Orlando Villa Resorts

Reunion is a step up. It feels more like a high-end holiday neighbourhood than a resort — there are golf courses, rooftop restaurants, and some very swish homes. It’s a bit pricier than other options, but the space, the views, and the quality make it a good shout if you're after something a little special.

This one’s newer to the scene, and it shows — in a good way. Modern villas, loads of themed bedrooms for the kids (and big kids), and a fresh, clean design across the board. Location-wise, it’s close to International Drive, so you've got food, shops and fun all within easy reach. And the private pools? Big enough for actual swimming.

Encore brings a proper resort vibe to the villa game. You get your own home, but also water slides, a splash park, and food delivery from the clubhouse. The villas are modern and roomy, with loads of bedrooms — ideal for big groups. It's very family-focused, which means lots of noise and energy, in a good way.

This is a niche option within Solterra, offering upgraded homes with a sleeker finish. Think more space, themed bedrooms, cinema rooms, and bigger pools. It’s ideal if you like the Solterra layout but want something a bit more “new build luxury” without drifting into mega-villa territory.

Solterra ticks a lot of boxes. It’s gated, family-friendly, and not too far from the parks, which is always a win. Most of the villas come with private pools, and the resort itself has a huge communal pool with slides, plus a lazy river and clubhouse. If you're planning a chill day off from the parks, you’ll be sorted here.

Champions Gate is massive — and that’s part of the appeal. It has a huge range of villas, a full resort complex, golf, restaurants, and a water park. It’s not the closest to Disney, but the facilities more than make up for it. Great if you're travelling in a group with mixed interests (some want pool time, others want to hit the shops or course).

If you’re after that laid-back holiday feeling but still want to be close to the action, Margaritaville Resort Villas might be just what you’re looking for. These pastel-coloured cottages sit just minutes from the Disney gates but feel like their own little tropical escape — think palm trees, porch swings, and a serious amount of space.

The villas are private homes, but you still get all the perks of a resort: a massive pool, on-site dining, and a spa that’s dangerously tempting after a long day in the parks. The styling is fun and relaxed — nothing too fussy, just clean, comfy and a little bit beachy.

Great for families, groups, or anyone who prefers chilled-out evenings with a bottle of wine on the veranda over noisy hotel corridors.

If you’ve heard of ChampionsGate, this is the bit you want — The Retreat is where the holiday homes live. These are full-size villas with private pools, big open-plan kitchens, and more bedrooms than you probably need (in a good way). It's designed for bigger families or group trips where space isn’t just nice — it’s non-negotiable.

You’ll also get access to the resort’s massive clubhouse and water park, which includes a lazy river, slides, a splash zone, and plenty of sunloungers if you’re taking a rest day. There’s even an on-site bar and restaurant, so you don’t have to cook unless you really want to.

It’s not the closest to the parks — about 25–30 minutes to Disney depending on traffic — but if you’re after a proper villa with resort-style extras, this one’s a solid pick.
