Orlando’s hospitality landscape is expanding with the upcoming opening of Villatel Orlando Resort, set for March 3. The property features a blend of themed villas, apartments, a water park and VIP experiences. Located along Orlando’s International Drive, Villatel Orlando Resort is just minutes from Universal Orlando Resort and other popular attractions.
“Villatel Orlando Resort was designed to fill a gap in Orlando’s hospitality market by bringing people together in an elevated, ultra-playful setting that offers all the best comforts of home,” said Stephen Lobell, CEO of Villatel, in a recent press statmenet. “From multigenerational families to sports teams and theme park lovers, our resort creates an immersive dreamworld where guests can bond and make lifelong memories.”
The Villa Experience
With 270 villas designed for groups of up to 26 guests, Villatel Orlando Resort offers four- to nine-bedroom retreats that feature private spa pools, chef’s kitchens, movie theaters and game rooms, making them ideal for multigenerational family getaways and reunions.
A standout feature is the resort’s immersive themed bedrooms where kids can sleep in castle bunk beds, slide into adventure-filled rooms and explore arcade-style game spaces, all crafted by Immersive Scenic Studios, a renowned Orlando-based design team.
Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy
Villatel Orlando Resort will also debut Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy Resort, featuring 256 apartments. These two- and three-bedroom accommodations come with full kitchens, spacious living areas and private balconies. Select units even include arcade games and themed bedrooms.
The property also features Aqua Bay, a 200,000-square-foot water park with slides like the Blue Blaster, Violet Vortex and Emerald Rush. Younger guests can splash around in Splash Cove, while those seeking relaxation can drift along the Lazy Loop or enjoy the Grand Resort Pool. Additional amenities include basketball and pickleball courts, a Top Golf Swing Suite, a fitness center and the Aqua Bar & Grille, offering poolside dining and cocktails.
