Forbes Magazine's just-released list of the 12 top travel destinations for 2025 includes Longboat Key.
Longboat Key is sharing the honor with such prestigious global destinations as Monaco, Amsterdam, and the Athenian Riviera. Reasons for its inclusion in this lofty list include 12 miles of white-sand beaches, the pristine turquoise water of the Gulf, and exceptional accommodations and residential opportunities. The opening of The St. Regis resort on Longboat Key was cited specifically, adding to the already-luxurious nature of the island with impeccable amenities that include a 20,000 square foot spa, elevated dining options, and a spectacular lagoon that showcases local marine life.
