Wekiva Island is one of my favorite chill spots in Orlando! Actually, it’s in Longwood: located at 1014 Miami Springs Dr. Longwood, Fl 32779. Open daily from 8am-7pm Sun-Thurs. & 8am-11pm Fri-Sat. This is a no frills, just fun, kind of place. It’s a perfect place to grab a cold beer and sit by the water! The indoor/outdoor bar (The Tooting Otter) has craft beers and wine. And on Friday’s and Saturday’s 7-10pm you can listen to live music.
If you happen to get hungry, they have a permanent food truck (Without a Paddle Cafe) that has a large selection of tasty food!
There is a $5 per person charge to enter on the weekends…and they can reach capacity. I’ve found, usually during the week I don’t have a problem getting in.
And If you want to make a day of it, you can rent a cabana! Canoe’s, kayak’s, and paddle boards are available to rent as well. For more information check out their website, HERE.
So if you’re looking for some serious Florida relaxation vibes, make sure to add this to your list!
2. The Acre
The Acre, located at 4421 Edgewater Dr. Orlando, 32804, is an indoor/outdoor event space that can be booked for various events….however, when they are not booked they are open to the public. This eclectic indoor/outdoor space welcomes its visitors to picnic and play in its various cozy nooks.
Here you can play lawn games, have some cocktails and small bites, watch a movie or listen to live music….depending on the day. On Sunday’s they open at 11am and feature a Creater’s Market and have live music. Click here to visit their website for more information and months schedule.
Did I mention, they have an adorable tequila truck for some adult beverages! They also have a bar with beer and wine as well as a small market. They have snacks, sodas, and ciabatta pizzas. We didn’t try the food, but it looked pretty good.
The Acre has several small buildings on-site to congregate in. My son found a small building with old pin-ball machines in it, which he played! These hidden spots make it feel very enchanting and cozy. Next time we go, I want to go in the evening when all the twinkle lights are on…so romantic.
3. The Neighbors Retail & Cocktail
The Neighbors is located at: 3201 Corrine Drive, Orlando, 32803 (upstairs at East End Market). You can find this little shop and cocktail bar open daily from 12-9pm (Tues. & Wed.) and 12-10pm, Thurs.-Monday. This fabulously relaxing spot has an all-day happy hour on Tuesday and Wednesday and 3-6pm Monday, Thursday and Friday.
This spot reminds me of a 90’s coffee house….I’m not sure why, but it gives me a throw-back vibe to my ‘younger free spirit’ era! And I love it…
After 5, they have an A la Carte menu from Danilo’s Pasta Bar. And even if you go before they serve any food, you can always go downstairs to the market for some tasty bites. This is an all-around chill spot that offers something for everybody. Take your time and enjoy yourself!
4. The Sunroom
The name ‘Sunroom’, says it all. Located in the Mills 50 District: 1315 N. Mills Ave., Orlando 32803. This is a bar straight out of an old Florida sunroom…. well that’s vibe I get.
Beautiful plants surround you in this sunny spot. And did I mention the terrazzo bar top?! Hello old Florida! This super relaxing spot is the perfect environment to give you the Florida life feels! And who doesn’t want that?!
This bar features tropical and bright flavored creations. Some of the delicious cocktail creations are Made In The Shade and Mockingbird. Sunroom is open Tues.-Thurs. 6pm-12am. Fri.-Sat. 5pm-2am.from And they have happy hour Tues.-Sat. until 8pm.
This last chill spot in Orlando is more of an honorable mention. It’s not a place you’re going to go and meetup with your friends, necessarily. But, when I think of chill and relaxing in Orlando, this place comes to mind….
5. The Beer Spa
The Beer Spa….it’s a spa with beer!..and wine. What’s more relaxing than that?! Click here to read about my relaxing experience.
