An exclusive boutique hotel just off Key West, Sunset Key Cottages is nestled on a 27-acre island that is only accessible by a boat. In addition to its panoramic views of the turquoise blue waters and luxurious amenities, the hotel offers a unique chance to explore a different culture.
Here you’ll find two, three and four-bedroom clapboard cottages with pastel-colored wood finished and Victorian-style roofs surrounded by lush gardens and wide stretches of white sand beaches. Water activities are popular here, including diving, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing and parasailing.
In addition to the plush bedding, fully stocked kitchens and breakfast baskets with fresh pastries delivered daily, the hotel’s crown jewel is the gradual-entry outdoor pool surrounded by palm trees and a waterfall. If that’s not enough to ease your stress, lounge on one of the hammocks, book a private massage or have a beachfront dinner surrounded by tiki torches at the on-site Latitudes Restaurant.
Sunset Key Cottages gives you plenty reasons not to leave its property, except one. Standing out from its competition, “Cuba, Curated” offers you the chance to take a day trip to Havana and explore the country’s culture.
Setting the tone for your trip, on the eve of your departure you’ll get a private in-cottage rum tasting. Wake up the next morning for your one-hour flight from Key West, as your tour of Havana includes a private flight, ground transportation, and all your meals and activities covered for six people. You’ll only need your passport, as a personal escort and trip facilitator will be with you to secure visas and file required paperwork.
This luxurious excursion allows you to immerse yourself in the vibrant Cuban culture, with a single-day series of private tours led by local experts. You and your five guests will start your day off right at one of the city’s most iconic eateries like El Floridita, Hemingway’s famous haunt.
You’ll then get an architectural tour of Havana from a city historian where you can learn about the city’s colorful, Spanish style marvels that line the streets. This will be followed by a cigar factory tour by a cigar sommelier and a docent-led tour of the Havana Club Museum. A perfect excursion even for those who don’t like structure, you can create a custom day itinerary based on your personal interests.
