Florida has long been one of the most popular destinations for Passover vacations in the United States, and it's easy to understand why. Warm spring weather, beautiful beaches, family attractions and a wide choice of resorts make the Sunshine State an appealing place to spend Pesach.
For Passover 2027, families can explore programs in destinations such as Orlando, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and West Palm Beach. Each area offers something different, from beachfront hotels and golf resorts to properties near Orlando's famous theme parks.
Beyond the location, Passover programs take care of the holiday meals, Seders and other Pesach arrangements, giving families more time to relax and enjoy Yom Tov together. Kosher dining, children's activities, entertainment and resort amenities vary by program, so it's worth comparing the options before booking.
In this guide, we'll look at Florida's main Passover destinations and what makes each one worth considering for Pesach 2027.
What to Expect at a Florida Passover Program
One of the biggest advantages of spending Pesach at a Passover program is leaving the holiday preparations to someone else. Instead of spending weeks cleaning, shopping and cooking, families can arrive at their hotel and enjoy Yom Tov without the usual work.
Florida Passover programs typically include kosher-for-Passover meals, organized Seders, daily minyanim and shiurim. Many also offer children's programming, teen activities, evening entertainment and special dining options. The exact amenities and activities vary depending on the program.
And then there's the food! From traditional holiday favorites to elaborate buffets and desserts, dining is often a highlight of the experience.
