We’re all about the Florida Keys: the water is warm, the sun is bright and now there are new luxury accommodations to choose from. On Duck Key, between Key West and Key Largo, Hawks Cay Resort has opened the all-new Stargazer and Coastal Penthouse suites. Each has 1,400 square feet of indoor space, but we suspect you’ll be outside most of the time on the private 3,200-square-foot rooftop terrace (each suite has its own). The Coastal Suite’s décor is filled with natural color tones, while the Stargazer has a more modern vibe — it even has an in-room telescope.

The two suites take up the entire fifth floor, and, for top privacy, the entryway from the elevator can be locked off from other guests. Each suite sleeps four with two bedrooms, two full baths and a living area. As for the views, the Coastal Suite looks over the adults-only Tranquility pool and the Stargazer has views of Duck Key and the quiet harbor.
