While the 5-star hotel is still the luxury experience that we all crave, we are also finding that our clients are looking for new, ultra-personalized experiences that allow for even more relaxation, a deeper focus on wellness, and a greater sense of independence and privacy. The solution is a luxury villa vacation.
Many people hear, “We rented a villa in the Caribbean/Tuscany/etc. for our vacation,” and they think cha-ching $$$! But that may not be the case. Villa vacations can be great alternatives for several types of travelers, adding extra value and convenience to their trips! Villas are great options for multi-generational families, a group of several families with kids, or a group of friends celebrating a special occasion. Basically, you should consider a villa vacation anytime you need 2 or more bedrooms.
Our top villa choices offer exotic locations, private beach access, and personal chefs. When you stay at a villa, you have the whole property to yourself; think of guaranteed peace and serenity. It’s so nice to experience the exclusivity of your own residence. You can choose a cozy 1 or 2-bedroom option for an intimate getaway or a 5+ bedroom mansion to host all of your friends and family. Most of our favorite villas come with a full staff, including a private chef, butler, and maid, so your every need can be met with as little stress or worry as possible.
Booking a luxury villa ensures you can travel to the beat of your own drum. Looking to work out? Find a villa with a state-of-the-art gym. Traveling to unwind? Choose a secluded location with an en-suite spa or outdoor bathtub/shower. Booking a family trip? Choose something with bunk beds, game rooms, and a cinema.
