While spending holidays in Miami Beach, visitors have the opportunity to easily visit other nearby South Florida vacation destinations such as Fort Lauderdale, Naples, Palm Beach or Key West.  South Florida offers plenty of vacation villas in Palm Beach, Palm Beach holiday rental apartments and hotels where you could stay while enjoying tours, sightseeing or activities. Visitors have two routes that they can use to get to Palm Beach: I-95 to Palm Beach or exiting I-95 around Pompano Beach and then using A1A towards the beach until you reach Palm Beach.

The quickest way to reach Palm Beach is also the most boring route which will get you there in 75 to 90 minutes without traffic. If making this trip during the week, it is best to leave Miami Beach before 7 AM or latest, by 10 AM. Many visitors in Miami will go to Palm Beach for the day.

The route along A1A provides a truly nice drive through the adorable towns of Del Rey Beach and Lantana. On this route, you will see multimillion-dollar waterfront mansions paving a large portion of the way.

The cities of Lantana and Palm Beach feature their architectural magnificence through huge modern palaces. Visitors in Palm Beach instantly love this upscale historic seaside town with expensive taste. The main commercial street in Palm Beach is named Worth Avenue. It boasts a concentration of the world’s most luxurious brand names such as Cartier, Prada and more.  Shopping in Palm Beach is not for everyone; if you are on a tighter budget, hop on a taxi and head towards West Palm Beach, which is a 5-minute drive from Palm Beach. West Palm Beach is the downtown of Palm Beach with high-rise buildings and its new commercial district City Place. City Place features restaurants, cafes, bars, night clubs and stores.

Our trip to Palm Beach was at the end of June and the city was dead. The streets and restaurants were all empty. High season in Palm Beach is from December to April. If you plan to spend the night in Palm Beach, you may stay in the legendary Breakers Hotel or alternatively, in Palm Beach holiday rental apartments or vacation villas in Palm Beach.

Vacation villas, Holiday homes

Renting vacation villas has become a new trend in the hospitality industry all over the world. The introduction of internet was instrumental in the development of this new industry. Renting holiday homes offers plenty of benefits from added comfort, space, affordability and the possibility of a large group spending their vacation under the same roof. Vacationers with special needs, young kids or special eating preferences appreciate spending their vacation in vacation villas. Families with young kids prefer to stay in holiday homes as it is simply more practical.

Feeling at home in a nice vacation villa is a unique experience. If you are traveling with a large group, staying at a hotel can get very pricey. Renting 4 rooms in a nice hotel can run from $300 to $1,000 per night/per room. The math is compelling in favor of vacation villas. The full-size kitchen found in holiday homes helps to keep your vacation budget under control. Restaurants can be quite expensive, especially when you eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner with about 12 people. If you are traveling in a moderate to large size group, vacation villas are the way to go.

Choosing Between Vacation Villas and Vacation Apartments

Vacation villas, Vacation apartments

The best choice between vacation villas and vacation apartments depends on many different factors including where the vacationer wants to go. Seaside resorts and countryside resorts may offer an equal amount of vacation apartments and vacation villas whereas urban areas are mainly made up of vacation apartments. Finding vacation villas in Paris, London or New York is possible but quite difficult. When you do find them, they are usually far from the center or quite expensive.

People traveling in larger groups usually prefer to stay in vacation villas while smaller groups are perfectly comfortable in vacation apartments. Budget is another factor to consider. Vacation villas tend to be more expensive than vacation apartments. Vacation apartments vary in size from a simple studio to a 3 bedroom apartment. Vacation villas tend to be larger with a minimum of 2 bedrooms ranging all the way up to 6 bedrooms. Vacation apartments rarely have more than 3 bedrooms and are therefore not suitable for larger groups of vacationers.

Vacation rental villas in Tuscany, Tuscany vacation villas

Tuscany is in Northern Italy, south of the Liguria region. It is a prime tourist destination thanks to its wonderful countryside and its famous cities such as Florence and Siena.  Tuscany has a superb coastline that is usually not properly featured in most foreign travel guides. Forte Dei Marmi and Viarregio are two beautiful seaside resorts with many attractive Tuscany vacation villas and vacation rental villas in Tuscany.  The coast of Tuscany is visited mostly by Italians, most specifically those from Rome. Rome locals own Tuscany vacation villas or rent vacation rental villas in Tuscany in those locations for the season. Forte Dei Marmi and Viareggio are adorable desolate seaside locations due to the fact that they are not yet on the map for worldwide jet setters. La Maremma is another location where Rome locals like to spend short holidays, specifically since the opening of the resort called L Andana which is affiliated with the world-renowned chef Alain Ducasse. Eating in Tuscany, particularly on its coast is a treat especially for those who like seafood. Wines in Italian restaurants are much more affordable than in other countries so don’t hesitate to order a bottle of Chianti. Whether you eat in restaurants or at home in your Tuscany vacation villas, you will appreciate the quality. If you are visiting or staying in Viarregio vacation rental villas in Tuscany, try Romano (Via Mazzini,122 :39-058431382). It is quite expensive at about 120$ per person but well worth it. Viarregio has some nice beaches with breathtaking views of the Apuane Alps.


Forte Dei Marmi is a prime seaside city filled with luxury stores and intense clubbing. Forte Dei Marmi is an upscale resort destination with several luxury Tuscany vacation villas and vacation rental villas in Tuscany. Beaches are large and very well equipped to attract and accommodate rich vacationers.
