Magical Express
Next stop: your most memorable vacay ever! Set your sights on adventure when you “board” the 12-bedroom Magical Express villa in Villatel Village. Your destination is a luxury mega-mansion filled to the brim with bewitching amenities: a massive private pool and spa, movie theater, arcade games, personal gym, and—lucky you—even a custom casino room. For your youngest guests, there’s magic to be found in the trio of epic themed bedrooms, including one designed expressly for little wizards-in-training.
About the Resort: Minutes from Disney and Orlando's top attractions, this exceptional resort features 71 expansive, ultra-unique villas and estates, as well as incredible resort amenities—including a state-of-the-art Event & Conference Center, which plays host to exclusive programming, events, and classes, and can be reserved for private functions. Guests also receive complimentary access to a covered playground, sports courts, and a grand resort pool with a lazy river, water slide, and on-site dining.
Entrance/Great Room: An airy, high-ceilinged foyer greets you behind the front door, leading straight to a gorgeously appointed great room. Relax and reconnect with your guests in this stunning open-plan living area, which features plush sofas and chairs, high-end fixtures, and an oversized TV—all exuding clean and inviting Contemporary-style design.
Kitchen/Dining Room: Good times—and great food—are on the menu in this mansion’s gorgeous chef’s kitchen. Decked out with custom cabinetry in beautiful blue tones, stainless steel appliances, brushed brass fixtures, and oak floors, this open-plan space invites you to linger and nosh at the breakfast bar with seating. When it’s time for the main meal, step over to the long, elegant table for a memorable feast.
Pool & Patio: Surrounded in a fancy “Florida glass” screen for max privacy, your sun-and-fun oasis is the massive 15-by-40-foot pool just outside the backdoor. Stretch out in one of the many loungers (both poolside and in the pool), or soak blissfully in the spillover spa. Get active with pool basketball, ping-pong, or foosball, and watch the kids whoosh down the mini waterslide. Make it an all-day pool party complete with alfresco meals whipped up in the fabulous summer kitchen, complete with a built-in grill and shaded lanai seating.
Arcade Room: Rinse off in the outdoor shower—and head back inside to check out your very own arcade room. This nostalgic recreation space includes some of your joystick favorites, from Pac-Man to air hockey.
Casino Room: You better pray for some magic to unfold when you open the door to the garage that’s been transformed from floor-to-ceiling into a unique casino room, perfect for lovers of blackjack and roulette. Complete with game tables, sophisticated lounge space, and a sports bar, this room will magnetize your guests with its caj-cool vibe.
Game Loft: The magic continues upstairs in the spacious game loft, where you can challenge your guests to darts, ring toss, wall Scrabble, or a rollicking game of billiards at the pool table.
Movie Theater: Dim the lights and get cozy with your crew in your very own private cinema. This one has rows of cinema-style reclining seats, an 86-inch screen, and surround-sound for an immersive experience. All you need is some popcorn and snacks.
Fitness Room: When you need to burn off all those vacation calories, your personal gym is at the ready. Take a spin on the stationary bike, a run on the treadmill, or lift weights. For extra motivation, turn on the smart TV and connect via app to a personal trainer session.
Themed Bedrooms: Three enchanting, over-the-top themed bedrooms—which double as playrooms—will charm your youngest guests.
On the first floor, they’ll be transported to a world of fantasy and wonder in the Wizarding Room—this home’s extra-special and spacious “12th bedroom.” The immersive space takes theming to a new level with life-sized wizards, vivid wall art, hidden “sleeper car” bunk beds, and lots more. The kids can imagine themselves riding a locomotive to a famed boarding school of witchcraft and wizardry in this haven that sleeps up to six kids.
Upstairs, the Gamer’s Hideout room teleports little ones into their favorite kids’ video games. In this colorful and whimsical space, they’ll join a few beloved animated characters as they explore hidden bunk-bed nooks, climb fanciful stairs, and zip down the twisty, bright green slide. Bedtime is easy for little gamers, who love to be tucked in here.
Next door, in the Desert Fantasy room, kids can imagine themselves on a remote yellow planet in a galaxy far away. Wall art features rolling sand dunes and scorched badlands; kid-size ladders and slides inspire creative play; and cozy bunk beds will have them dreaming of starship battles where the good guys always win.
Bedrooms (King, Queen, & Full): While the kids are having a blast, your grownup guests will feel properly pampered in their choice of nine beautiful bedrooms. Spread out between the first and second floors, your options include a lavish master queen bedroom (with its own walkout to the pool area), regular king bedrooms, and one bedroom with two full beds—all connected to private baths. Each of these sanctuaries is adorned in sleek and inviting Contemporary-style décor, with upscale furnishings and plush bedding.

Featured Villas
See all accommodation
Pool & spa heat is available for a daily add-on fee. Once heated, pool temperatures are set to reach 82-86 degrees Fahrenheit; spas are set to reach 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Depending on the weather, it can take up to 24 hours to heat the pool, so it is recommended that you reserve pool heat in advance of your stay if you’d like to add this service.
No, pool heat distributes heat to both the pool and the spa simultaneously; the spa will not be warm if pool heat isn’t turned on. Turn the manual timer on the lanai wall to turn on the spa jets and heat the spa up to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. When the jets are on, the heat will be directed toward the spa and away from the pool. Note that the spas are not “hot tubs”; they will not reach temperatures usually associated with hot tubs and cannot be heated on their own, separate from the pool.
‘Cold fronts’ in the winter months (i.e. temps below 60 degrees) can cause the pool equipment to stop functioning; this does not constitute mechanical failure and refunds for pool heat will not be issued.
Yes, every pool at Villatel Village features a spa.
Yes, all of our pools are equipped with a child-friendly safety gate between the lanai and the pool area.
To make sure you have the smoothest trip possible, we recommend renting a car after you arrive from any of the major car rental companies. It’s the quickest and easiest way to get to all of your Orlando vacation destinations, as well as shopping and restaurants. And the rental companies are located right inside the airport, so you don’t have to waste a minute on a shuttle.
Up to 5 cars are permitted per reservation.
If you’ve reserved a 6-bedroom villa, you can park 2-3 standard size cars in the driveway. 11- and 12- bedroom units fit up to 5 standard size cars in the driveway. If extra parking is needed, there are designated street parking spots throughout Solterra Resort (marked by white lines). These overflow spots are not located within the Villatel Village neighborhood of the resort; they are ~.5 - 1 mile away. Cars parked on the grass or blocking a driveway/sidewalk will be towed. Every car MUST obtain a parking pass upon entry into the community from the front gate and always display it on their dashboard. RVs, large vans, tractors, and buses are not permitted inside the resort.
Please place bagged trash in the bin outside your villa for collection. Pick-up begins as early as 6am, so please plan accordingly for same-day pick-ups. Loose trash will not be picked up; please ensure all trash is bagged and properly tied up.
