LITTLE PALM ISLAND RESORT & SPA – A PIECE OF PARADISE

Little Palm Island is a piece of paradise. At first glimpse from the private boat transfer,
Little Palm Island appears, floating like a brilliant mirage, in the Florida Straits.

The resort is set on a sweep of powder-soft sand with just 30 remarkable, oceanfront
suites. All Bungalow Suite, Premium Bungalow Suite and Island Grand Suite guest
quarters are housed in thatched roof bungalows, with custom-made beds with romantic
mosquito netting, so plush some guests never want to leave; and all the requisite luxe
amenities. There are no telephones or televisions, or guests under the age of 16 - the only
distractions are the outdoors and each other. All suites are non-smoking.

Essential island accessories are a good book and several appointments at the resort’s
Indonesian-themed spa, SpaTerre. This sanctuary exists solely to promote health and
wellbeing for mind, body and soul. Here exotic Balinese spa treatments and Thai body
rituals are custom-designed, incorporating a blend of ancient spa traditions once reserved
for royalty. Signature body treatments include the Javanese Lulur Royal Treatment, a
regal ritual that begins with a body massage of Jasmine Frangipani scented flower oil and
continues with a Lulur exfoliation to lightly color and scent the skin, a yogurt massage, a
scented shower and a soak in a Japanese tub infused with fragrant rose petals.

With a shoreline profile landscaped with over 250 Jamaican coconut palms, indoor
treatment rooms are just not enough. SpaTerre’s outdoor treatment areas are also
designed to be meditative spaces, where lapping water, rustling palm fronds and the
gentle sound of birds set the mood. The wetroom bungalow nestled quietly in the Zen
Garden, features a Vichy shower and outdoor hot tub along with an authentic Indonesian
reclining bed.

The Dining Room at Little Palm tempts with a vibrant blend of French and Pan-Latin
cuisine. Chef Luis Pous’ ever-evolving menu samples the finest in fresh, local fare, even
using key limes and herbs grown on the resort property. Guests can enjoy meals in an
elegant, candle-lit dining room, on a terrace perched above the beach where key deer and
songbirds visit, or at tables strewn along the beach. Gourmand guests will also enjoy the
new Chef’s Table, a privileged enclave positioned discreetly in the award-winning
kitchen of the Dining Room at Little Palm Island. Chef Luis Pous attends personally to
guests, preparing and presenting tasting menus that can be paired with his selection of
wine. In addition, guests can choose to dine privately at the coveted oceanfront Palapa
Point and/or Harbor Point.

The fun shouldn’t end there. Explore! Arrangements can be made for SCUBA,
snorkeling, backcountry and deep sea fishing, sunset sailing cruises, as well as guided
nature tours by canoe and sailboat. Several off-shore and mainland excursions are also
available. A highlight for divers is a trip to nearby Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary
to explore the wonders of the last living coral reef in North America. Trips to historic
Key West can be arranged, as well as visually dramatic and exciting seaplane tours.

Rates include valet parking, motor yacht transfers, accommodations, mini bar beverages,
water sport amenities, and nightly turndown service. Rates are subject to 12.5% tax and a
10% resort fee. Guests can also opt for the Full Meal Plan which includes breakfast,
lunch and dinner.
