Our villas in Florida are all within resorts across Orlando, allowing you to enjoy the laid-back, chilled lifestyle that the state is well-known for. Coming with plenty of amenities and on-site activities, plus the privacy of your own place, the whole family is catered for. Plus, they’re all located just a short distance from Walt Disney World Resort.

Some of the activities and facilities in the resorts:

You’ll never be stuck for things to do in Florida. While the theme parks are some of the best in the world, that's not all the Sunshine State has to offer. From sensational beaches and breathtaking state parks to a glimpse into mankind's journey into space, a villa holiday in Florida has something for all the family.

Top activities in Florida

• Voted the number one beach in America by TripAdvisor, Clearwater boasts soft white sands and clear shallow waters that make it perfect for a relaxing afternoon of sunbathing and splashing around with little ones. However, if they start getting restless, head to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium: it's home to Winter the Dolphin, whose prosthetic tail made him the star of the Dolphin Tale movie.

• One for the stargazers of the group, Kennedy Space Centre is sure to amaze aspiring astronauts of all ages. Get involved in the simulators for a realistic space experience, have a feel of genuine moonrocks, watch a shuttle launch or speak to one of the veteran NASA astronauts.

• With over 100 exhibits, WonderWorks makes for a very special day out. This topsy-turvy building sits upside down, with the ceiling under your feet. Once you've explored all the exhibits, head down to the basement for a family Laser-Tag battle!

• If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of central Florida, head down south to Fury Water Adventures and explore nature’s own water park at the beautiful Key West. From snorkelling and Jet Ski tours to dolphin watching and parasailing, there's something for everyone. And if you're not into water-sports, how about a romantic sunset cruise to end the day on a high?

• If you're looking for an adventure that doesn't involved theme parks, the caves at Florida Caverns State Park are sure to wow. Take a tour through the underground rooms, go for a hike, or even camp over night. If you plan your trip on a hot summer's day, you can even take a dip in magnificent Blue Hole Spring.

No matter your age, a trip to Orlando will always be one you'll remember forever. The city is known around the world for its field-defining theme parks, exciting attractions and immersive lands, making it the perfect place to visit as a family.

The area boasts over a dozen theme parks, keeping kids entertained throughout the entire day and even into the night. If rollercoasters are your priority, don't miss Universal Orlando's Rip Ride Rockit or Incredible Hulk Coaster. Fancy yourself a future Jedi? Disney's Hollywood Studios will be your favourite with its Star Wars-themed Galaxy's Edge expansion.

Fly into Orlando International Airport, which has direct flights from most UK airports and airlines, and is only 6 miles from the centre.

Car rental or taxi

Because there’s so much to do in Orlando, particularly if you’re visiting the theme parks, we recommend hiring a car. Our concierge team can help you organise this.

This means that you’re not restricted to the areas immediately surrounding your resort, and you can easily travel to the parks or nearby beaches. This will also help you get from the airport to your resort easily.

If you’re visiting the theme parks, you’re able to park in one of the designated car parks.

Note that once you’ve paid to park in one of the car parks, you don’t need to pay in any of the other car parks – although it’s recommended to use the in-park transportation instead of hopping in and out of your cars (this will also save a lot of time.) The parks have a variety of options to get from park to park, including buses, water taxis, ferries and a monorail service.

Buses

Public LYNX buses run from Orlando International to various areas of Orlando, Florida – Downtown, Florida Mall, and International Drive. However, you won’t find public buses from Orlando Sanford.
