Key West, Three Ways
Whether you’re drawn to the charm of a historic inn, the frills of a beachfront resort, or the seclusion of a private rental, Key West invites you to experience the island in your own way

Key West is known more for its relaxed attitude than its focus on bespoke luxury, but Lunara Bay is here to change that. The waterfront enclave of 26 four-to-eight-bedroom residences, some of which have direct water views, feels more like a private gated community than a vacation rental.

The homes are grand in scale, with lots of public areas for gathering. Indoors, expect cool coastal palettes, furniture you can sink into, and entertainment-ready kitchens. Sliding glass doors open to an outdoor dining patio overlooking a fenced area with a swimming pool, summer kitchen, grill, fire pit, and lots of seating to accommodate a crowd. Indeed, the best way to experience Lunara Bay is with friends and family, so bring your entire crew.
Guest Experience Managers (GEMs) are on hand to stock the fridge and plan fishing trips or
sunset sails. Come dinnertime, they can make restaurant reservations (yes, even the tough ones) or hire a private chef to whip up some fresh Florida lobster or whatever your heart desires. The idea is to make everything seamless so you can sit back and chill out—maybe with the archetypal margarita in hand. —Daphne Nikolopoulos
