Enjoy Florida's hottest experiences
Romantic weekend getaways in Florida are all about trips to the perfect beaches of Sanibel and Amelia Island. Dive at the JN Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel, where the water sparkles alluringly. Amelia Island has been inhabited for at least four thousand years. Victorian buildings and verdant parks are a testimony to its long history as a resort destination. Situated between the Caloosahatchee River and Fort Myers Beach, the artsy resort town of the same name is a must for those on romantic getaways in Florida. Discover Thomas Edison's homestead and laboratory near the red brick main street.
Naturally, romantic getaways in Florida are incomplete without a visit to Miami, the city that "keeps the roof blazing", according to the Will Smith song. The city is a cultural polyglot, with Cuban jazz playing in Little Havana, salsa beats in salubrious candlelit clubs, and art deco delights stretching along Miami Beach. Soak up the views as you swim in Biscayne Bay, or dip into international quality art scene and eclectic culinary offering. For nightlife with a dash of glamour, come to Ybor City in Tampa. The bars and nightclubs here are still buzzing in the early hours. During the day, enjoy a rejuvenating wander along the Hillsborough River, with its views of city and meadowland. If you are in the mood for self-indulgence, you will find some of Florida's most stylish restaurants in Tampa.
