What you’ll love about The Hammocks at Marathon

in Marathon Key, Florida

Situated just off the historic Florida Keys Overseas Highway, The Hammocks at Marathon lets you and your family experience the best of the Florida Keys with each stay. The resort entrance envelops you in lush tropical foliage, and Caribbean music greets you at the door. Relax, you’re on island time now. The glass-enclosed lobby is impressive with its 30-foot cathedral ceilings and saltwater aquarium of a living coral reef. Resort accommodations feature cozy studios for two, or roomier 1- and 2-bedroom suite complete with full kitchens, baths, master bedrooms and more. All suites include a balcony to sit outside and enjoy the warm breezes off the Gulf of Mexico.

Spend a sunny afternoon poolside working on your tan while enjoy a beverage fresh from Barnacle Barney’s, the resort’s tiki bar and grill overlooking the on-site marina. Barnacle Barney’s serves beer, wine, frozen drinks and offers a full menu, including local favorites from both land and sea. Gaze into the clear lagoon waters and admire a menagerie of colorful sea life like parrotfish, tarpon and lobster, plus marvel at the graceful egrets, heron and pelicans roosting among the mangroves. And don’t be surprised to see an iguana or two perched amid the resort’s dense vegetation. Palm trees, hammocks and tiki torches dot the landscape, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing tropical getaway. And be sure to stick around for the resort’s “sunset celebration” held every evening and punctuated by a cannon salute as the sun touches the western horizon.

Both exciting water sports and fishing are only steps away. You can rent kayaks, boats and jet skis on site or charter a fishing boat for a thrilling day at sea.
