Why Choose a Staycation in Florida

Whether you're planning a family vacation or a relaxing staycation, Florida resorts provide exceptional accommodations in some of the most scenic parts of the state.

Best Areas for Resorts in Florida

These Florida destinations are known for resort-style hotels offering luxury amenities, scenic landscapes, and relaxing vacation experiences.

01

Orlando

Orlando hosts some of the largest resort hotels in Florida, featuring expansive pools, entertainment venues, and family-friendly amenities.

Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World

Luxury near the parks

The Four Seasons sits inside Disney's gates but a world apart: a five-acre water park with lazy river, an adults-only pool, and Capa's rooftop steakhouse with a view of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. It's the answer to doing Disney without surrendering the vacation itself.

The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

Golf, spa, no parks required

Grande Lakes runs 500 acres southeast of the parks with a Greg Norman golf course, a 40-treatment-room spa, and a winding pool complex shared with the JW next door. Many guests never visit a theme park at all — which is rather the point.

02

Miami Beach

Miami Beach offers luxury beachfront resorts known for vibrant nightlife, ocean views, and upscale dining experiences.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach

Eleven pools on the ocean

As a pure resort footprint, the Fontainebleau is hard to out-scale in Florida: eleven pools, a private beach, a spa the size of a small hotel, and dining that never requires leaving. Sixty years of glamour help. Miami Beach's one-stop resort weekend.

1 Hotel South Beach

Nature-luxe beach resort

Between its four pools — including an adults-only rooftop with panoramic ocean views — and its 600-foot beachfront, 1 Hotel operates as South Beach's most complete eco-luxury resort. Reclaimed-wood rooms keep the sand-and-salt mood indoors.

03

Naples

Naples is famous for its elegant Gulf Coast resorts with scenic sunsets, golf courses, and relaxing spa facilities.

The Ritz-Carlton, Naples

The Gulf's flagship resort

Naples' flagship returned from its post-Ian rebuild bigger: a new tower of suites, an adults pool wing, kids' programming that actually engages, and the same three miles of Gulf beach. It remains the standard against which Florida's west-coast resorts are measured.

Naples Grande Beach Resort

Mangrove boardwalk to the sand

Naples Grande hides behind a mangrove preserve — a boardwalk carries you through it to the beach — with a 15-slide pool area for kids, har-tru tennis, and renovated tower rooms with Gulf sunsets. Full resort amenities at a notably gentler rate than its neighbor.

04

Key West

Key West features tropical island resorts surrounded by turquoise waters, historic charm, and a laid-back coastal atmosphere.

Casa Marina Key West, Curio Collection

Key West's grand dame

Built by Flagler's heirs in 1920, Casa Marina holds the largest private beach in Key West, two oceanfront pools, and lawns made for sunset cocktails. Duval Street is a ten-minute stroll when you want it. The island's only true grand resort.

The Reach Key West, Curio Collection

Natural-sand hideout

The Reach keeps a quieter profile on Key West's only natural sand beach, with spa cabanas facing the Atlantic and a sister-property pass to Casa Marina's pools next door. It's the adult-leaning half of the pair — calm water, strong daiquiris, no schedule.
