The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami – the Atlantic Ocean coastline escape just minutes from the vibrant energy of Miami – will reopen its doors on December 8, 2025, unveiling a $100 million transformation that ushers in a new era of seaside glamour, where timeless elegance meets contemporary sophistication.
Set across seventeen acres of pristine shoreline and inspired by the serenity of Key Biscayne and the pulsating rhythm of Miami, the beachfront enclave captures the island’s seamless connection to the sea through open-air design and modern architecture, including floor-to-ceiling windows that frame uninterrupted Atlantic views, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. An elevated, island-inspired palette of sun-washed sand tones and natural materials such as limestone and mangrove wood is complemented by artful finishes.
The resort’s transformation spans every corner of its oceanfront setting – from the newly envisioned spa sanctuary surrounded by outdoor gardens, relaxation lounges, and locally inspired rituals to six distinctive dining destinations that celebrate seasonal flavors. The refresh also extends to the resort’s signature leisure offerings, with expanded water sports programming and enhanced cabana and pool experiences.
Led by the global luxury hospitality developers, Gencomand acclaimed design studios Hart Howerton, DesignAgency, and Chapi Chapo Design, this milestone marks the resort’s first comprehensive renewal in nearly twenty-five years.
A Coastal Sanctuary Reborn
The resort’s renewed design invites guests on a sensory journey that begins upon arrival. The lobby has been transformed into an elegant haven – both warm and welcoming – with sculptural lighting, soft textures, and an atmosphere that feels quietly luminous. A newly installed glass façade reveals endless views of the Atlantic, where sunlight reflects off the sea, infusing the space with calm, coastal energy.
At the heart of the resort’s arrival experience, a stunning reflective fountain terrace extends from the lobby toward the gardens, greeting guests with sweeping views of the coastline and an immediate sense of calm and connection to the sea. Surrounded by lush gardens, private cabanas, and sundrenched terraces, these serene spaces capture the spirit of refined island living. From sunrise swims to golden-hour cocktails, each moment flows seamlessly with the tides, offering beauty, stillness, and connection.
The resort’s expansive 421 guest rooms and suites are sanctuaries of tranquility, where design meets contemporary elegance. Each accommodation features bespoke furnishings, soft textures, and a soothing palette inspired by sea and sand, with floor-to-ceiling windows that draw the outdoors in.
Families will delight in the new Ritz Kids Club, an imaginative indoor retreat that blends calming and playful elements through nature-inspired design and interactive activities that spark curiosity, creativity, and joy.
