When most people think of visiting Orlando, they immediately picture the exciting chaos of theme parks–long lines, endless walking, and chasing after energetic kids. But what if you could escape all that and enjoy a completely different side of Orlando? Enter Conrad Orlando, the perfect destination for a luxurious, rejuvenating vacation that blends relaxation, wellness, and family-friendly fun. Whether you’re seeking some “me time” to recharge or a peaceful family getaway after a theme park adventure, Conrad Orlando is an oasis of calm that promises to exceed all expectations. Here’s why this resort should be at the top of your list!
A Luxury Experience with Unmatched Convenience
The Conrad Orlando recently celebrated its first anniversary, and it’s safe to say it’s a stunning destination. From the moment you walk in, the sleek, modern design takes your breath away. I stayed in a King Deluxe Suite, which boasted a private balcony with an incredible view of the pool and lagoon. Whether it was day or night, the view was simply mesmerizing! Each guest is given a stylish bracelet as their room key, and for the little ones, there’s a charming orange bunny figure on each balcony, perfect for playtime.
The resort is designed with families in mind, offering amenities that provide both relaxation and fun. The zero-entry pool is expansive and heated, with a splash pad and a sand area equipped with toys for kids. Guests can enjoy fun poolside activities like dive-in movies and an alligator encounter. Plus, floaties and complimentary sunscreen are provided for your convenience. If you arrive early or need to stay after check-out, the resort has a special arrival and departure lounge where you can freshen up.
For parents looking to unwind, the Conrad Orlando also offers a fantastic kids’ club, featuring STEAM classes and a “Kids Night Out” program. This gives you the freedom to enjoy some time at the spa or explore the resort’s luxury amenities while your kids have a blast.
Spa and Wellness: Relaxation Redefined
At Conrad Orlando, wellness isn’t just a buzzword–it’s a core focus. The resort offers a variety of treatments designed to help you relax, recover, and recharge. If you’ve spent a day exploring the theme parks, you’ll love their muscle recovery treatments, including the soothing Florida Springs Mineral Bath. This treatment takes place in a tranquil outdoor water garden, where you can unwind amid lush greenery while absorbing minerals that reduce stress and improve circulation. Afterward, indulge in a Blanket of Calm Massage, a signature Conrad ritual that incorporates sound therapy, breathwork, and a relaxing face and scalp massage.
The spa’s calming atmosphere sets the stage for ultimate relaxation, and the experience doesn’t end there. Conrad Orlando also features a state-of-the-art fitness center, offering wellness classes like yoga, guided stretching, and sound meditation to keep your mind and body in balance.
A Connection to Evermore Resort and Walt Disney World®
One of the best parts about staying at Conrad Orlando is its location within the sprawling 1,100-acre Evermore Resort. Guests have access to all the resort’s amenities, including paddleboarding, kayaking, water slides, and rope swings–perfect for family fun. And if you love spending time by the fire, the resort offers cozy s’mores evenings and even an arcade for some extra entertainment.
If you’re craving some Disney magic, you’re in luck! Conrad Orlando is a Walt Disney World® Good Neighbor Hotel, which means you can easily take the luxury motor coach shuttle to all four Disney parks–just a short distance away. No need to worry about parking or hassle–just hop on and let the resort take care of the rest.

The Science of Sleep: A Restorative Experience
As part of the Sleep & Wellness Retreat, I had the opportunity to learn from Dr. Rebecca Robbins about the vital importance of sleep. The Conrad Orlando takes sleep health seriously, offering Wellness Guest Rooms designed with thoughtful amenities that promote relaxation and restful sleep. These rooms are equipped with a smart mattress that adjusts to your comfort, cooling sheets, and a lamp that mimics the calming hues of sunset. You’ll also find a nature sound machine, a fitness kit, and a percussion massage gun–everything you need for a full recovery.
Add to that a luxury air purifier, a salon-grade hair dryer, and an aromatherapy shower, and you’ve got a room that truly elevates your wellness journey.
