A Day Trip to the Keys | Playa Largo Resort & Spa

The luxury resort offers day pass access so you and your beau or friends can jump into the ocean-front pool or try out a water sport activity on the 745 ft. of gorgeous, sandy beach.
For an unforgettable way to wrap the day, book the Water Table Dinner, kick off your shoes, dip your toes in the water and claim a front-row seat to a stunning Key Largo sunset while enjoying fresh, locally-inspired cuisine from the resort’s signature restaurant, Sol by the Sea.
