Downtown Kissimmee
It’s time for women to start fighting back, while men escape to the country for a sneaky game of golf or a paintballing weekend away, the women often get left behind. So for girls that just want to have fun, Kissimmee has put together a winning combination of sun, spas and shopping to ensure the ladies can enjoy a girly getaway in Kissimmee, the heart of Florida.
Shopping
Enjoy quality retail therapy at the Loop Mall in Kissimmee. The entertainment complex features top name department and accessory stores, perfect for maxing out the credit card. Once you’re done with the shopping, stay on for a girly rom-com at the sixteen-screen cinema, or take advantage of one of the Loop’s many restaurants and bars.
We all know that everyone loves a bargain and central Florida boasts four leading outlet malls that have a combined 350 stores, with up to 75% off top named brands such as Dior, Armani and Coach. Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores, located just a short distance from Disney, is a charming enclosed factory village that holds many outlet exclusives, including luxury luggage store Samsonite and fashion outlet Tommy Hilfiger. Premium Outlets is another fantastic outlet mall where you can pick up generous discounts from the likes of Ralph Lauren, DKNY and one of the mall’s many new additions, True Religion.
To pick up something a little different explore the array of boutique craft shops, charming galleries and speciality shops in downtown historic Kissimmee. Every Thursday you can also catch the local Farmer’s Market that has a range of tantalising tempting baked treats!
Spa Treatments
Treat yourself to a spa treatment at one of Kissimmee’s leading spa salons. The Gaylord Palms’ onsite spa, Relache, is an oasis among the resort’s fine landscaped pavilion. You can simply lose yourself with Relache’s wellness facilities including the spa, sauna and fitness suite. Relache Spa is currently undergoing a hotly-anticipated redevelopment that will see its re-launch this autumn with the largest range of treatments in central Florida so guests can toy between even more signature massages, exotic revitalising treatments and body wraps.
Alternatively, head back to basics with a traditional treatment at Vivian’s Day Spa located in Old Town. Focusing on the traditional techniques of the spa’s beauticians, guests leave feeling rejuvenated with one of the spa’s specialised relaxation and therapeutic massage treatments.
Entertainment
As night sets in, be sure to visit some of the region’s energetic nightlife and entertainment. Start your evening with a lively dinner show - Medieval Times is a plentiful feast full of fun in true medieval style; while Capone’s is a twist on the Al Capone era of 1920s Chicago, or for those that enjoy an element of surprise, Sleuth’s Dinner Show is a murder mystery dinner with a difference!
Going out with the girls is always cause for celebration so why not head to the aptly named Celebration in Kissimmee? This picture-perfect neighbourhood has a fine selection of restaurants and bars, from elegant Mediterranean eateries such as Columbia Restaurant and premium Japanese joint Seito Sushi, to casual dining options Café D’Antonio and the Celebration Town Tavern.
Post dinner, enjoy a cocktail at Imperium Food and Drink or sip on a Guinness at Shannon’s Irish Restaurant and Bar before heading to Sun on the Beach in Old Town, Osceola’s largest legendary nightspot, where you can dance the night away…before starting all over again the following day!
