Orlando International Airport is most likely going to be your best bet as far as airports to fly into when coming to The Villages. In fact thousands (…and that's no exaggeration!) of residents and visitors make the trip either to, or from, OIA every single day.
There are a few categories of travelers between The Villages and OIA.
Among them you have prospective buyers coming in to check out the community and others nearby, Villagers flying out to visit family members, and family members flying in to visit Villagers.
This map shows the route you, or your driver will most likely take:
Driving Yourself
The easiest way to get to and from the airport might be to drive yourself. If you are visiting The Villages for the first time, you can rent a car from any of the rental car companies located right in the airport. The drive is not complicated and should take you around 60-70 minutes.
If, like so many first time visitors, you are taking advantage of the Lifestyle Preview Plan, the address you’ll want to program into your car’s GPS or your favorite navigation app on your phone is 2705 West Torch Lake Drive, The Villages, FL 32163. That’s the address of the Brownwood Paddock Square Sales and Information Center where you’ll check in for your stay.
Coming out of the airport’s North exit you will head west on Florida 528, then get on the Florida Turnpike heading North. Stay on that for just over 50 miles, take exit 304 for Wildwood, and follow your phone or car’s navigation from there.
But if you’d rather not drive, there is another option available.
