Solara

Surf, splash, repeat.
Solara turns up the volume.

Standalone 8 and 9-bedroom homes with private pools, themed rooms, and full access to a clubhouse complex with a FlowRider surf simulator, splash pad, and Tiki bar. Twenty minutes from Walt Disney World, in the Orlando area.

Amen to Amenities

The home is the start.
The rest is what you remember.

Solara homes are 8 and 9-bedroom standalone estates, so you get your own front door, your own pool, your own quiet morning. But the reason guests keep coming back is what happens at the clubhouse. A FlowRider surf simulator anchors the complex, with a splash pad for the youngest, a community pool fringed by palms and private cabanas, a Tiki bar pouring tropical drinks, and an ice cream parlor. Then there are the courts: basketball, volleyball, a full-size soccer field. Walt Disney World is twenty minutes down the road. Some days the kids won’t want to leave Solara at all.

The Trip That Doesn’t Need Disney

Some days, you won’t
make it past the clubhouse.

The parks are why most groups book the trip. Somewhere around day three, that changes. Someone signs up for a FlowRider session, the little ones plant themselves at the splash pad, and the teens find the basketball court. By sunset, everyone’s circled back to the Tiki bar. Disney is still twenty minutes down the road. Most of the trip happens between your private pool and the clubhouse complex next door.

  • Private pool and spa at every home, pool heat available year-round, and a Guest Experience team to handle the rest
  • FlowRider surf simulator, splash pad, and a community pool with private cabanas, all walkable from your front door
  • Tiki bar and grill, plus an ice cream parlor and sundries store at the clubhouse for everything you forgot to pack
  • Basketball, volleyball, and a full-size soccer field, plus a fitness center for the early risers
