The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne: A Grand Reopening

It's a new year, and at Cliff Drysdale Tennis, we are excited to kick off 2026 with the grand reopening of The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne. Located just minutes from downtown Miami, the resort has undergone a transformative $100 million renovation, marking its first major redevelopment since opening in 2001. The result is a thoughtfully refreshed beachfront destination that blends timeless elegance with modern coastal sophistication, while continuing to stand out as one of South Florida’s premier locations for tennis and padel enthusiasts.

This reopening also signals the return of Experience Travel events in 2026, including Padel Getaways, Ladies Retreats, and Custom Camps. These experiences once again combine top-tier instruction, immersive on-court play, and a luxury resort experience, making The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne a true destination for racquet sports travel. 

Guests are now welcomed into a redesigned lobby framed by uninterrupted ocean views, setting the tone for a vacation that feels both serene and refined. Throughout the resort, interior spaces including guest rooms and suites have been refreshed with custom furnishings, natural textures, and coastal-inspired finishes that reflect the surrounding sea and sand.

Culinary offerings have expanded to include six distinct dining venues, ranging from Mediterranean-inspired Luma to the open-air Aegean flavors of Paralía, along with casual favorites such as Dune Beach Bar, Stefano’s, Rum Bar, and gelato at Scoop. Wellness is anchored by the new 30,000-square-foot Ritz-Carlton Spa, featuring treatment rooms, private cabanas, and sensory gardens, complemented by an updated oceanfront fitness center and daily wellness programming.

As the resort enters this exciting new chapter, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne once again stands out as an ideal destination for tennis and padel players seeking to pair exceptional racquet sports experiences with five-star accommodations. Whether visiting for clinics or a racquet-focused getaway, guests can expect an environment that supports both performance and relaxation at the highest level.
