Mote Marine Partnership

Our collaboration with Mote Marine deepens as we expand reef restoration efforts just beyond our shores in Newfound Harbor. Guests will have the rare opportunity to meet the scientists, witness coral cultivation firsthand and even sponsor coral throughout its journey of renewal.

Paradise with a Purpose

Within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Looe Key Reef is a wildlife refuge, and part of the third largest living coral reef in the world. Our luxury eco resort has long supported and partnered with Mote Marine Labs in their valiant reef restoration efforts.

For that reason, we have curated a package that includes:

• Daily waterfront breakfast for two
• One day of Snorkeling Looe Key Reef for two
• Two hats celebrating our efforts together
• One-time donation to MOTE Marine Labs of $500

Restoration of Sea Grasses

After Hurricane Irma, our Florida eco resort committed to restoring the island’s natural beauty — replanting native sea grasses along the shore and placing underwater buoys to protect the surrounding marine ecosystem.

A Strawless Escape

In support of our island’s vibrant marine and wildlife habitats, plastic straws are not used. Guests may request biodegradable options, thoughtfully chosen to help reduce sea debris and environmental impact at our luxury eco resort and surrounding waters.
