Discover Ombi: A Floating Micro-Resort in the Florida Keys

A new floating micro-resort is making a splash in the vibrant waters of the Florida Keys. Ombi consists of three unique bungalows anchored off the coast of Key Largo, offering an idyllic retreat for those looking to escape into nature.

Access to Ombi is exclusively by boat, enhancing the sense of adventure. Guests are transported from Key Largo to their selected bungalow, each featuring modern amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, a welcome basket filled with wine and chocolates, as well as equipment for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The bungalows are designed with natural wood interiors, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in showers, and porches that allow direct access to the ocean below.

Guests can unwind in their king-size bed while listening to the gentle sound of the waves or relax in a hammock that offers stunning views of the water. With a bit of luck, they might enjoy their welcome treats while spotting playful bottlenose dolphins during sunset.

Not only dolphins frequent the waters around Ombi; visitors can also encounter a variety of marine life including parrotfish, snapper, and eagle rays, as well as West Indian manatees and green turtles. This rich biodiversity prompted Ombi’s founder, Tim Jensen, to use environmentally conscious materials and practices in building each bungalow, ensuring minimal impact on the delicate ecosystem surrounding the resort.

Pricing for a stay at Ombi begins at $850 per night for guests who prefer to manage their own meals. However, for those seeking a more luxurious experience, the Premium Bungalow Retreat starts at $1,150 per night and includes a fully stocked refrigerator with non-alcoholic drinks and local liquors, complemented by an upgraded welcome basket containing Champagne and a gourmet dinner for two delivered directly to the bungalow.

For the ultimate indulgence, the Luxury Bungalow Retreat is available from $1,450 per night. This package encompasses all the benefits of the Premium option plus a breakfast delivery for two, complimentary cleaning services, and VIP boat transfers that offer drinks to enjoy on the way.

As your stay comes to a close, be sure to arrange your boat transfer timely to avoid overstaying in this serene paradise, even if the charm of the Florida Keys makes it all too tempting to linger longer than planned.
