The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Miami Redefines Coastal Glamour

The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Miami Redefines Coastal Glamour

The return of The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Miami marks one of the most exciting luxury hospitality moments South Florida has seen in years. Fresh off a dazzling $100 million transformation, this iconic island retreat officially reopens—ushering in a new era where modern coastal glamour meets timeless Miami elegance. Just minutes from the city’s electric energy yet worlds away in atmosphere, the resort reclaims its status as Key Biscayne’s

most coveted oceanfront escape.

Set across 17 acres of pristine Atlantic coastline, the newly reimagined property blends contemporary architecture, open-air living, and sun-washed textures that feel both elevated and effortless. From the moment guests arrive, the connection to sea, sky, and serenity is unmistakable—this is island living, refined.

A Modern Coastal Oasis with Miami Soul

The revitalized The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Miami celebrates the island’s mid-century glamour while embracing a fresh, design-forward aesthetic. Led by luxury developers Gencom alongside acclaimed design studios Hart Howerton, DesignAgency, and Chapi Chapo Design, the resort’s

first full renovation in nearly 25 years touches every corner of the property.

A sweeping glass façade welcomes guests into a sun-drenched lobby where ocean views steal the show. Reflective water features, tropical gardens, and breezy open-air pathways blur the line between indoors and out. Throughout the day, the resort flows effortlessly—from morning swims and poolside lounging to golden-hour cocktails and moonlit strolls along the sand.

Guest rooms and suites mirror this modern island sensibility with bespoke furnishings, natural textures, and palettes inspired by sea and sand.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces frame sweeping views of Biscayne Bay or lush gardens. At the pinnacle, the  Presidential Suite spans over 2,600 square feet, offering two bedrooms, expansive indoor-outdoor living, and panoramic ocean views worthy of a cinematic escape.
