Pensacola: A Stylish Retreat
Florida is a true treasure trove for families, especially those traveling from the UK and Ireland. But let’s not forget about the glitzy side of the Sunshine State! First stop, Pensacola. Here, the luxurious Spa Portofino at Pensacola Beach’s Portofino Island Resort is not just about the usual pampering. It offers an intriguing red seaweed and seawater pearl facial. Now, picture this: You’re getting your treatment right by the pool or beach, and feeling as chic as Grace Kelly!
And while you’re in the area, don’t miss the historic Saenger Theater on Palafox Street. After its renovation in the ’90s, this elegant venue has made a name for itself with symphonies and classic films like Rear Window. Classy nights await!
Destin: Tee Time with a View
Just an hour’s drive from Pensacola, Destin is a golfer’s paradise. The Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort boasts four championship courses, namely Raven, Burnt Pine, Baytowne, and The Links Golf Club. Can you just imagine teeing off with stunning views of the Emerald Coast? It’s perfect for both the pro golfers and those just looking to enjoy a leisurely day with drinks in hand.
Panama City Beach: Sip & Cruise
Next up, let’s slip into the chill vibe of Panama City Beach. If your clients fancy a little wine tasting, make sure they check out SeaBreeze Winery – it’s the only working winery in the area! They transform local muscadine grapes into delicious wines and refreshing slushes that’ll make anyone feel like they’ve hit the jackpot.
And don’t let the fun stop there. Arrange for a yacht charter from Bay Point Marina for a perfect day on the water!

Captain Anderson’s Marina has private boats and dinner cruises that add an extra layer of fabulousness to their visit.
Tampa: Cocktails and Culture
Moving over to Tampa, the custom cocktail culture is thriving. A night at the Mandarin Hide in St Petersburg or the mysterious Ciro’s Speakeasy in Tampa is a must. Just remember to get the secret password before entry! Once in, indulge in classic cocktails and delicious fondue.
