Thanksgiving in the Keys

Trade the usual Thanksgiving routine for a few days by the water. Gather the family for a holiday escape filled with beach time, warm Florida sunshine, and plenty of room to slow down together.

Enjoy Thanksgiving dining at Butterfly Café, and make a long weekend out of the holiday—no hosting required. Place a Thanksgiving order to-go if you’d like, too.

A Tropical Christmas

Make the holidays feel a little more tropical this year with a Christmas Day feast at Butterfly Café, cookie decorating, a beachfront photoshoot with Santa, and festive family activities throughout your stay.

Guests can join in the festivities with an Ugliest Christmas Sweater contest, matching group pajamas, Santa’s Nice List, and chances to win gifts and stay prizes. For an extra touch of holiday magic, festive in-room décor is also available when booking your reservation or through our local partner, Provisions Ahead.

  • New Year's Cheer

New Year's in Paradise

End the year somewhere you’ll want to stay awhile. Spend the final days of the year between the beach and the water, gather for our annual sunset ceremony, then celebrate into the evening at Butterfly Café’s black-and-white New Year’s Eve Extravaganza.
