Florida Holidays

Holidays to Florida take you to an oasis of emerald green waters, beachfront cities with unparalleled shopping, and world-famous theme parks. Embark on your Florida holiday and explore this former Spanish colony; a state lined with beaches and blessed with beautiful sunshine.

Surrounded by two great oceans, it’s no surprise Florida boasts hundreds of miles of endless beaches. Discover the Gulf Coast’s long stretches of white sand, shimmering in the Floridian sun, or head to the east coast and watch the surfers and paddlers bob amongst the thrilling waves. These stunning beaches sit against a backdrop of some of the USA's most vibrant cities. From Miami and Fort Lauderdale to Tampa and Daytona Beach, uncover charismatic beach-side metropolises with a diverse charm that’s hard to ignore.

Outside of the cities, Florida’s spellbinding wildlife awaits. You may well spot its iconic alligators, but there’s even more to experience, whether you’re kayaking through mangroves or exploring Everglades National Park. Witness some of the 500 native species of bird, amazing turtles, and bottlenose dolphins. If you’re after a touch of romance, head to Florida Keys. A natural paradise stretching out over 120 miles, this archipelago offers up a world of nature, sunshine and breath-taking coral reefs.

Florida: Home to World Renowned Theme Parks

Even the most vivid imaginations couldn’t conjure up a wonderland to rival the one that awaits in Orlando. If you’re travelling with kids or are a big kid yourself, meet beloved characters, experience the rides, and enjoy exceptional entertainment at Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort™, and even The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™.

Get the most from your trip to Florida by visiting a few of its best destinations. If you’re a nature lover, stop off at a few of the state’s national parks, including Everglade, Dry Tortugas, or Biscayne. Combine a city break in Miami with a Florida Keys island-hopping adventure, or perhaps spend some time visiting beaches along the stunning Gulf Coast before exploring the delights of Orlando.

Destination Specialist

“There is so much to see and do in Florian, and getting around is so easy. Hire a car and add a few extra USA states to your Florida holiday. It would be a shame to visit only one side of this fantastic state.”

“For some of the best shopping in Florida be sure to visit Sawgrass MIlls. Just make sure you give yourself enough time – the mall is massive. If you only have a short time to shop then I would recommend planning your visit beforehand. “

Local Cuisine

Get a flavour of the local culture through your palate during your Florida holiday. Here are a few of our favourite foodie dishes.

Key Lime Pie

If you visit Florida Keys, you’ll find Key Lime pie everywhere, which is made with a crumb crust and has a smooth and zesty lime filling, before being topped with delicious and sweet meringue. It is the zingy Key limes that make all the difference to this flavoursome dessert.
Cuban Sandwich

One of the world’s most famous sandwiches, the Cuban sandwich consists of fresh Cuban bread filled with roasted pork, sliced ham, melted Swiss cheese, mustard and pickles. It is served toasted.
Florida Stone Crab

The best time to enjoy a dish of delicious stone crab in Florida is between October and May, when they’re caught fresh off the Atlantic Coast. Unlike other types of crab, stone crab is cooked, cracked, and served up alongside mustard sauce. The best place to find this delicious dish is from seafood shacks along the coast.
Florida Orange Juice

Florida’s enjoys a long growing season and so it boasts a bounty of fresh tropical fruits and vegetables. One of the most iconic is, of course, the orange. Orange juice is a favourite across the state. While there’s nothing more refreshing than a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, it also makes its way into many Floridian sauces, marinades and sweet confections.
