Villas offer all the space and flexibility that families – especially large family groups including grandparents – need. Florida is one of the best destinations in the world for spacious, beautifully equipped villas, many with their own pools - perfect for cooling off together after all that theme park excitement.
Florida offers fun and natural wonders in spades. Orlando and its world-leading theme parks tend to grab the headlines, with new attractions and events year after year, but there are also dreamy beaches to discover and fantastic wildlife encounters to be had, all within easy reach of the city.
The villas at ChampionsGate
ChampionsGate is a luxury retreat just minutes from Orlando’s top attractions, and if you stay at its Orlando Villas, you can enjoy all of the amenities and facilities of the spectacular four-diamond Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate. These include a vast European-style spa and two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses. Villas have two or three bedrooms, with the largest sleeping up to 12.
There are several resort pools to take advantage of, some with private cabanas you can hire and one with mini slides. You can also enjoy the wave pool and the lazy river, and unless you really have your heart set on using your own (well-equipped) kitchen, you can let other people do the work by treating yourselves in one of the seven restaurants and lounges, or by indulging in 24-hour room service.
Luxury home rentals at Windsor Hills Resort
This hugely popular gated resort is less than 20 minutes by car or bus from Walt Disney World – in fact, it’s the closest accommodation of its kind to the major theme parks. This makes it perfect for a full-on day at the parks followed by some well-earned R&R in the comfort of your tranquil home from home.
Its standalone properties – situated in The Enclave area of the resort north of the main pool and clubhouse – range in size from four to six bedrooms, making them brilliant with grandparents who’ve come along to join in all the fun. All have private pools (fitted with a high mesh cage to allow sunlight in but help keep leaves and bugs out of the water) and even a spa area.
Reunion Resort and Golf Club
Three signature golf courses, ten pools, a five-acre water park, six restaurants and bars, tennis courts, and shuttles to Walt Disney World make his upscale resort with its traditional Floridian charm a top choice for those wanting to make the very most of their time in Orlando.
Villas – which are spread across six different communities within the resort – include one to three bedrooms, spacious living rooms, dining rooms, fully equipped kitchens, and balconies.

There are great amenities nearby, from shops to an IMAX cinema, and you’re also just minutes from Orlando’s theme parks, shop, restaurants, and other attractions.
With a hire car at your disposal (highly advisable for Florida family holidays), you can make the most of all this from your fantastic villa base.
