The best villas around the world for ultimate luxury & privacy

“Luxury must be comfortable; otherwise it is not luxury.”

– Coco Chanel

A stay in a star-class hotel sounds good and all, but what’s better is a luxurious home all to yourself. A stay in one of these best villas around the world will do the trick.

Whenever you decide to travel, the first thing that pops into your mind is; having a good place to stay. And having a proper place to get a good rest can make or break a trip.

Why should you choose a luxury villa over a hotel?

There was a time when travellers craved the whole luxury hotel scene. However, holidays focus more on carefree holidays with privacy, wellness, and liberty.

So, it’s no surprise that these luxury villas for rent tempt travellers with some of the most stunning locations, private beaches, and more!

By the same token, if you’re looking for a place to escape the crowds, bland buffets and the busy environment of a hotel, these reasons will show you why you should choose a luxury villa over a hotel.

The privacy is unmatched

The privacy offered at a villa is not found in 5-star hotels as the whole property of the villa is all to yourself. That guarantees you peace and serenity. 

The prices are unmatched

If you’re travelling with a group, a family or even with your significant other, you’ll soon learn that the rates of villas are often more affordable than a 5-star hotel. And things get even better with facilities, like a full kitchen, laundry, and other amenities like a private swimming pool and gym. Not to mention that you’ll also save big on expensive charges, meals, and activities.

Fantastic destinations

Usually, villas boast incredible more secluded locations than hotels. From beachfront properties, incredible jungle escapes and serene lakeside properties. And nothing beats having the place all to yourself! 

Very spacious

Villas offer a quintessential sense of space, with open kitchens, living rooms, and professionally created outdoor pavilions. However, you are confined to the space of your room, the lobby and the pool. 

Unmatched customisation

Staying in a luxury villa means being able to enjoy a holiday that’s bespoke to you. And the level of personalisation at a villa compared to a hotel stay simply cannot be unmatched. 

Basically, you can completely tailor your stay to your preferences. Who wouldn’t love that?


The world’s most beautiful villas

There are plenty of holiday homes or villas worldwide; however, only a few can compete with each other. Each villa has its perks; they offer complete privacy and facilities that you won’t find anywhere else. 

After all, staying in a luxurious house at a legendary destination. With modern facilities, premium services, and not to mention, privacy! All created to deliver you with the comfort you truly deserve!
