Three Waters Resort & Marina, a Tribute Portfolio Resort will open its doors this fall in the Florida Keys.

The upscale property is set to become the crown jewel for the Islamorada Resort Collection, which also includes Amara Cay Resort and La Siesta Resort & Villas. It is the first location in the Florida Keys for Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio brand, which is comprised of characterful, independent hotels.

Named for the three bodies of water that surround the Florida Keys (the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean), Three Waters Resort & Marina spans 15 acres of oceanfront property in the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World.” It will feature 214 island-inspired guestrooms, nine distinct new dining concepts, and a wide variety of authentic and upscale experiences.

Highlights of the new resort include:

• The Cove, an adult-centric, resort-within-a-resort, offering guestrooms and suites with king beds, a tranquil private beach lagoon, and the resort’s Wave Motion Studio;
• an enhanced lobby featuring decor that uses local, natural materials such as coral stone, and which is home to the resort’s Rum Library;
• a variety of indoor and outdoor event and meeting spaces;
• wellness activities and experiences including sunrise and full moon yoga, Reiki and sound bowl meditations, and pools with swimming lanes;
• two new retail options: Abel’s Tackle Shop and General Goods (bait, tackle, other supplies for boaters and fishermen), and Salt + Sea Islamorada Lifestyle (island apparel, locally curated keepsakes, etc.);
• an all-new water taxi, Rum Runner, providing transportation between resorts in the Islamorada Resort Collection and Miami Seaplane;
• the Islamorada Dive Center, where guests can take scuba courses, and book scuba diving charters and sandbar outings as well as snorkeling, spearfishing and sunset cruises;
• and a 72-slip marina.

Three Waters’ nine new culinary concepts are:

• A signature restaurant (name to be announced) featuring live fire cooking on an open hearth at the center of the restaurant;
• Tiki Bar – a nod to the legend that the Florida Keys is home to the original Rum Runner cocktail – with mid-century modern aesthetic;
• Mercado Morada, an oceanside venue with several food truck windows serving up dishes that celebrate Central American cuisine and street food culture’
• Little Limón, located above Mercado Morada and delivering an elevated cocktail and raw bar experience;
• Islamorada Pizza Co., which will serve signature pizza pies, fresh salads, frosé, beer and wine;
• Lucky Twist, a soft-serve ice cream shop;
• Kokomo, the resort’s swim-up bar;
• Hideaway, located poolside at The Cove and offering healthy dining options and lighter cocktails;
• and Starbucks for coffee and light bites.

“Guests are invited to discover an all-new Florida Keys experience at Three Waters Resort & Marina, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, where we are blending the history and authentic spirit of Islamorada with new and unique guest experiences,” says Matt Skaletsky, general manager.
