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.

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

  • 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.

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.
