Description Lava & Lanai: Orlando

Sitting just under two miles from Epic Universe and within easy reach of the rest of Universal Studios Orlando, this home puts the area's biggest theme parks right on your doorstep – and the daily shuttle service means you can leave the car behind. Back at the resort, 80 acres of amenities do a lot of the heavy lifting – a lazy river winding through tropical landscaping, water park slides, a Topgolf swing suite, and a fitness centre. Your own screened pool terrace adds a private retreat when you want to escape the crowds.
