Guests will enjoy ocean views from their luxury rooms and a host of amenities, water activities, and dining adventures at a facility that has won too many awards to list.

Activities at Cheeca Lodge

One of the most impressive features at Cheeca Lodge is the expansive pool environment. Sunbathers will enjoy relaxing by the pool only a few feet from the Atlantic and well within reach of the attentive staff. The pool is large enough to swim laps and easily accommodates a wealth of children and adults. A lengthy dock stretches out into the shallow flats and serves as the base for the many water activities offered at the lodge. Snorkeling, diving, kayaking, and windsurfing are popular here as well as chartered private boat excursions, champagne sunset cruises, and sailing. The dock is also a favorite fishing spot.

here and many other catches are possible including mangrove snapper, barracuda, and tarpon.

Golf and tennis are difficult to find in the Florida Keys yet Cheeca Lodge has them both. A challenging nine-hole par-three course that has recently been renovated to enhance playing conditions is the perfect solution for guests who enjoy their sports off the water. Tennis pros are available for private and group lessons on Cheeca's six lighted courts that frequently host local tournaments and clinics.
