Orlando is known for over-the-top family fun where kids of all ages can make their dreams come true. One of the city’s newest properties, Villatel Orlando Resort, takes the fun beyond the theme park by creating unique stays designed to delight children.

 

Villatel, located in Orlando’s tourism district, is just a few minutes away from the city’s top attractions, but thanks to the incredibly talented design team of Immersive Scenic Studios, the resort offers kid suites and entertainment spaces that will ensure your little ones never want to leave the hotel.

The one-of-a-kind resort features private villa rentals, giving families all the privacy and space they need for an enjoyable, stress-free vacation. While spaces are private and homey, they also include standard hotel-style amenities like cleaning service. Some amenities go above and beyond the norm like stroller rental, wheelchair delivery, babysitting and kosher kitchen options.

 

The two- to nine-bedroom villas include every imaginable luxury and amenity ranging from private pools to in-home theaters to arcades and game rooms, but the star of the show is the unique kid-themed rooms that let your little ones live out their fantasies. These rooms are decked out from floor to ceiling in handcrafted designs like the Toyland Suite, decorated with larger-than-life dolls, Super Soakers and crayons; or the imagination lab, which transports their imaginations to a secret underground lab where they can have fun on the spiral slide and play with the lifel-ike lab equipment.

With themes like Enchanted Castle, Candyland and Wizarding Wonderland rooms, there is something for every kid’s interest. Rooms are not only creatively decorated, but they are also designed with beds tucked away into the design elements, giving kids a feeling of adventure that makes things fun and inspires their imaginations. In the Foodie room, for example, kids can sleep in bunk beds decorated with giant grilled cheese sandwiches, sushi and desserts, creating an experience they won’t find at home.

 

The resort is only minutes from Universal Orlando and Dezerland and just a short drive from Disney orld, Seaworld and ICON Park, making it ideally located for families visiting Orlando’s top attractions.

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program.
