9 Fabulous Relaxed Luxury Resorts in Florida

Most luxury resorts in Florida offer an enviable relaxed vibe that puts guests immediately in a Fins Up mood. Florida is one of the few places where you can wear shorts and flip flops to resort restaurants. I know, because I did—and I do! Please, though, no wet swimsuits in the restaurants.

This list of relaxed luxury resorts in Florida is organized from north to south, as you might encounter them on Sunshine State road trips. I also included at least one special feature (a McCool Travel tip) for each property. And if you visit these fun relaxed luxury Florida resorts after Thanksgiving, their tropical holiday decorations are amazing.

While I personally visited these Florida luxury resorts, I realize there are dozens of others.
