Florida Keys holidays

Holidays in Florida Keys

Discover a world of over 1,700 sun-soaked islands

The stunning keys are a perfect escape no matter whether you're looking for action and adventure, or to lie on a beach doing quite literally nothing.

Hire a car and hit the road along the famous Seven Mile Bridge, exploring colourful coral reefs, unspoilt beaches, an array of water sports, and great nightlife. There's no need to rush when you're on 'island time', so break up the journey and explore as many of the different keys as you can. The only thing missing from the Keys is you.

Island hopping and highway driving: Florida Keys explained

Strung out on the edge of the Caribbean, the Florida Keys are a sweeping chain of over 1,700 spectacular islands, untouched natural habitats and pristine coral reef. But don’t worry — among all the natural wonder, Florida Keys holidays are well-equipped to give you a bit of 21st century luxury too. You’ll find all the premium hotels, buzzing bars, sophisticated restaurants, and water sports you’ll need to get your heart racing.

Linked by U.S. Highway 1, otherwise known as the Overseas Highway, the journey through the Florida Keys is one of the most iconic in the country. If there’s one thing more American than a road trip, it’s a road trip that takes you all the way to Key West!

Here's our quick guide to the main areas:

Surrounded by nothing but blue waters and basking in the Caribbean-like climate, you’ll instantly find yourself falling in love with this natural paradise. Whether you’re interested in scuba diving on the only coastal coral reef in the United States, spotting some exotic wildlife, or just kicking back, relaxing and soaking up the sun on the beach, our Florida Keys holiday packages have it all. With their pastel-hued homes, turquoise waters, and quirky communities, these islands are as perfect as a cold slice of Key lime pie on a hot afternoon.

So, if you’re looking for sun-soaked holidays to the Sunshine State, but want something a little different from your traditional Florida fare, check out our luxury Florida Keys hotels and holiday packages.

Payments are being prioritised based on when the request was made, working in order from March 2020 onwards. We will always try to process refunds at the earliest opportunity, for requests before August our maximum timeframe is 120 days. As we are steadily reducing the maximum processing time for each new request, for refund requests made in August, we expect the maximum processing time to be 80 days, from the date the refund is requested. For those requesting a refund in September, we expect it to be processed within a maximum of 60 days, and then reduce to 30 days for refunds requested in October, before returning to normal levels.

We'll be in touch soon


To finalise the amendment, one of our customer advisors will phone you. We need to work through amend requests in departure date order so we can prioritise those with the most imminent travel plans, so you may have a longer wait than usual until we’re able to ring you back. We will help everyone that wants to move their holiday.
