Little Palm Island, an adults-only, luxury resort on a private island in the Florida Keys, is offered buyout packages for travelers in need of an isolated getaway.
Little Palm Island initially opened on March 1 after three years of renovations, only to pause operations some three weeks later when the Florida Keys closed to visitors. The Keys reopened to non-residents on June 1.
The resort can only be accessed by yacht transfer or seaplane and has no phones or TVs in hotel rooms.
Bungalow rates start at $1,590 per night, and island buyouts start at three days for $250,000, a representative told Business Insider.
Take a look inside the newly renovated Little Palm Island, which has 30 beachfront bungalow suites, a spa, and a fleet of small boats for guest use.

Because Little Palm Island is located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, home to the world's third-largest barrier reef, the resort offers a wide range of water excursions and tours. Paddleboards, kayaks, Hobie Cat sailboats, and Boston Whalers are available for guests to use at their leisure.
