Cool kitchens at Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club

Boat and beach lovers throng to this resort on Lago Mar Beach, which also backs up onto a network of Fort Lauderdale’s marinas. It’s tucked away from other shoreline resorts, hidden in the Harbor Beach neighborhood, and 500ft (150m) of the beachfront is private, so tanning time equals quality time. Suites – all 200-plus – are a mix of Mediterranean and Key West in their decor, pairing custom wood-and-rattan headboards with carved pineapple-topped chairs and kitchens loaded with microwave ovens, sub-zero fridges and freezers, as well as double-burner stovetops.
