The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami sits beside the Atlantic on Key Biscayne, Florida, United States, a barrier island linked to mainland Miami by the Rickenbacker Causeway. At 455 Grand Bay Drive, the resort places the beach close to the city. Rooms and residences face the ocean, the island, or the resort grounds.
The island stretches for five miles, with Crandon Park to the north and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park near its southern tip. The resort opens directly onto the sand. Open-air dining and pools keep the coast in view beyond the guest room. Boutiques near the lobby carry beach essentials, jewelry, Italian apparel, and resort wear.
Inside, the lobby has ocean views. The public interiors draw on Key Biscayne's coastal landscape, lush greenery, and Atlantic water. Contemporary furnishings and Caribbean references appear in the restaurant design, while mangrove and limestone motifs carry into the spa entrance.

The Rum Bar sits in the lobby and centers on cocktails. Dune Beach Bar is closer to the sand, with open-air seating beside the Atlantic.
Poolside, Stefano's serves wood-fired pizza. Scoop features Dolce Vita gelato, and Pura Vida Miami adds fresh cuisine and cold-pressed juices.
The Grand Lawn and the Ritz-Carlton Ballroom's outdoor terrace are ocean-view event settings. An oceanfront lounge and several salons add indoor meeting space on the property.
The resort opens onto the Atlantic beach, with pool areas set back from the shoreline. An adult pool and a family pool provide different places to swim, with a children's pool and whirlpool nearby. A dedicated splash pad adds another water space for younger children. Cabanas appear beside the pools and on the beach; the shaded private cabanas have lounge chairs and a flat-screen television.
Ritz Kids has a dedicated space for children ages five through twelve. The resort's family activities draw on the island's natural environment, including beach exploration and the Turtles & Tides theme.
The Cliff Drysdale Racquet Garden was designed by its namesake tennis player and commentator. Tennis, padel, and pickleball courts sit within a landscaped setting, with clinics and individual instruction described alongside court play. Stucco columns, tall hedges, and soft net fencing border the clay tennis courts; underground irrigation forms part of their design.
Crandon Golf at Key Biscayne is separate from the resort, farther north on the island. Its par-72, 18-hole course runs among mangroves, a subtropical lagoon, and seven saltwater lakes. Robert von Hagge and Bruce Devlin designed it, with a water-lined eighteenth hole closing the course.
The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Key Biscayne includes treatment rooms, couples' suites, and a salon. Its Journey Lounge, Spa Sensory Garden, and Spa Sanctuaries create spaces for rest inside and outdoors. Tropical greenery surrounds the outdoor areas, with scent and sound shaping its sensory approach. Separate lounges, a steam room, and a therapy bath add places to pause around a booked treatment. The Spa Boutique sits on the lobby level.
An ocean-facing fitness center provides cardiovascular and strength equipment, including free weights, rowing machines, treadmills, and Peloton bikes. A separate TREMBLE studio uses reformers for classes combining strength work, cardio, and Pilates. Elliptical machines, stair climbers, and weight machines round out the fitness equipment; the reformer studio is a class space rather than an open gym.
Beyond the resort, Crandon Park contains the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center, with environmental exhibits and guided nature outings. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park occupies the island's southern end, where the Cape Florida Lighthouse marks a different stretch of coast.
At Luma, the oceanfront setting puts the Atlantic in view while you settle in for an Italian meal on Key Biscayne.
Separate family and adults-only pools give you a choice between swimming with children and spending a quieter afternoon by the water.
