From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Salamander At Encantada Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.

Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Salamander At Encantada Resort belongs to the stretch of Central Florida that opens up west of I-4’s Disney exits, in the Davenport and Clermont area. It is one of those retreats where the theme parks stay only minutes away while the crowds do not follow you home, so the day can hold a morning at the gates and an evening that feels calm and unhurried. The surrounding roads fill with golf resorts and rental villas rather than traffic, which is part of why so numerous arriving groups choose to base themselves out here.
Two names anchor the neighborhood: ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort, both known for their golf and their spread of villa stays. Guests who settle in near Salamander At Encantada Resort tend to fold these into a simple itinerary once they are ashore, treating the whole zone as a single relaxed playground. If a round of golf or a quiet villa afternoon appeals more than another long line, the setting delivers it without asking you to drive far.
Nature sits close by as well. The Clermont chain of lakes threads through the region, and Lake Louisa State Park gives the area room to breathe with open water and trails. Between the parks to the east and the lakes to the west, Salamander At Encantada Resort lands travelers in a pocket that balances the hectic and the quiet. You arrive to a place built for both, dropped right at the streets around your stay rather than a distant lot.
The journey is one direct leg from the cruise terminal to Salamander At Encantada Resort. Your chauffeur meets your group at the curb of your own terminal, loads the bags, and pulls out toward Florida’s Turnpike. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the pace of customs and the luggage hall never costs you the ride within the free waiting time, and there is no shared vehicle to wait on. It is your group alone in the car the whole way.
From the port it runs roughly 236.7 miles to the Davenport and Clermont area, and the drive normally takes 243 to 252 minutes over the Turnpike. Traffic on that route is the only real variable, which is why the timing is planned around the ship rather than cut to the minute. Bags ride with you, the fare is locked at booking, and drop-off covers the streets right around your stay.
