resorts: 85% - Very Good. (3841 North Roosevelt Blvd, Key West FL 866-679-5490) 

Honeymoon Activities for Couples in Key West

Here's some romantic things to do for couples on a honeymoon in Key West Florida:

Key West sunsets are some of the best in the USA! To really appreciate them, you have to get out on the water. For a romantic sunset cruise, Double Decker Sailing Charters have 3 hour private Key West sunset dinner sailing trips.  (201 William St, Key West, FL  305-731-7232) 

Key West Conch Train Tour - a fun way to see historic Old Town, Hemingway House and the Historic Seaport. (303 Front st, Key West, FL  305-294-5161)

Other Key West romantic places and activities include:

• Sunset celebration at Mallory Square
• Rent a bike or scooter. They're fun ways to explore Key West, or...
• hire a convertible, and go for a sunny drive up the Keys!
• For one of the best sunsets in Key West, make your way up to the roof-top of the Crowne Plaza La Concha Hotel

Beach Lovers - Key West is not known for long stretches of sandy beach. We found better places just a few miles north in the Florida Keys, especially at Bahia Honda. 

Key West Travel Info - The distance from Miami to Key West is 164 miles (255 km). Best time to visit Key West and the Florida Keys is pretty much anytime, but keep in mind that hurricane season runs from July to November.
