Luxury travel innovators Ombi are changing the way to stay in the Florida Keys. Embodying off the grid opulence, Ombi has fused the finest features of an ocean-view hotel, prestige yacht, and intimate cabin to introduce truly unique secluded accommodation in Key Largo: floating water bungalows for two.
A one-of-a-kind escape, the Ombi bungalows offer splendid isolation atop the gentle waves of Key Largo’s Tarpon Basin. Thoughtfully designed with natural wood interiors and spectacular outside spaces, these hideaways offer complete comfort and untainted panoramic views of the endless ocean scenery. Comprising three new bungalows, Ombi is the brainchild of founder Tim Jensen’s endeavor to create luxury floating experiences. Driven by a desire to immerse visitors in breathtaking, transformative environments, Tim created Ombi to offer getaways that leave lasting impacts long after guests have returned home.
The Ombi experience begins with a private boat transfer across the Keys, steered by guests’ personal captain. Each of the bungalows is a floating oasis featuring all of the modern amenities for a luxurious yet laid back stay, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows, a plush king-size bed, inviting walk-in shower, kitchenette, air-conditioning, black out curtains and solar powered lighting. Adirondack chairs, a hammock and a foldaway table rest under the canopy for lazy afternoons of reading, cards or blissful naps listening to the sound of silence. Bluetooth connectivity, a flat-screen TV and high-speed Wi-Fi are available for those needing to connect to the outside world, otherwise a selection of board games is provided for off screen evening entertainment.
Outside the bungalow, a kayak, paddleboard, snorkel masks and fins await, allowing guests to explore the famous marine paradise right from their doorstep. Under the surface, waters are teeming with schools of tropical fish, from colourful angle and parrotfish, to larger snapper, grunts and sergeant majors. Bottlenose dolphins make a regular appearance alongside nurse sharks and eagle rays, with endangered species like loggerhead turtles, green turtles and the native West Indian manatee also nearby. Preserving these vital marine ecosystems and their inhabitants is a central focus for Ombi; the bungalows have been constructed with low-impact materials and waste-reduction systems to ensure eco-adventures in the area continue for generations to come.
After a day full of adventure (or complete relaxation), end the evening with a gourmet dinner for two, delivered by guests’ private Captain and served at the chosen hour. For those wanting the complete luxury experience, a hot breakfast and pastry selection is also on available and arrives fresh each morning. Should guests desire to prepare their own meals throughout the day, the bungalows come with a fridge and microwave too.
As one of the USA’s most desirable destinations, the Florida Keys is a year-round hot spot with mild winters and balmy summers. In the rare moments guests choose to spend away from the bungalow, the region offers charming seaside towns, stunning nature reserves, and world-class diving sites. Whether it’s a special occasion, romantic weekend, or solo retreat, there’s no better place to escape and recharge than on the floating Ombi hideaways.
