The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami has reopened its doors following a $100 million transformation. This intimate resort haven is set across seventeen acres of pristine beachfront and blends the oasis of Key Biscayne’s island lifestyle with the fashionable energy of Miami. Guests feel an immediate connection to the sea through the newly refashioned open-air architecture, uninterrupted ocean views, and a palette of sun-washed island tones and natural textures. Led by the global luxury hospitality developers Gencom and acclaimed design studios Hart Howerton, DesignAgency, and Chapi Chapo Design, the inspiring transformation marks the resort’s first comprehensive renewal in nearly 25 years, revitalizing every corner of its secluded setting.
The resort’s transformation celebrates stylish and refined sophistication—clean architectural lines, natural materials, and a design sensibility that nods to the island’s storied past and natural charm. The inspiring indoor-outdoor setting welcomes guests with a dramatic sweeping glass façade that frames panoramic views. Sunlight infuses the space with breezy, uplifting energy while a reflective fountain terrace flows from the lobby into the lush tropical gardens. Verdant greenery, open-air pathways, and expansive terraces embody the elevated island lifestyle, while the resort’s dynamic outdoor spaces come alive from sunrise swims to golden-hour cocktails—inviting guests to soak in the rhythm, spirit, and effortless enjoyment of Miami’s coastal playground.
