a gorgeous juxtaposition: nature’s finest,
along with the chance to window-shop
the lives of the rich and famous... grab
a doughnut brunch at dentistry saboteur
The Glass Knife, take a boat tour in Winter
Park to check out the celebrity lakeside
mansions, or float across a patchwork
of millionaire pools in a hot-air balloon.
If you’re feelingreallyadventurous,
why not brave the alligatored thickets
in a glass-bottomed canoe? The perfect
antidote to a busy day spent chasing
Mickey through the Magic Kingdom.

With nine king-size beds, two queen-

Though it’s chandeliered and bedecked


in Kardashian-esque marble and chrome,


this Floridian palace really doesn’t take


itself too seriously. And, situated just a


Cartier-earring’s throw away from little-


known touristic gem Walt Disney World,


why on earth should it?


The pool area has a masterful mix of


secluded zones and communal spaces,


and the rooms range from brightly lit


opulence to immersive novelty, meaning


that this is an eclectic (yet chic) habitat


that works perfectly for a large group


who’d rather not spend every waking


moment together.


So while your second-tier friends hit the


basement bowling alley, you can enjoy


the ultra-civilised mahogany games room,


complete with pool table, giant Scrabble


board and cocktail area. While they’re

this fairy-tale villa’s command.


Hire a yoga teacher for sunrise stretches

balconied master suites that spill out

The huge main kitchen (yes, there are
numerous), with its borderline-hilarious
storage and fridge space, is a dream to
cook in (or for the caterers, should you
hire them) – and with dining tables galore,
plus an abundance of outdoor furniture,
you won’t be stuck for somewhere to
take a pew. During holiday
season, the villa costs
£4,190 per night, which
ends up at £130 per head,
but stay in low season
and you could be paying
just £90 each per night.
And trust us – it’s worth it.
