Cheeca Lodge Promo Code May 2025 - 40% OFF

Cheeca Lodge's long-standing buildings date back to the late 1800s, when the first home-grown farmers (also known as conchiglia) settled in Islamorada. Conch will build the first buildings of the church and school on the beach where today Cheeca Lodge stands. These religious people who prospered with lime and pineapple also built the Pioneer Cemetery, which is still located here, which is one of Islamorada's historical monuments. Members of these pioneer families, Russells, Parkers and Pinders, were buried in the cemetery and commemorated. The turn of the century brought further developments in Islamorada and the Florida Keys. In 1900, Henry Flagler built an overseas railway linking Miami to Key West, allowing unprecedented access to the Florida Keys from the mainland and for commerce, travel and settlement offers an opportunity.
