Combine a hip beach and city break with a tropical island getaway with this special twin centre holiday to Miami and the Florida Keys.
Spend three nights bed and breakfast at the 3* Wyndham Garden Hotel in Miami's South Beach, then discover the stunning Florida Keys with a five night, room only stay at the 4* Hilton Key Largo Grande Resort and Beach Club, all from just £689 including flights.
Miami
Miles of pristine beaches, lively nightlife, great shopping and a Latino vibe – Miami is a glamorous city that begs to be explored. Take a walking tour to appreciate the colourful, art deco architecture, or peruse one of the city's many art galleries. Enjoy freshly-caught fish and the popular 'Floribbean' cuisine in great value restaurants. Visit Little Havana for a taste of Cuba, or go celebrity-spotting on Ocean Drive. After dark, Miami comes to life with an array of glossy cocktail bars and all-night clubs. Shopping fans can choose between unique boutiques in South Beach, bargain outlet malls just out of town and high-end designer stores in Coconut Grove. For families, Jungle Island wildlife park and Miami Children's Museum offer exciting days out. Don't miss fascinating sea life shows and the chance to swim with dolphins at Miami Seaquarium. There's far more to Miami than the beach, but it's world famous for a reason: enjoy energetic water sports, take a boat trip, or simply lie back and soak up the Floridian rays.
Key Largo
With stunning natural beauty and lots to see and do, Key Largo is a unique tropical holiday destination. The island is the first stop on the highway that snakes over the sea from the mainland, connecting the Florida Keys. Sandwiched between the Everglades National Park and North America's only living coral reef, Key Largo offers the chance to spot some fascinating wildlife, from bears to barracudas. Relax on white sandy beaches, take a boat trip through the dazzling jade green waters, or go snorkelling and diving (locals call Key Largo 'The Diving Capital of the World'.) Key Largo has a thriving artistic community, meaning that there are plenty of galleries to visit. You'll also find chilled-out bars and cool nightclubs, as well as in-hotel entertainment. The fishing off Key Largo is world famous, so it's little wonder that seafood is the local culinary speciality. There's an array of international restaurants too, including Mediterranean, Italian and fast food joints. Key Largo's got it all, but don't miss a road trip down the scenic highway to discover more of the Florida Keys.

The ancient Greek Mycenaeans knew a thing or two when they landed in Cyprus in the Bronze Age and built the settlement of Paleokastro on the northwest headland of Coral Bay.
Thousands of years on it’s still waiting to be discovered by many tourists heading for the larger and better-known resorts on the south and west Cypriot coastline. But with one of the island’s best beaches, and situated just 30 minutes from Paphos airport, Coral Bay is as accessible as it is attractive.
In 2009, a new airport link bus was launched, making it cheaper for visitors without transfers to reach Coral Bay. The eight-mile drive north of bustling Paphos on the south-western coastline takes visitors through banana plantations and vineyards, setting the scene for Coral Bay’s laid-back charms.
With its safe bathing and nightlife more suited to mature types than party animals, it’s a good choice for families. The flagship Coral Beach Hotel & Resort is the first and only five-star property on the island to offer a family plan. There are a selection of rooms, some inter-connecting, to accommodate two adults and up to three youngsters on an all-inclusive basis, plus a children’s restaurant with optional early meals and daytime entertainment programme.
While it doesn’t have the historic interest of nearby Paphos, Coral Bay is an ideal base to explore the rest of Cyprus and there are plenty of attractions and activities nearby served by a regular bus service.
For clients needing some rest and relaxation the beach is an obvious draw and there are some excellent spa hotels. Coral Bay also has a good selection of restaurants and local shops making it an attractive option for self-caterers who want to go it alone in a villa.
