Florida Holidays

Looking to embark on an unforgettable journey across the United States? Why not consider our incredible Florida package holidays?

Nestled along the eastern coast of North America, Florida effortlessly combines family-friendly attractions with a vibrant nightlife. And let's not forget about the weather—it's no wonder they call it the Sunshine State.

Once you arrive, there are a few must-visit destinations that should be on your list. Miami offers the perfect fusion of stunning beaches and bustling city life. With a plethora of trendy hotels and endless blue skies, you'll be spoiled for choice on what to do first.

Of course, no trip to Florida would be complete without experiencing its world-class theme parks and attractions. Meet Mickey and friends or stroll down Main Street and find yourself at Cinderella's castle in Walt Disney World Resort. Are you a Potterhead? Immerse yourself in the enchanting Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

For a more relaxed getaway, why not explore some of the state's breathtaking areas like St. Pete's, Clearwater, or Fort Myers? Alternatively, indulge in a luxurious villa experience in Fort Lauderdale.

If stunning coastlines are what you seek, Florida won't disappoint. Located just 120 miles south of the mainland, the Florida Keys offer a slice of paradise. While all the keys are special, our top recommendation is Key West. Enjoy the cool vibes of Duval Street's trendy bars, witness breathtaking sunsets at Mallory Square, or immerse yourself in the local culture at the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum.

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime with our remarkable Florida package holidays.

Why you should twin-city in Kissimmee and St. Pete/Clearwater

Picking just one stop whilst on holiday in Florida can be a challenge. The Sunshine State is home to multiple cities and beach-side towns that offer their own unique slice of Floridian culture. As multi-centre holidays increase in popularity, we encourage our holidaymakers to pick two (or more) must-see destinations to allow them to get the most out of their sun-drenched holiday.

Two of our top picks are the towns of Kissimmee (which is nicely snuggled in beside Orlando) and St. Pete/Clearwater, overlooking the shimmering Gulf of Mexico. Here are just a few reasons why they make the perfect twin-centre Florida holiday.
