Ultra-luxury holidays in Orlando

Suppose you’d prefer to stay in a villa rather than a hotel. In that case, we recommend Bella Vida: one of Orlando’s most luxurious villa communities with a fantastic selection of three to six-bedroom homes.

That’s the best thing about the villas at Bella Vida – they’re homely properties that make you feel like it's yours. You feel welcome as soon as you arrive.

They’re decorated to a high standard and boast all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, like having an open-plan kitchen for self-catering convenience and a garage that’ll keep your rental car safe. 

The largest villas also have a private lanai and swimming pool, the perfect place to relax as a family on the quieter rest days of your luxury holidays in Orlando.

A stay at any renowned Four Seasons resort in the world promises luxury and opulence. But at Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort, you also benefit from one other big perk – being located on Disney property. 

That’s right, at this resort you’re just a short complimentary bus transfer from all four of Disney’s major theme parks, two super fun waterparks, and Disney’s shopping and restaurant district, Disney Springs.

Best of all, this close proximity comes without the hefty price tag of Disney’s deluxe accommodations – especially if you opt for the resort’s standard rooms, which, in our opinion, still offer a wonderfully elegant stay.  

We also recommend requesting a room with night-time views of the Disney fireworks. Your balcony is the perfect spot for watching the sky light up at night – making your stay even more magical.

One of the best parts about staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the plethora of unique dining options. It’s undoubtedly a great resort for foodies seeking outstanding restaurants and exquisite food for their luxury Orlando holidays.

There’s the waterfront pavilion known as Narcoossee's which serves a fantastic selection of steak and seafood. Plus, with gorgeous panoramic views of the local lakes, a Surf and Turf has never tasted as good as it does here. 

Fans of the Disney classic Mary Poppins simply can’t miss Cítricos: a newly-reimagined restaurant inspired by the beloved British nanny herself. You’ll dine on all sorts of Mediterranean-influenced delights such as the House Made Rigatoni or the Butter-poached Mahi Mahi.

Perhaps best of all is Victoria & Albert’s: a rare AAA Five Diamond Award-winning restaurant with an upscale set-dinner experience that might set you back a few dollars, but it’s oh so worth it, especially for special occasions.

If you prefer Universal over Disney, we recommend staying at the iconic Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando. It’s a resort that’ll give you an extravagant and immersive pop-culture experience like no other, plus you’re treated like an absolute rockstar from the moment you walk in. 

Families will especially love staying here for their luxury Orlando holidays. Kids will spend hours in the 12,000-square-foot pool complete with a 260-foot waterslide and an underwater sound system.

Whilst the little ones are splashing about in the pool, you adults can enjoy sipping on a cocktail whilst lounging in a rented cabana – or even a relaxing trip to the spa right next door at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando Resort.

And when it’s time for the whole family to spend quality time together, you’ll benefit from all sorts of theme park VIP perks, including free admission and unlimited skip-the-queue passes. 

Luxury holidays in Orlando don’t need to be in a hotel. Crystal Cove has some of the best villas in the whole of Orlando. 

With a selection of four to six-bedroom villas, rest assured there’s the right size and type for your unique party – whether you’re a family or a large group of friends. With their modern interiors and spacious bedrooms, you’ll feel right at home.

All villas are also pet-friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friend along for the holiday, too. There’s even a designated dog park for when it’s time for walkies!

Perhaps the most special part of staying at Crystal Cove is the fact you’re part of a wholesome gated community.

On top of feeling safe with the round-the-clock security, guests also have access to the onsite communal facilities, including a swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a kids’ adventure playground.
