Hawks Cay Resort

Surrounded by Sea in the Heart of the Florida Keys

Encircled by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, Hawks Cay Resort offers a rare blend of tropical seclusion and sophisticated hospitality in the heart of the Florida Keys. Set on 60 lush acres of Duck Key, this luxury resort is a premier destination for meetings, incentive travel, and unforgettable group experiences—without the need for a passport.

Boasting 35,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, Hawks Cay features one of the largest conference centers in the Florida Keys. The resort’s flexible venues include the Dolphin Ballroom (5,733 sq ft) and Overseas Ballroom (5,544 sq ft), both divisible into smaller spaces and bathed in natural light. The Reef Boardroom offers an intimate setting for executive sessions, while the Dolphin Foyer and Deck provide scenic spaces for cocktail receptions overlooking the resort’s resident bottlenose dolphins.

Beyond the boardroom, Hawks Cay elevates group experiences with signature team-building activities—from offshore fishing charters and sunset cruises to dockside dolphin encounters and “Hook & Cook” culinary events. Attendees can unwind with yoga by the water, paddleboard through mangroves, or enjoy a gourmet lunch while watching dolphins perform acrobatics just steps away.

Culinary Excellence with Island Flair Dining at Hawks Cay is a celebration of coastal flavors and culinary craftsmanship. The resort’s newest restaurant, Salt + Ash, is helmed by Michelin-starred and Top Chef winner Jeremy Ford, offering bold, wood-fired dishes in a refined farm-to-table setting. Ingredients are sourced from Ford’s own farm in Homestead, ensuring a truly local and elevated experience—from lavender-smoked oysters to coconut tuna ceviche and charred maitake pizza. Other standout venues include: Angler & Ale – A waterfront favorite where guests can enjoy fresh seafood or have their own catch prepared by expert chefs. Pilar Bar – A toes-in-the-sand lunch spot perfect for casual gatherings. Oasis Cay and Tiki Grill – Poolside bars serving tropical cocktails and light fare. Hawks Cay Café – A lobby café offering grab-and-go options, boxed lunches, and gourmet breakfast selections. 

Custom catering menus are available for meetings and events, featuring elegant plated dinners, themed buffets, and interactive culinary stations designed to impress.
