From Stadium Roar to Island Respite

The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026. This will be the largest World Cup ever, featuring 48 teams across 16 host cities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Miami will host seven matches at Hard Rock Stadium (referred to as “Miami Stadium” during the tournament): four group-stage matches, one Round of 32 match, one Quarterfinal, and the Bronze Final. Featured matchups include Scotland vs. Brazil, Colombia vs. Portugal, Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay, and Uruguay vs. Cabo Verde.

Group Stage: June 15 (Saudi Arabia vs. Uruguay, 6 PM), June 21 (Uruguay vs. Cabo Verde, 6 PM), June 24 (Scotland vs. Brazil, 6 PM), June 27 (Colombia vs. Portugal, 7:30 PM). Knockout Rounds: July 3 (Round of 32, 6 PM), July 11 (Quarterfinal, 5 PM), July 18 (Bronze Final, 5 PM).

Tickets are available through the world cup’s official ticketing portal. Hospitality packages that include premium seating and amenities are available through On Location, the official hospitality provider.

Little Palm Island sits in the Lower Florida Keys at Little Torch Key, about 2.5 to 3 hours south of Miami by car (roughly 120 miles). The scenic drive along the Overseas Highway, crossing bridges that span turquoise waters, becomes part of the escape itself. Guests can also arrive by seaplane.

Little Palm Island is accessible only by boat or seaplane. Guests arriving by car drive to the Shore Station at Mile Marker 28.5 on Little Torch Key, where “The Truman” launch carries them across the water to the island. Seaplane transfers can be arranged for a more dramatic arrival.

As early as possible. With over a million visitors expected in Miami during the tournament, accommodations throughout South Florida are filling quickly. Little Palm Island welcomes a maximum of 60 guests, so availability is always limited. Book your island escape when you secure your World Cup tickets.

Rates range from $1,500 to $4,500 per night depending on suite category and season. The resort offers four suite categories (Escape, Romance, Grand, and Premier), all featuring thatched-roof bungalows with British West Indies design, four-poster beds, and outdoor copper tubs.

Yes. Little Palm Island is designed for romantic escapes. With 30 bungalow suites welcoming a maximum of 60 guests, this MICHELIN Three-Key destination offers barefoot elegance, candlelit dinners under the stars, and the privacy to reconnect after the excitement of the tournament.

Little Palm Island is the only private island resort in the continental United States and the only resort in the American South to hold MICHELIN’s Three-Key designation. The absence of televisions and phones in guest rooms is by design, not limitation. Named Travel + Leisure’s #1 Resort in Florida and a Condé Nast Traveler Gold List property for 12+ consecutive years, the resort offers exclusivity that geography itself creates.

There are no televisions in guest rooms by design. Guests who wish to follow tournament developments can access wifi and stream on personal devices. The resort’s philosophy centers on escaping constant connectivity, making it the ideal recovery from World Cup intensity rather than an extension of it.

Complimentary activities include kayaking through quiet mangroves, paddleboarding at golden hour, sailing Hobie Cats, and beach setup service. Excursions to Looe Key, the world’s third-largest barrier reef just minutes away, offer snorkeling and diving among technicolor reefs. SpaTerre provides Balinese-inspired treatments. Award-winning dining (Wine Spectator Award of Excellence) completes the experience.

Yes. Full island buyouts are available and offer a unique opportunity for groups traveling with families. While Little Palm Island maintains an adults-only policy during regular operations, private buyouts allow children to join the experience. With all 30 suites reserved, the entire island becomes your private sanctuary for multi-generational celebrations, corporate retreats, or friend groups sharing the World Cup journey together.

Little Palm Island maintains an adults-only policy (18+) during regular operations to preserve a tranquil atmosphere for all guests. However, families traveling with children can experience the island through a full buyout, which lifts the age restriction and gives your group exclusive access to the entire resort. For groups interested in this option, contact the resort directly to discuss buyout packages and availability.
