Celebrate New Beginnings: The Marker Key West Is the Ultimate Empty Nester Escape
The kids are launched; the calendar is yours. Empty nesters took nearly four trips on average last year—and their next destination deserves to be unforgettable. And we have just the place! The Marker Key West Harbor Resort is a modern waterfront property that offers a hidden sanctuary of lush tropical grounds, just steps from bustling Duval Street. As the symbolic “end of the road” for U.S. Highway 1, The Marker represents both endings and new beginnings. And for couples celebrating their first getaway as empty nesters, it is a place that captures the magic of the moment.
The Marker is filled with romantic experiences designed for couples to reconnect and relax. Share an alfresco dinner at Starboard, where you can indulge your senses with locally sourced cuisine, curated cocktails and live performances by talented local musicians. Couples can also unwind at one of the three sparkling pools tucked among palm-filled gardens or settle into a shaded daybed built for two.
Couples can retreat to one of the resort’s 96 spacious suites, each featuring a private balcony, ideal for watching the sunset or taking in harbor views. Inside, a soaking tub, walk-in rain shower, Key West Soaps amenities and signature bathrobes elevate the stay. Couples can also unwind with complimentary yoga at the adults-only serenity pool or at the fitness center equipped with state-of-the-art machines.
When you’re ready to explore, borrow The Marker’s on-property bicycles and roll into Old Town for a hands-on art class with local collective Painting the Keys or a custom, handcrafted fragrance session at Tijon. Then, tour the Hemingway-inspired Papa’s Pilar Rum Distillery and enjoy a guided tasting.
At neighboring A&B Marina, The Marker partners with Fishmonster Charters and Capt. Marlin Scott for everything from offshore sportfishing to light tackle. Couples can book seats on weekly split charters or go all in with a Dry Tortugas overnight excursion. The concierge handles all things gear, bait and tackle, and when you return, Starboard’s culinary team will prepare your catch of the day.
