Luxury Resorts: Key Largo's exclusive Ocean Reef Club recently completed a major upgrade of its guestrooms. While it is a private club, and has been so since the mid-1940s, the ORC welcomes non-member visitors and vacationers to drop in and stay a spell while taking in club-sponsored special events. There are Orvis' fly-fishing schools and various themed festivities held annually.
The Ocean Reef Club is located at the northernmost tip of Key Largo, Fla., secluded on 2,500 acres. This is a pedigreed affluent community within a well-to-do area. There is an oceanfront hotel that includes a 175-slip marina, two 18-hole championship golf courses, a full-service spa and salon, tennis courts, jogging and biking trails, numerous dining options, and numerous activities for kids. Additional onsite entertainment includes a cooking school along with art, nature, and cultural centers. There also is more than 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting space.
The hotel has 144 guestrooms and suites with oceanfront views as well as numerous two-story-townhouse layouts with private pools and private docks. The community is complete with a fully staffed medical center, a gourmet grocery store, veterinary care, and an independent K-to-8 grade school. There also is a lit 4,456-foot runway on the grounds.
Ocean Reef Club is an extraordinary luxury lifestyle community of otherworldly dimensions.
