Beachfront resort on Key Biscayne, about 20 minutes from Brickell via the Rickenbacker Causeway, with a spa and tennis courts.
The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, Miami is a beachfront luxury resort at 455 Grand Bay Dr on Key Biscayne, Florida, the barrier island reached by the Rickenbacker Causeway from Brickell. The drive from Brickell or Downtown Miami takes roughly 20 minutes in light traffic, and Miami International Airport is about 30 minutes away. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park with its historic lighthouse, Crandon Park Beach and the Miami Seaquarium area lie close by, and the village of Key Biscayne offers shops and restaurants within a short drive. The resort has a tropical Atlantic-coast setting, with palm-lined grounds, direct access to a wide stretch of sand and a quieter, more residential atmosphere than South Beach. Rooms are Ocean-view Rooms and Suites, with balconies, generous bathrooms and a calm, upscale decor. Several outdoor pools, a long beachfront with loungers and water-sport options give guests plenty of ways to spend the day, and tennis courts support active stays. The spa offers massages, facials and body treatments, and a fitness centre complements the outdoor facilities. Several restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with seafood and Florida-influenced menus, and valet parking is provided. Service reflects the Ritz-Carlton standard, with attentive concierge support, children's activities in season and staff able to arrange boat trips, tennis lessons and transport. The resort is popular with families, couples and visitors seeking a beach holiday close to Miami's urban attractions. Rates generally range from about $500 to $1,200 USD per night before taxes and fees, with peak prices in winter, around holidays and for higher-floor ocean-view rooms. Visitors who prefer to explore Miami extensively should plan for car or rideshare use, as the island is separated from the mainland by the causeway.
