Florida is just for families with kids, right? Wrong! The Sunshine State is the perfect place to head for some romantic time together. Many hotels are for adults only and even if they are not many will arrange activities for just the two of you, like a candle lit beach dinner or exclusive spa access. When you're done soaking up the sun or splashing in the pool, there's plenty for couples to explore. Newsflash, the famous parks allow kids of all ages in; so why not enjoy the magical charms and wonders of the many themed areas and Disney, high-flying after jointly surviving each adrenalin fuelled ride? Head south to indulge in the bohemian world of Miami, with its mix of world-famous beaches, boutique hotels and amazing nightlife. Braving the alligator infested swamps of the Everglades aboard an airboat is a must, as is a trip down the Keys to sip cocktails while watching a breathtaking sunset over Paradise Island. Whatever Florida holiday you choose, you can be sure romance will blossom in the Sunshine State.
Just the two of you heading for that romantic break in Florida? ou're in luck, because there's so much for couples to do in this extraordinary state. Climb the historic lighthouse at Key Biscayne together and climb its spiral staircase for a breathtaking view of the sea. Afterwards, why not try some of the water activities on the ocean you've just seen, such as kitesurfing or snorkelling. If you want to explore Florida at a more leisurely pace, go horseback riding on the sandy beaches of Amelia Island or take in the spectacular sights of St Augustine, America's oldest city, in the luxury of a horse-drawn carriage. Enjoy romantic sunsets while sipping fine food and drinks at famous spots such as Key West, St Pete Beach and Clearwater; or if you love sightseeing, take a hot air balloon ride from Orlando or arrange a private seaplane flight over the Keys. You can also take time out to relax on one of Florida's many beaches or, for a treat, check into a luxury hotel spa. And don't forget that all the famous parks in Orlando and Tampa also cater for big kids.
If you're looking for romance on your visit to the Sunshine State, why not try one of these recommendations? Take a romantic trip across the Keys over the Seven Mile Bridge to Key West, where you can sip cocktails as the sun gently sets behind Paradise Island. The Keys also offer excellent opportunities to explore the coral reefs and maybe kiss someone underwater, the fish won't tell anyone. While you're in the area, be sure to take a boat trip into the Everglades and get up close and personal with the wildlife. Once you've had enough of the tranquillity of the Keys, why not step up a gear and head to the bustling city of Miami. With its art deco architecture, miles of beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, it's a fantastic destination for a good time out. Further north, you can take a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through the oldest city in the US, St Augustine, watch dolphins on the beach in Naples and, of course, share the thrills of the roller coasters in Orlando and Tampa - perfect opportunities to shake hands. But there's more to this region than theme parks: enjoy the spectacular Sea World together, visit historic Old Town Kissimmee or take a hot air balloon ride from Orlando. Whatever you choose, we can guarantee that Florida will be the backdrop against which you get to know each other a little better.
