Experience Blue Flamingo Resort Key West – The Affordable Tiki-Inspired Social Club
Opening July 2025, Blue Flamingo Resort Key West stitches two classic motor lodges into 245 freshly renovated rooms wrapped in rattan, neon, and locally commissioned art. A Miami-born design by Studio 384 keeps the mid-century soul while turning the courtyard into The Backyard Pool & Social Club—25,000 sq ft of twin pools, firepits, lawn games, and an Airstream karaoke lounge that lights up the night.
Guests wake to sunrise yoga on the waterfront deck overlooking Cow Key Channel, hop an hourly shuttle to Old Town, or zip off on on-site bike, scooter, and jet-ski rentals. By dusk, Rum Row pours shareable Blue Flamingo Bowl cocktails and live-music happy hours segue into nightly karaoke under the stars.
Room choices span 300-sq-ft Deluxe Kings for couples, balcony Pool-View Kings for sunseekers, sweeping Ocean-View Doubles for families, and 1-Bedroom Suites with wet bars for groups—all paired with pillow-top beds and walk-in showers. Preview rates start at $159 mid-week, and the Grand-Opening Offer—25 % off plus a $25 dining credit and bubbly on arrival (book by Oct 31) sweetens the deal. Meeting planners score an average 16.6 % group discount, with ballroom and lawn space for 180 guests.
Highgate Hotels’ ESG roadmap is front-and-center: reef-safe sunscreen stations, solar-assisted water heating, and aggressive single-use-plastic reduction earn Eco-Certified status. Early soft-opening reviews applaud the staff’s enthusiasm and spotless rooms; elevator tweaks and extended shuttle hours roll out before launch.
Blue Flamingo positions itself as the most affordable social-club resort in New Town, undercutting nearby Parrot Key and Margaritaville while serving up a play-all-day atmosphere perfect for bachelor/ette escapes, friendcations, and value-minded travelers chasing Key West’s “island weird” without Duval Street sticker shock.
