Accessible only by boat or seaplane, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa is one of the most exclusive and romantic wedding destinations in the entire United States. This private five-acre island in the Florida Keys Lower Keys offers just 30 thatched-roof bungalows, a world-class spa, and ceremony spaces on pristine sandy shores surrounded by turquoise Atlantic waters on every side. With its strict guest limit and extraordinary natural setting, every wedding here is an intimate, bespoke affair that genuinely transports couples and guests to another world. For those who want the ultimate escape, there is simply nowhere else like it.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from BAHIA HONDA SP, 5.3 miles away.
