Virgin Holidays View
Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s newest Personal Luxury Resort certainly rocks! Located ocean side on Vero Beach, guest rooms are lavishly furnished and the amenities are nothing short of world class. As well as a state-of-the-art fitness centre, packed with the latest cardio equipment, there’s a full-service spa offering an impressive range of treatments. Highly recommended is the signature Hot Lava Shell Massage or treat yourself to a Fountain of Youth Facial, both guaranteed to leave you not only looking great but feeling great too! On the beach, there are water sports galore or allow the concierge to arrange a golfing trip to a nearby championship course. There’s also tennis in the local area or simply relax in the sun at the resort’s infinity-edged swimming pool, a delightful place to kick back with a good book and an exotic cocktail from the pool bar. When it comes to dining, look no further than Oriente; not just a restaurant, more of an experience you will never forget. Specialising in Cuban cuisine, there are Spanish, Latin and Creole influences too with plenty of fresh fish on the menu and some delicious desserts, including Floridian favourite, Key Lime Tart. Round off the perfect meal with the perfect cup of coffee, Cuban of course, just like Gloria!
