OASIS IN THE KEYS AN INSIDE LOOK AT PLAYA LARGO, THE FIRST NEW RESORT BUILT IN KEY LARGO IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

ou can learn a lot about the new Playa Largo Resort in Key Largo, Fla., by sitting poolside for 20 minutes. In that time, you’ll likely strike up a conversation with a frequent vacationer to the Keys who will tell you enthusiastically that the property is the first new-build hotel or resort in Key Largo in more than two decades. From that poolside vantage point, it’s also easy to watch guests skimming across the calm waters of Florida Bay on stand-up paddleboards or in kayaks, and it’s an ideal spot to observe various boat trips—from sunset cocktail cruises to Everglades 106
