This fourteen night Florida escape moves from the energy of Orlando’s theme parks to the easy pace of the Gulf Coast. Spend your first week in a spacious villa near Walt Disney World, with room to relax, cook and reset between park days. The second half of the trip slows everything down on Anna Maria Island, where a beachside villa, wide sands and calm Gulf waters shape days that are unplanned and easy, ending with relaxed evenings by the water.
Travelling solo gives you a kind of freedom that is difficult to match. You decide the rhythm of your day, move towards whatever catches your curiosity and enjoy the rare chance to explore without compromise. It builds confidence in a natural way, whether you are navigating a new neighbourhood, finding a quiet spot for breakfast or choosing your next adventure on the go. Solo travel also opens the door to genuine connection. You meet people when it feels right, enjoy company when you want it and embrace quiet moments when you need them. More than anything, travelling solo lets you experience places with a clarity and independence that is entirely your own.
