BeachBooker Beach VillasCheeca Lodge & Spa, a 27-acre property at mile marker (MM) 82 oceanside in Islamorada, is set to reopen Dec. 15, 2009, showcasing its classic Florida Keys architecture, chic West Indies décor and tradition of “barefoot elegance.”

The property has been closed to the public since Jan. 1, 2009, after a New Year’s Eve fire heavily damaged its main lodge. Recently, a “topping off” celebration marked the highlight of an intensive 90-day major construction project that featured 62 concrete, pre-greened modular suites trucked to the Florida Keys and hoisted in place with cranes.

The 840-square-foot-suites were delivered with fully-equipped bathrooms — including marble tile floors, granite counter tops, bath fixtures and marble and glass rain showers — and all electrical wiring and cabling already installed throughout each suite.

The modules are highly insulated, environmentally sustainable, energy efficient and can withstand a category 5 hurricane.

The units are fabricated from 30 percent recycled materials.
