Extend Your 2026 Miami Soccer Trip to our Key West Beach Resort
You’ve built your summer around one thing: being in the stands for a major international soccer match (football, if you prefer) and feeling that stadium energy for yourself. Miami is where the whistle blows. Key West is where the trip slows down, and your island escape begins.
The smartest itineraries this summer aren’t built around one city. They’re built around the escape.

Getting Here
The most iconic way to arrive is the one worth taking. Rent a car, roll down the windows, and take the drive from Miami to Key West – 160 miles, 42 bridges, and one legendary Seven Mile Bridge, surrounded by open water in every direction.
The Beach as Your Backyard
Located in Old Town where the world-famous Duval Street meets the Atlantic, Southernmost Beach Resort sits on six acres with three pools, two beaches, four bars, a full-service spa, and the Southernmost Beach Café right on the water. Near all the action but in a world of its own.
And then there are the Guesthouses. La Mer, Dewey House, Avalon, and Duval Gardens. Four lovingly restored historic properties where Victorian charm meets island life, and breakfast is always included.
Don’t worry about finding things to do. From floatie races and salsa dancing to cocktail making sessions and live music, our daily Somo Activations mean there’s always something happening. Do everything, or nothing at all.
More to Celebrate in Key West
While the match-day action happens in Miami, the rest of your summer story is waiting here in Key West. If the timing is right, you might arrive just in time for one of the island’s most legendary festivals and celebrations.
- July 1–5: The Key Lime Festival — America’s Favorite Citrus Celebration, happening right in the middle of the summer match window. From cocktail strolls to the World Famous Key Lime Pie Eating Championship held right here at Southernmost Beach Café on July 4th, it’s quirky, it’s fun, and it’s a true island celebration.
- July 22–26: Hemingway Days —A celebration of Ernest Hemingway’s legacy featuring the famous look-alike contests, the “Running of the Bulls,” a high-stakes fishing tournament, and so much more.
