If you had to design the perfect Passover retreat for a discerning, kosher-keeping family — one that balances tradition and luxury, prayer and play, reverence and rest — you’d be hard-pressed to dream up anything finer than Kosherica’s 2026 Passover Program at the newly reimagined Saddlebrook Resort.
Tucked beneath the sun-drenched skies of Tampa, Florida, and following a dazzling $92 million renovation, Saddlebrook now offers an experience of rare refinement. Imagine this: nearly every room is an elegant suite, giving your family space to stretch, rest, and prepare for beautiful, memory-making days. The grounds are lush, manicured, and thoughtfully designed for both large gatherings and quiet escapes — whether you’re walking back from morning minyan or slipping away to the spa.
Golfers, Rejoice — and Bring the Whole Family
Let’s be honest: some come to Saddlebrook for the golf. With two championship courses designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, this is where serious players come to swing. But Kosherica makes sure that while the daddies (and mommies too) chase the perfect drive, the rest of the family is utterly delighted.
From toddlers to teens, the on-site day camps are designed for wonder, connection, and joy — led by passionate counselors who make it their mission to ensure your children beg to stay just a little longer. Teens form friendships that often last long past the week. Meanwhile, spouses and siblings alike can take a dip in the famous 500,000-gallon superpool, enjoy a match on one of the 45 tennis courts, or glide off to the spa for some well-deserved pampering. Saddlebrook even offers a high-adrenaline team-building course for those looking to climb, leap, or zip-line their way into Pesach memories.
Culinary Joy, Kosher Without Compromise
Of course, this is Passover. And at the heart of every table, tradition matters.
Kosherica’s celebrated team of Glatt Kosher chefs has once again partnered with top-tier caterers to deliver meals that astound — not just by Passover standards, but by any standard. Whether you lean vegetarian, pescatarian, or are simply a lover of extraordinary food, you’ll be spoiled for choice. From handcrafted breakfasts to lavish tea rooms, afternoon barbecues to refined Seder banquets, every bite is prepared with meticulous care under the highest level of kashrut.
You’ll find every craving met: sweet, savory, rich, clean — and all beautifully plated with the care and respect that only Kosherica seems to consistently master. (Breatharians may have to sit this one out — but even they might be tempted.)
A Celebration of Spirit
What elevates the Saddlebrook experience is more than scenery or menus. It’s the soul of the program.
Each day offers soulful lectures and dynamic shiurim by beloved scholars and rabbinical teachers. Whether you’re exploring timeless teachings or fresh perspectives, there’s an unmistakable aura of inspiration here. Davening is spirited and heartfelt, often led by some of the most gifted voices and minds in the Jewish world.
And of course, there’s entertainment. Kosherica’s lineup of musicians, performers, mentalists, and surprise guests ensures that the nights shimmer with laughter, awe, and celebration. No one is left out — not the dreamers, not the thinkers, not the dancers, not the deeply devout.
Come As You Are. Leave Transformed.
For many families, Kosherica’s Saddlebrook Passover is more than a vacation — it’s a tradition. A sanctuary. A moment in time where elegance and holiness meet under the Florida sun.
So whether you’re drawn by the golf, the gourmet food, the scholarship, or the shimmering sense of togetherness, this year promises something rare: a Passover where everyone — from the littlest child to the eldest grandparent — feels seen, nourished, and utterly at home.
