No sauna, steam room or spa lounge: Southernmost wins on beach, pools and price.
The Spa at Southernmost has rooms and a cabana only: standard menu, no sauna, steam room or lounge. 1319 Duval Street is the draw, oceanfront on Key West's Atlantic side. An 18% gratuity tops every treatment. Hours are not published. Entry starts at 18. No day pass is published, though guests describe a $50 one. Right for guests who want an oceanfront Key West base with included beach yoga and an occasional massage; wrong for anyone after a sauna, steam room or spa lounge.

- 27 Feb 2027 from $728 room, $892 all-in. That is the typical rate across the major booking sites for Saturday 27 February 2027, checked 6 October 2026. Room comes before the resort fee and tax. All-in adds both, and the hotel prints tax only as plus tax.

- Rate notes
Fee stack: $65 a night resort amenities fee plus tax, spa not included; parking $50 a night plus tax, one vehicle per room, not in the all-in; 18% gratuity added to every treatment; the web menu sells 25, 50 and 80 minutes and no 60-minute massage; the $165 50-minute Swedish or Deep Tissue works out to $198 per 60, our arithmetic, not a menu price.
Rates correct as of October 2026; verify current availability via the booking links above.
No dated renovation or repositioning is published on the hotel's pages.
Spa Treatments
The Spa at Southernmost sells a standard menu of massage, Phytomer facials and one back treatment, with no signature massage. Swedish and Deep Tissue run $165 for 50 minutes, and the same Swedish massage in the oceanfront cabana is $215. Its own Signature is the Phytomer Signature Facial, at $170. That sits fourteenth of the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed, against a 7.25 median for the other fourteen. Guests who describe a treatment are uniformly positive.
Spa Facilities
Beyond its treatment rooms, The Spa at Southernmost names no sauna, steam room, hydrotherapy or relaxation lounge. Also unpublished are the treatment-room count, square footage, lockers and changing rooms. Three guests report that the property has no hot tub. That puts the spa level with Casa Marina on the same 3.8, tenth of the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed. Three pools on the property are resort pools, not spa hardware.
Wellness Programs
Southernmost's resort fee covers beach yoga, aqua yoga, a fitness center and three pools. Two beaches and daily activities from wine tastings to butterfly tours also sit inside the fee. Its fitness center runs treadmills, a Smith machine and free weights, with personal training offered, and the three pools include an adults-only one. That package sits ninth of the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed, level with Baker's Cay, against a 6.4 median for the other fourteen. No weekly class count appears on the pages.
Staff & Service
Staff at Southernmost draw far more praise than complaint, though room assignment and upsell problems recur in guest reviews. Across 1,084 reviews, 444 praise the staff and 142 complain. 54 guests describe the sore spot (room assignments, upsells or off-site placement at check-in), with 16 of those in the latest six months. Management answers nearly every TripAdvisor and Google review. That mix of warm service and one check-in issue sits seventh of the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed, level with Baker's Cay.
Experience
Guests rate stays at Southernmost below most Keys hotels we have reviewed, citing seaweed, pool maintenance and elevator outages. TripAdvisor shows 4.4 across 10,425 reviews and Google 4.1 across 4,172. That sits thirteenth of the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed, against a 6.8 median for the other fourteen. Recent months run colder than the two-year trend, so read the latest reviews before booking.
Value for Money
Southernmost prices peak nights below most Keys hotels we have reviewed, but the resort fee, parking and spa gratuity add up. The typical rate across the major booking sites for Saturday 27 February 2027, checked 6 October 2026, is $892 all-in, fifth lowest of fifteen against a $1,105 median for the other fourteen. On top sit a $65 nightly fee (Keys median $60), $50 parking and an 18% treatment gratuity. At $165 for 50 minutes, the massage is $198 per 60, our arithmetic, not a menu price.

About This Hotel
The Spa at Southernmost is treatment rooms and a three-sided oceanfront cabana at 1319 Duval Street, with no sauna, steam room or lounge on its pages. Book Southernmost for the beach-and-pool Key West stay, and treat the spa as an occasional extra rather than the point of the trip.
The Spa, Specifically: The Spa at Southernmost
The Spa at Southernmost prices a 50-minute Swedish or Deep Tissue massage at $165, yet publishes no hours, room count, square footage, sauna, steam room, hydrotherapy or relaxation lounge. Across a published menu of massage, facials and body work, Swedish and Deep Tissue run $95 for 25 minutes and $225 for 80. Facials start at $100 for the 25-minute Southernmost Express Facial, while the Phytomer facials with French Thalassotherapy run $170 to $220 (our guide to spa facials explains the line). A Back Treatment runs $115 for 25. Every treatment carries an 18% gratuity, which goes to your therapist. One genuinely Key West touch is the oceanfront cabana, where the same Swedish massage runs $215 for 50 minutes in a three-sided cabana with aromatherapy and sparkling wine — a $50 premium over the spa room. No 60-minute massage appears on the menu, so our massage guide helps make sense of the 25-, 50- and 80-minute lengths. No thermal circuit appears on these pages (how a circuit works), and the spa stops at the treatment door.
Who’s Right, Who’s Wrong
Right for couples and friends who want an oceanfront Key West base with included beach yoga, three pools and an occasional massage, and who do not need a sauna or steam room. Wrong for anyone booking a spa hotel for wet facilities, a spa lounge or a spa-led trip. Peak nights run under most Keys hotels we have reviewed, but the resort fee, $50 parking and an 18% spa gratuity sit on top.
Where It Sits in the Florida Keys Market
Among the fifteen Keys hotels we have reviewed, Southernmost sits eleventh overall, level with Baker’s Cay and Tranquility Bay, with Value tied fourth, level with Cheeca Lodge, Hawks Cay, Isla Bella and Tranquility Bay, and the lowest off-season price of the fifteen. Four category scores pull it down: Treatments fourteenth of fifteen, Experience thirteenth, Wellness ninth, level with Baker’s Cay, and Facilities tenth, level with Casa Marina, because the hotel publishes no wet facilities. Playa Largo and Ocean Key lead on treatments. Little Palm Island leads the stay. In short, the beach, pools and price outperform the spa.

I had a 80 minute tropical massage at the spa and it was terrific! The staff and massage therapist did a great job making me feel relaxed and celebrated my birthday too! Also, there is beach yoga which is fun!
TripAdvisorDecember 2024Stay rated 5 of 5There are 3 pools on the property with 1 being a quiet vibe and spa is also on site. Spa was great and well worth the money
GoogleMay 2025Stay rated 5 of 5The staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and they really made us feel taken care of throughout our stay.
GoogleSeptember 2026Stay rated 5 of 5The smell coming from the massive buildup of decaying seaweed on the beach was almost unbearable.
TripAdvisorSeptember 2026Stay rated 2 of 5This place is great if you’re looking for a nice commercial feeling hotel on duval street, but if you’re looking for a resort expect to pay extra for the resort things like the spa, breakfast, and drinks.
GoogleJune 2025Stay rated 4 of 5If I would have just paid for the room and had this as my hotel room I probably would have been fine with it but the extra hidden fees you don’t find out about until you’re on site really didn’t sit well with me.
