A pillar of the Islamorada community since 1946, Cheeca Lodge & Spa is celebrating our 70 year anniversary this year. In honor of this milestone, take a journey through our rich history in this feature article from our friends at Islamorada Times.

Pre-Cheeca:

The beginning of the Cheeca Lodge as we know it today occurred back in 1946 when the first hotel and restaurant opened for business on the property. However, the history and events of our historic property dates back to the late 1800's when the first homesteaders, also known as the Conchs, settled in Islamorada. The Conchs would construct the first buildings on the beach where Cheeca stands today, a church and school. These religious people who prospered by farming limes and pineapples also built the Pioneer Cemetery that still stands today on the property and is one of Islamorada's historical landmarks. Members of these pioneers' families, the Russells, Parkers, and Pinders are buried and memorialized at the cemetery.
