At this point in the Miami summer, I send up the white flag and stop fighting the elements. It’s all about a ponytail, SPF, a swimsuit, and floaty dress–and a weekend getaway that makes me glad that it’s 98 degrees out.
Case in point: I just got back from Tranquility Bay in Marathon Key–the most adorable, lavishly landscaped hotel, which sits right on the beach. Ralph Lauren would love it. You can walk to a boat to go snorkeling on the reef or head off Jet Skiing–or, if you’re too lazy for that, simply loll in the shade by the pool with the occasional small iguana or get a lovely spa treatment in your room. It’s off-season in the Keys (read: lower hotel rates), and Marathon is only a two-hour drive from Miami. And the iguanas are shy, not-at-all-dangerous peaceniks. (On cold winter days, the hotel staff actually go around and cover them up with blankets.)
