If this is the year you’re looking to splash out on the ultimate
Florida villa holiday, you’ve come to the right place...
As the biggest Florida specialist of our kind in Europe, we know a thing or two about villa resorts with the best pools.
After all, what is a villa holiday without a pristine swimming pool? In the Sunshine State, cooling off is always recommended and relaxing after a day filled with attractions is simply essential.
Many of the private pools at Florida villas can feel similar, but there can be a stark difference between the resort pools on offer. With this in mind, we have delved into our collection of over 2,500 holiday homes and found 7 resorts that let you dive into adventure.
From luxurious rooftop views to family-friendly water parks, here's somewhere for everyone...
ChampionsGate Resort
Highlight: The wave pool
ChampionsGate Resort is set over 900 acres of glorious greenery and is packed to the brim with amenities, not least the 18-hole golf course. It’s no wonder it’s one of the most popular holiday villa communities for an active holiday, and importantly, water enthusiasts will be in their element here.
Its Oasis Water Park is a paradise within a paradise, home to endless possibilities for aquatic fun. Get the adrenaline pumping as you zoom down water slides and ride the waves at the wave pool or opt for a relaxing trip down the lazy river.
Little ones will love the splash area, while parents can enjoy the tranquillity of the lagoon pool. And for when you want to escape the scorching Floridian heat, air-conditioned, poolside cabanas provide that welcome shade to retreat to.
Reunion Resort
Highlight: The rooftop pool
This upscale resort offers several incredible pool areas, most notably the rooftop pool, where you can take a dip while admiring the stunning views of the resort and surrounding areas. It’s also home to the Seven Eagles Pool Pavilion, where you’ll find a large resort pool, hot tubs, and a bar and grille for when hunger strikes.
Though if you’re after a little calmness, The Cove at Sandy Ridge and Terraces Pool both offer heated pools in serene environments, perfect for unwinding after a busy day taking in all that Orlando has to offer. And, of course, for even more peace, many villas at
Reunion Resort boast their own private pools, so you may want to opt for this option when booking.
Encore Resort at Reunion
Highlight: The 10-acre waterpark
Considered one of the best family resorts in Orlando, equipped with a wide variety of indoor and outdoor amenities, it comes as no surprise that the pool facilities at
The Encore Club are some of the best in town too. Home to a 10-acre waterpark, wet and wild fun is right at your doorstep.
If you’re feeling adventurous, brave the likes of WaveRacer, Stormchaser, and Tsunami by plummeting off a 60-foot tower. And for the little ones, the Surfing Safari Kids’ Splash Area is sure to please. Water slides, canons, and water jets are just a few of the activities to keep them entertained for hours.
And for the final encore, you won’t want to miss the arcade, where you can challenge the family to fierce air hockey and racing competitions or get nostalgic with classics such as Pac-Man and Centipede.
Solterra Resort
Highlight: the zero-entry pool
Solterra Resort is a sublime gated community, nestled in the Davenport area of Orlando. It is a tranquil haven away from the bustle of the major theme parks. Here, you will also find a wide range of pools to choose from. There is the zero-entry pool, perfect for that refreshing dip; the water slide, for when you crave a thrill; or the lazy river, offering a leisurely journey through the water.
Kids also have the option of the Children’s Splash Pad, a designated area for interactive water play, where little ones can cool off while having a blast. And when the time comes to get the family together for a little refreshment, the poolside bar awaits.
Windsor Hills Resort

Just outside the resort’s main clubhouse is a large, lagoon-style pool where you can cool off with a swim or feel the rush of excitement on the water slide. Then, there’s the large colourful water park, where kids can go wild, while adults can slip into serene relaxation in the hot tub.
