The natural beauty of Central Florida is on display in Orlando, with lagoons, lakes and grasslands all contributing to a spectacular landscape. One of the most memorable ways to experience this striking panorama is via a private hot air balloon ride with Champagne and a picnic lunch. If you prefer to stay on manicured-ground, Florida is also famed for its glorious golf courses, with more than 50 located in the Orlando area. For guests staying at the newly opened Conrad Orlando, your concierge can arrange a perfect day on the green for you out on the hotel’s highly acclaimed Grand Cypress Golf Club courses, with both the Links Course and the Cypress Course boasting magnificent views. Cool down afterward with a dip in the 8-acre (3.2-hectare) serene crystalline lagoon, complete with white sand, watersports and chic private cabanas. Additional activities include paddleboarding and kayaking in the waters off of the hotel’s private white sand beach.

When it comes time to unwind, Orlando’s nearly 150 green spaces are a world away from the intensity of the theme parks, and well-worth exploring. You can even claim some serenity in downtown Orlando on the peaceful lawns of Lake Eola Park. Prefer to stay close to your home away from home? Conrad Orlando has its own tranquil corners to escape to as well, including an immersive water garden surrounded by beautiful local flora. Conrad Spa is perched above the garden, perfectly situated to further your revitalizing wellness journey. The menu of signature treatments includes an ocean essence ritual, which offers a seaweed bath, body scrub and wrap using nutrient-packed ingredients and a garden paradise treatment for couples, featuring massages bookended by aura cleansing and sound rituals, as well as a bespoke flower elixir ceremony.
