A Tourist’s Guide to Luxury Florida
Florida is a wild state – there’s so much to do and so much to explore. From the starstruck beaches of Miami to the scrubland to the swamp, you’ll find no shortage of luxury tourism during your visit. So what are you waiting for? Book up, do your research and get to travelling!
The Beach and the Deco District
Shopping, lounging, bathing, swimming, drinking, burning, laughing; Miami beach is one of Florida’s most iconic locations. Take the edge off the heat and lounge near the sparkling waters of the U.S. coast, cocktail in hand. Many high end hotels, five star dinner hotspots and iconic 20th century architecture are right on hand, with the Art Deco district right on top of all beachgoers.
For the more adventurous amongst you, check out the beach water sports industry. Parasailing, speedboat rides and water skiing are all on offer. Or, alternatively, rent and captain your very own sailboat and take off into the bay. Certain city tours offer a combo: one part city tour, one part sail experience and one part everglades airboat ride.
Wild Cassadaga
If you’re in the market for something a little more out there, look no further than the small, busy town of Cassadaga. Off in the west of Florida, this inconspicuous village has a worldwide reputation for all things psychic, all things medium and all things clairvoyant. If the occult world had a concentrated capital, Cassadaga would be it.
A tour of Florida wouldn’t be complete without a peek in, with the Spiritualist camp being the main attraction. With a cohort of psychics, teachers and community members manning the garrison, there’s plenty to be learned and plenty to explore for even the most sceptic of tourists. Head to a seminar. Take a tour. Book a session online – it’s worth doing your research beforehand, mind you. Whether you’re in for tarot, psychic readings or the crystal ball, read up about your online and over the phone options, and find someone you’re comfortable with.
And once you’re all psyched out, consider the nearby Lyonia preserve. A winding mix of scrub, hiking trails, turtles and birds, you can get your fill of Florida nature without too much worry about local alligators.
The Luxury Disney World Experience
Warm, dewy and golden with sunshine, Florida is perfect for a Disney World trip at most every time of the year. This iconic tourist location is a world unto its own, an entertainment state built just off Lake Buena Vista. Disney World Florida the stuff of childhood (and many adult) dreams. For the best experience, consider purchasing park “Fast Passes” to help you skip queues and packages with access to extra “magic hours.” These off peak timings will allow you and your family to explore the attractions without the stress of crowds – relatively speaking.
With two parks on water and four on land, there’s enough to do here for at least several weeks while staying in the local deluxe villas and resort hotels. Meet your favourite characters, ride Space Mountain and make a splash in Typhoon Lagoon. Memories will be made here that you won’t soon forget.
And that goes for all of Florida, to boot!
