Overview: airports that travelers use for Cheeca Lodge & Spa
Major commercial airports commonly used are Miami International Airport (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL). Florida Keys Marathon International Airport (MTH) and Key West International Airport (EYW) are other options but have limited or seasonal commercial service.
Cheeca Lodge & Spa is located at 81801 Overseas Highway, Mile Marker 82, Islamorada, Florida. The resort does not operate a scheduled airport shuttle, so travelers typically combine a ground transfer with local arrival arrangements.
- Miami International Airport (MIA): the largest commercial gateway serving the region.
- Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood Int’l (FLL): an alternate large-airport option.
- Florida Keys Marathon (MTH): closest by distance but limited service.
- Key West Int’l (EYW): an option mainly for those connecting via Key West.
| Airport | Typical transfer style |
|---|---|
| MIA (Miami International) | Ground transfer (rental car / private car / taxi / ride‑hail) |
| FLL (Fort Lauderdale) | Ground transfer (similar options as MIA) |
| MTH (Marathon) / EYW (Key West) | Regional flights + ground transfer; limited schedules |
Getting there from Miami International Airport (MIA)
From MIA, most guests arrange a ground transfer to Islamorada along US‑1 (Overseas Highway). Common choices are rental cars, taxis, ride‑hail apps, or private car services booked in advance.
Cheeca does not offer a scheduled airport shuttle; if you prefer not to manage your own transfer, BookResorts agents can help arrange private transfers or recommend local companies.
- Self-drive (rental car) — gives flexibility to stop along US‑1 and follow the Mile Marker system.
- Private car service or taxi — book in advance for direct door-to-door ground transfer.
- Ride‑hail (Uber/Lyft) — available but can be variable for long-distance Keys trips.
| Option | When to choose it |
|---|---|
| Rental car | If you want flexibility and local sightseeing on the way |
| Private car / taxi | If you prefer a pre-booked, door-to-door transfer |
| Ride‑hail | If you want a pay-as-you-go option and availability is good |
Options from Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Marathon (MTH) and Key West (EYW)
FLL is an alternate major-airport option; ground transfer choices are the same as from MIA (rental car, private car, taxi, ride‑hail). Marathon (MTH) and Key West (EYW) can be used when flight schedules match, but commercial service is more limited at those airports.
If you arrive at MTH or EYW you will still complete a ground transfer to Islamorada; guests sometimes combine scheduled regional flights with private ground services for the last leg.
- FLL: good alternative when Miami schedules or fares don’t work.
- MTH: closest regional airport by distance but limited commercial options.
- EYW: useful when flying into Key West, then continuing north by ground transfer.
| Airport | Notes |
|---|---|
| FLL | Common alternate for commercial flights; similar ground options as MIA |
| MTH | Limited service; useful if flight schedules align |
| EYW | Key West arrivals require a northbound ground transfer to Islamorada |
Private transfers, taxis and car services — what to arrange
Because Cheeca does not run a scheduled airport shuttle, many guests book private transfers or car services in advance to guarantee timely pickup after long flights. Private services can usually meet you at the airport curb and take you to the resort by ground transfer.
If you prefer not to drive, reserve a taxi or pre-book a private car for a fixed fare. Confirm luggage limits and any extra charges before booking, and consider contacting BookResorts agents at +1 (888) 605-1350 for assistance.
- Pre-book private car service for reliability and a set pickup time.
- Taxis are available at major airports but verify long-distance fare estimates ahead of time.
- Some vendors offer combined ground+boat transfers for guests — ask the resort or BookResorts for recommendations.
| Transfer type | Good for |
|---|---|
| Private car service | Stress-free, pre-arranged pickup after flight |
| Taxi | Walk-up convenience but check fare for longer Keys trips |
| Ride‑hail | Flexible, but availability for long trips can vary |
