Evermore Orlando Resort, the luxury vacation rental destination bordering Walt Disney World, and Conrad Orlando the latest addition to Conrad Hotels & Resorts contemporary luxury hotel brand, announced they are now accepting reservations for stays beginning from February 5, 2024.


Developed by Dart Interests, the 1,100-acre resort complex is located with close proximity to Walt Disney World Resort and the wider theme park area.. Newly built from the ground up, the Evermore resort complex is a comprehensive redevelopment of the former Villas of Grand Cypress Golf Resort. 

“We designed Evermore to introduce an entirely new hospitality category that will forever change the landscape of luxury vacation rental homes. Evermore offers a vastly superior short-term rental experience by solving the inconsistency problems of renting someone’s personal home while also providing hotel-like service and security,” said Christopher Kelsey, President of Dart Interests. “Evermore is Orlando’s only true destination resort worthy of a vacation even without a trip to the theme parks. Within the resort, we have created whole neighborhoods of resort-owned, purpose-built vacation rental homes in concert with a true luxury hotel to provide high-quality, bespoke experiences for all sizes and types of groups from couples to large conferences, particularly including multi-family and multi-generational vacations.”

Evermore’s reservation booking system allows guests to easily imagine their large party in their desired accommodation with a ‘Heads in Beds’ visualization tool, split payments with other guests in their party, and independently manage their unit guest list. The technology also allows the non-booking members of the travel party to get involved as much or as little as they would like. The burden is no longer solely on the travel planner.

Evermore will open with nearly 1,500 bedrooms spread among a variety of stay experiences. The resort property will open with 69 houses ranging in size from five to eleven bedrooms, 206 four-bedroom flats, and 41 two and four-bedroom villas.

Conrad Orlando will offer luxury accommodations with 433 rooms, including 51 suites and 10 family suites. Additional amenities include 40,000 square feet of indoor meeting space, a spa with an outdoor water garden, a private pool area with splash pad, private cabanas, fitness center, arrival/departure lounge and numerous dining options, including a signature rooftop experience.

“As we prepare to open Conrad Orlando later this year, we are excited to debut the Conrad brand and evolve our offerings in one of the most sought-after destinations,” said Danny Hughes, Executive Vice President and President, Americas, Hilton. “Conrad Orlando’s exceptional service paired with the wide range of amenities at Evermore Orlando Resort will provide our guests with an unforgettable experience.”

Guests staying at Evermore and Conrad Orlando will enjoy an expansive 20-acre tropical beach complex surrounding Evermore Bay, an 8-acre crystalline water amenity by Crystal Lagoons that creates ideal conditions for guests of all ages to enjoy the water year-round. The surrounding beach areas will feature zero entry swim areas, bars, cabanas, private fire-pits and an aquatic adventure area with a waterslide, rope swing and watersports of all kinds. Other amenities will include a lively food hall and gourmet market, a casual resort restaurant featuring views overlooking both the golf course and bay and a two-story Boathouse that will serve weddings and private events. The famed Scottish Links Course, Jack Nicklaus’ signature 18-hole Grand Cypress golf course will continue to challenge golf enthusiasts along with a newly reconfigured 18-hole Nicklaus Design course that will open with the resort and continue to pay homage to the legacy of golf excellence at Grand Cypress.

The entire resort complex will offer event professionals over 150,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor event, with Conrad Orlando offering over 65,000 square feet of event space, including 19 meeting rooms. Whether looking for a conference room, ballroom or an outdoor location, the resort offers many options for meeting and event planners. The Boathouse and garden lawn nestled on the bay’s edge will provide a sophisticated Orlando wedding and event locale with a classic Chris-Craft boat for private use. The resort, in partnership with Siemens, offers 11 custom branded VersiCharge Ultra DC fast Electric Vehicle charging stations across the property.

Reservations for vacation rental accommodations can be made directly on Evermore Orlando Resort’s website at evermoreresort.com. Reservations for stays at Conrad Orlando can be made at conradorlando.com.

sounds like it will give WDW Some competition --hope it does and Disney gets off their a$$ and does something to bring the magic back and not just raise prices.

Ah ok

TarzanRocked99-Mar 04, 2024

Nah, it’s on 535 to the east of Disney property. Closest to Golden Oak for reference.

GhostHost1000Mar 04, 2024

is this the one you can see part of from the animal kingdom lodge resort area?

I read that as well. And at first, I thought that seemed like a underserved market to be sure. I just don't know how big that market is. It seems like most studies/demographic trends show families getting smaller, not larger. I know some families with more than 2 kids sure, but they are certainly in the minority. And i also don't know how many families now do big extended family/large family trips for over a week. Anecdotal to be sure, but while we would love to take these types of trips, trying to find time when everyone's work, school, sport, ect schedules line up to allow for such a trip has been next to impossible for us once kids got to full time school age. It just seems like a big property for a market that doesn't appear to be so big, at least domestically. Maybe it fits a more European/International traveler who is coming to US and taking 2-3 weeks at a time to do so?

Agree on many of your points for sure. I do remember reading that the villas portion of the resort was really trying to grab that family of 4 and up demo looking to stay for over a week, which would in theory give you time at the parks and the resort itself. Not sure what the prices are but I would imagine it would a cheaper option then a Deluxe resort on property if you have a large family gathering.

This project/property has always struck me as too "in between" to really be a something to drive people to Orlando. I mean it does seem to have some nice amenities and features. But if i am bringing young kids down to Orlando to do the parks, I am not going to be at the resort utilizing those amenities. If I am looking to save money for a Disney trip by staying off property, there are many more cheaper options. Maybe not with as many amenities (although Marriot World is awfully nice) but if cost savings is my goal, those hotels win out over this location. And if the resort/beach/relaxation vacation is what I am shooting for, then as others have posted, there are actual beach resorts that you could choose over this property. With the Brightline train running, a split Ft. Lauderdale/Miami/Hollywood trips seem like they could be an interesting time. Summary, it seems like this property has alot of things that are really good, but not a single thing that you can say is the best option. If you're looking for staying in bubble, or proximity to the park as your driving force, on property resorts win. If you're looking at cost, cheaper off property locations win. If you're looking for a relaxing all-inclusive type stay, and parks aren't your driving vacation goal, there are other locations that do it better, and you are not paying the premium or having to travel to Orlando to deal with all the WDW vacationers. I just don't know what the market is for the travelers who are looking to do everything at the same time. Seems hard on the standard US week at a time vacation model.

It looks very nice. I'm sure a lot of people will try it out.

Horizons '83Mar 04, 2024

I think the idea was that it could be the perk that drives people to Orlando if they are looking to do theme parks, but also a beach like resort. While nothing compares to the real deal, this resort really has everything; golf, tennis, proximity to theme parks, the lagoon/beach, a good number of restaurants, etc.

pigglewiggleMar 02, 2024

This looks nice, but it isn't for us. I wouldn't travel to Florida to book a vacation home with a fake beach. I would prefer to actually go to a beach. Also, I don't know 27 people who would travel with us. ;)

Horizons '83Mar 02, 2024

Been reading that the Conrad is having some issues but would assume they are just new and will work them out.
