Located close to the US Highway 192 corridor, Solara Resort is well placed for Disney World, restaurants, supermarkets, shopping and other Central Florida attractions.

Solara Resort Villas and Community Facilities

One of the biggest attractions of Solara Resort is its impressive Grand Clubhouse and leisure complex. It gives families plenty to enjoy without needing to leave the community every day.

Swimming Pools and Water Activities

The resort’s swimming complex includes a large, zero-entry swimming pool, a children’s splash pad and interactive water-play features. It’s an ideal place for younger children to cool off and have fun while adults relax on the surrounding sun deck.

Poolside cabanas and seating areas provide additional space to unwind in the Florida sunshine.

For something a little different, Solara also features a FlowRider surf simulator, where guests can try their hand at riding an artificial wave. Charges may apply, and visitors should check the current operating arrangements and booking requirements before their stay.

Grand Clubhouse

The two-storey Grand Clubhouse is at the heart of the resort, with facilities designed to appeal to different ages and interests.

Facilities include:

• Resort swimming pool and children’s water-play area
• FlowRider surf simulator
• Fitness centre and outdoor fitness area
• Children’s playground and indoor activity spaces
• Teen and family entertainment areas
• Full-sized basketball court
• Beach volleyball court
• Football/soccer field
• Indoor and outdoor lounge areas
• On-site refreshments, bar and dining facilities
• Coffee, ice cream and convenience shopping facilities

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the clubhouse and pool areas. Facilities, opening hours, activities and any additional charges can change, so check the resort’s latest information before travelling.

Your Own Private Pool Villa

As well as enjoying the shared resort facilities, you can choose a holiday home with its own private pool. This is particularly appealing for families who want the freedom to enjoy a swim whenever they wish, without having to head to the communal pool.

Depending on the property, you may also find a games room, themed bedrooms, spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor dining area.

Villa features differ, so check the individual property description to confirm whether it has a private pool, whether pool heating is available and whether any additional charges apply.

Where Is Solara Resort?

Solara Resort is situated in the Kissimmee and Westside area of Central Florida, close to US Highway 192 and within easy driving distance of the Walt Disney World Resort area.

Its location makes it a convenient base for exploring the theme parks, shopping centres, golf courses and restaurants around Orlando. Local supermarkets and dining options are also a short drive away, making it easy to stock up on groceries or enjoy a meal out.

Solara is particularly suited to families who want a spacious villa and plenty of on-site activities, without being confined to a traditional hotel or large all-inclusive resort.

Solara Resort Location and Driving Times

Solara Resort is well placed for many of Orlando’s best-known attractions. The following are approximate driving times and should be used as a guide rather than a guarantee. Actual journeys depend on your villa’s location within the community, traffic, roadworks and the particular theme park entrance you are visiting.

Allow extra time during peak travel periods and when travelling to the parks at opening time. For the most accurate journey estimate, check your exact villa address and destination using live navigation before setting off.

Fastest Route from Orlando International Airport to Solara Resort

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the main arrival airport for many visitors travelling from the UK to Orlando.

The most suitable route depends on your villa’s exact address and current traffic conditions. A typical journey involves leaving the airport and following the main road network towards the Kissimmee and Westside area, then continuing to Solara Resort.

Before travelling:

1. Confirm your villa’s full address and check-in instructions.
2. Enter the address into your preferred navigation app before leaving the airport.
3. Check the route for current traffic, tolls and any roadworks.
4. Allow additional time if arriving during busy periods or after a long-haul flight.

The drive from MCO is typically around 35–45 minutes in normal conditions, although it can take longer at busy times.

Getting Around Solara Resort Without a Rental Car

Although you can use taxis and app-based transport around Orlando, we generally recommend hiring a car for the greatest flexibility when staying in a private villa.

A car makes it easier to visit the theme parks, explore different shopping areas, collect groceries and enjoy restaurants beyond the immediate resort area. It is especially useful for larger families and groups carrying bags, pushchairs or theme-park equipment.

If you prefer not to drive, you can arrange airport transfers in advance and use services such as Uber or Lyft for individual journeys. Availability and prices vary according to demand, time of day and journey distance.

For more information, see our Car Hire and Taxi Service guide.

Local Shops, Supermarkets and Restaurants

Solara Resort is within driving distance of local shopping and dining areas, making it straightforward to arrange meals and buy supplies for your villa.

Supermarkets and Everyday Essentials

Nearby supermarkets and convenience shops are useful for stocking your kitchen with breakfast items, drinks, snacks and food for family meals. You can also find shops selling holiday essentials and other everyday supplies in the wider US Highway 192 and Davenport areas.

If you plan to cook at your villa, a supermarket stop after collecting your hire car can be a convenient way to start your holiday.

Restaurants and Dining Out

The surrounding area offers a choice of casual restaurants, family-friendly dining, takeaway options and familiar American chains. Further choices can be found along US Highway 192 and around ChampionsGate.

The resort clubhouse also has on-site dining and refreshment facilities, although opening times and the range of food and drink available may vary.

For a wider choice of restaurants, it is worth exploring the nearby shopping and dining areas rather than relying solely on the facilities within the resort.

Theme Parks and Things to Do Near Solara Resort

Solara Resort is a convenient base for exploring Orlando’s major attractions, with plenty of options for days out beyond the villa.

Walt Disney World

Spend your days exploring the Disney theme parks, enjoying attractions for all ages, meeting favourite characters and experiencing the entertainment that makes Orlando such a popular family destination.

The journey time varies depending on which Disney park you are visiting and traffic around the entrances.

Universal Orlando Resort

Universal offers major rides, immersive themed lands and entertainment for families, teenagers and adults. It is worth planning your route and arrival time in advance, particularly during school holidays and busy periods.

Is Solara Resort a Good Choice for Families?

Solara is worth considering if you want more than just a place to sleep between theme-park visits.

It may be particularly suitable for:

• Families with children: the splash pad, water-play facilities and playground offer extra entertainment.
