MARATHON, Fla., July 18, 2018 — A new era of luxury accommodations will debut in the Florida Keys in early 2019 with the opening of Isla Bella Beach Resort. Located on Knights Key in Marathon, Florida, at the threshold of the iconic Seven Mile Bridge, Isla Bella will be the crown jewel of developer Pritam Singh & The Singh Company's hospitality portfolio, the culmination of over thirty years of real estate and hospitality development in the Florida Keys. Set on 24 acres of lush tropical landscaping, the 199-guestroom luxury resort will hold the distinction of being the first full service luxury hotel in Marathon, the single largest newly built private waterfront hotel or resort in all the keys and the first new resort built since Hurricane Irma impacted the destination in 2017."

"From its unparalleled location to its private shoreline to an intuitive and luxurious design, Isla Bella Beach Resort will be the crown jewel of The Singh Company's portfolio," says Pritam Singh, Founder of The Singh Company, the largest and most successful hotel real estate development and management company in the Florida Keys. "Over the past thirty years, I've had the privilege to help shape the hospitality landscape of the Florida Keys and am excited and honored by the opportunity to bring an experience like Isla Bella to the middle keys. As the hospitality industry continues to rapidly evolve, we strive to not just meet but exceed guest expectations and deliver authentic, destination-specific experiences that are luxurious, comfortable and most of all memorable."
