From the moment you arrive at this vibrant new elegant resort, you will experience a new kind of Orlando… one where stellar recreation is balanced by sophisticated style. Inspired architecturally by the grand palazzos of Italy, The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes will redefine the Orlando experience.
Located on 500 tropical acres known as Grande Lakes, The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Hotel is one of two properties that appear to rise up like an oasis out of the landscape. Architecturally inspired by the great palazzos of Italy, this property makes an elegant statement of form and design.
The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, Orlando, Grande Lakes provides golfers with an experience not typically found in Florida. The design, by two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman, blends a variety of hazards to provide a challenging but fair test of a golfer's abilities. Water hazards, strategic bunker placement and demanding greens result in an atmosphere reminiscent of a private course.
The line of play will feature closely mown turf to invite creativity, while the roughs will be kept short to enhance the enjoyment of the less accomplished golfer. Measuring over 7,100 yards, this 18-hole championship golf course rivals the best courses in the area and is enjoyable for golfers of every skill level.
A subtle bouquet of citrus drifts through the air, and all around you, the gentle spirit of the tropics prevails. At The Ritz-Carlton Spa at Grande Lakes Orlando, you will experience a relaxing retreat from the world outside, a place where the sense of touch can relax the spirit and refresh the soul. It will comprise more than 40,000 square feet, 40 different treatment rooms and a 4,000 square-foot private lap pool.
This premier spa will feature a full menu of health and beauty treatments – many of which draw from the essential benefits of the oranges, lemons and grapefruits that make up Florida's bounty. The Spa reflects Orlando's international orientation by offering specific therapies inspired by different nations and cultures, featuring "sanitas per aqua" or "health through water" which has continued as the foundation of the spa experience since ancient times.
The variety of treatments ensures that you can always experience something new in surroundings that are utterly timeless. From citrus body polishes, to orange-inspired manicures and pedicures, Florida’s famous fruit is the basis for many of the treatments at this 40,000-square-foot facility, which also has a lap pool, meditation room, fitness center and salon. Bindi, Thai and shiatsu massage are offered along with shirodhara and Javanese Lulur rituals. Kids and teens have their own menu, including treatments such as the Ritz Kids fizzing manicure and pedicure or kids massage. Fitness consultations and salon services are also available.
