Occupying much of Duck Key in the Florida Keys, Hawks Cay Resort spreads between a marina, saltwater lagoon and a series of palm-lined pools. Guest rooms and villas have a relaxed coastal character, with balconies, pale finishes and layouts that range from hotel accommodation to multi-bedroom residences. Salt + Ash and Angler & Ale lead the dining options, while Calm Waters Spa and watersports facilities make use of the resort’s island setting. Paths connect the main hotel, beach areas and marina slips, with low-rise buildings arranged around turquoise water rather than a single central tower.
