While KKTWW continues to navigate the 2021 rollercoaster that is international travel, we know that even our most adventurous of clients may not be along for the ride. Although our options might be a bit more limited than usual, that doesn’t mean we have to endure freezing temps and another unsolicited snowstorm. Cue Florida—we’ve got our sights set on this warm weather oasis more than ever, and here’s why you should too!

With 1,350 miles of pristine coastline and plenty of family-friendly outdoor activities, the Sunshine State is the sublime solution to a much-needed reset and defrost. Whether you’re looking to lounge on a white sandy beach or indulge in a vibrant city scene, there are world-class accommodations that offer impeccable service and delectable dishes at each and every turn. And with spring break right around the corner, it’s prime time to put away those parkas and pack that SPF for some much-needed Vitamin D (and Vitamin Sea)!
