It's no surprise that Villa Holidays to Florida are so popular for families, large groups and even couples. Head to Orlando and the abundance of theme parks that this part of Florida is known for is within easy reach. It's perfect for families looking for a magical experience to the likes of Disney World, Universal Resort and many others. Away from the parks, you can enjoy day trips to the coast, amazing shopping, or simply spending time in the sunshine by the pool.
The best time to enjoy a villa holiday in Florida is between February and May when temperatures are in the 20s (so being outside at the theme parks is much more enjoyable), the chance of rain is much less than other times of the year and the parks are quieter outside of school holidays. This can also be a much cheaper time to go when prices drop because it's quieter. The summer months between June and August/September, often considered the busiest because families escape the UK during the summer school holidays, can be much warmer, so be prepared for longer queues out in the hot sunshine. June to September can also be considered the rainy season.
If you're planning on heading to the Gulf Coast in Western Florida, March to May is also still a good time to go, but so are the autumn months of October and November. Places like Fort Myers, Clearwater, St Petersburg and Marco Island are wonderful areas to spend a relaxing break enjoying the warm waters and soft sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico.

The natural destination for most Brits heading to Florida, Orlando is the gateway to the fantastic theme parks of the region. There is an abundance of villas in Orlando, many with pools, perfect for families.

Florida's Gulf Coast is underrated by UK holidaymakers, with destinations including Tampa, Naples and Clearwater. The West Coast offers stunning beaches, warm weather and a wealth of activities to enjoy while on holiday.

For those looking to explore stunning islands, flying into Miami and heading down for a villa holiday in the Florida Keys is the perfect escape. You'll find plenty of villa and apartment accommodation in the Keys.

Just south of Orlando, lies Kissimmee, a short drive from Disney World and the theme parks and full of gated communities with wonderful villas. It can be a great location to base yourself from if you're hiring a car.
There are a great range of tour operators you can book through who offer flight inclusive holidays, however, we always recommend booking with a respected operator with ABTA or ATOL protection to ensure you are financially protected, especially in tough times like during Covid-19. You should always check the latest travel restrictions, up to date advice, passport and visa information and much more on the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office wesbite, or with the National Travel Health Network (NaTHNaC).
As one of the world's leading travel companies, TUI Holidays provides ATOL protection to a wide range of destinations including the USA and, more specifically, Florida. Both hotel and holiday home accommodation can be booked along with flights, transfers, and theme park tickets, and regularly have discount codes and special offers to help keep the cost down. Free child places may also be available so be sure to add child ages to your search to get the best offers.
British Airways Holidays is another favourite for British holidaymakers going longhaul, with loads of options and incorporating both BA and American Airlines flights. If you're a frequent flyer or Avios collector, you can also part pay with points too.
James Villa Holidays are well known for their accommodation only options across Europe and around the world. If you're happy to book the individual elements of your next holiday, this can be a great option.
Virgin can be another good choice, especially with their focus on the US. Twin centre holidays, combining Florida with another area like New York or Las Vegas can be an exciting adventure to explore.
Especially in light of Covid-19, it's important to check the cancellation policy before booking. Booking conditions can vary from company to company, particularly if you're booking package with flights. You may be able to book with a low deposit, allowing you to minimise the financial risk of booking, but you should always follow the FCDO advice before booking too.
