Florida holidays: think pristine sandy beaches, mind-bending amusement parks and trendy art deco districts. For culture, visit Miami’s chic South Beach and duck into one of the many trendy bars and restaurants. Lovers of sandy beaches and crystal clear water can get their fill of coastal beauty in the Gulf of Mexico on the legendary beaches of Sanibel and Sarasota, or underwater for a diving adventure in Key Largo. Encounter alligators in the Everglades and take an unforgettable ride on an airboat. And for the perfect holiday snaps? Head to Key West and pose beside the picturesque lighthouses, colorful wooden houses and famous Hemingway house.

"David really listened to what we wanted and he put an amazing itinerary together. We booked our trip almost a year in advance and David went through everything with us just before we were due to leave, even remembering that one of our group was celebrating his 50th birthday during our trip. It was a fabulous and varied trip. The Dossiers were very helpful and it was reassuring to have the Concierge as a contact - very impressed. Having the eSIM was an extra bonus."

"Great hotel recommendations and itinerary. The app is great, we loved having all the information in one place. The restaurant recommendations were good, and we like that there are links directly to Google maps, etc. We didn't use the Concierge service but it was good to have as backup."

Who is Florida best for ?

A pleasure-seeker’s paradise, Florida has it all - from year-round sunshine and beaches lined with dancing palm trees to a vibrant culture centred around art-deco, design and fashion. On a Florida holiday, fun and rest in equal measure are always on the menu, making it the perfect spot for families with children in tow. Enjoy the many theme parks in Orlando and don’t miss a trip to the famous Walt Disney World. If you’re after glamour, the myriad islands and keys are just begging to be explored aboard a luxury yacht, while beach bums drawn to the siren song of the ocean are well catered for with plenty of opportunities for swimming, seafood and sunsets along Miami’s Gulf Coast. And if you’re more of an adrenaline junkie, no Florida holiday is complete until you visit the swamps and kayak through alligator infested waters or meet loggerhead turtles and manatees underwater.


Which experiences is Florida best for?

Oozing with culture, Florida is a treasure trove of art and architecture. Wander through Miami’s hip Wynwood district, full-to-the-brim with street art, and visit the many outdoor museums showcasing large-scale works by some of the world’s best-known street artists. For architecture, get a taste of the past in the Art Deco District with over 800 pastel coloured buildings or, for a more contemporary feel, enjoy the sleek modern architecture, upscale interior design stores and art galleries of the Design District. Head south to the Florida Keys and explore its string of tropical islands including Key West - home to Ernest Hemingway, colourful Simonton Street, and sunset haven Mallory Square.


Special things to do in Florida

In the cities immerse yourself in museums and galleries and learn about the subtleties of design and contemporary art. Outside of the city, enjoy an exciting seaplane ride to the wild paradise of the Everglades, a world of coastal mangroves, sawgrass marshes and pine flatwoods home to hundreds of animal species. Swim with dolphins, hunt barracuda and hop aboard a kayak in Dry Tortugas National Park, or explore the pristine beaches and mysterious mangroves of Ten Thousand Islands. Go to Eulethera where you can rub shoulders with artists, surfers and musicians and for a dreamy sea swimming spot, dip into the crystal clear waters of Caladesi.
