Let’s face it, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to holiday accommodation, or they simply are not aware of the other options that are available. Hiring your own private luxury villa, being one of them. Let’s take a look at the Benefits of Staying in a Villa vs. Hotel
Imagine the whole pool to yourself with no strangers around you to disturb you, or make you feel awkward wearing that new bikini. Spending unforgettable moments with your close family and friends enjoying a poolside cocktail with meals cooked by your own private chef, surrounded by stunning views and ultimate privacy. Sound lush?
Total Privacy
You will have the whole villa to itself including swimming pool, kitchen and living area. Sometimes even a games room, cinema and private gym depending on the property you book. You can make as much noise as you like or relax in a peaceful setting. Its totally up to you. There are no restrictions or times to use the amenities, and yes – you can have a drink in the pool.
Private Chef
Most villas have the option to hire a private chef who can prepare your meals for you. Breakfast is often included in the nightly rate. Unlike hotels which usually have set meal times, at a villa you can schedule your meals as to when you would like them and also provide any dietary requirements/restrictions. Not to mention, you can control your diet with healthy options if you would like, as opposed to stuffing your face at the hotel buffet.
Extra Space
Imagine your villa being your home away from home. You will have your own kitchen, living and dining areas. Not to mention, lawn space and outdoor areas to enjoy privately.
Shopping Service
Most villas will provide a grocery shopping service. If you need any drinks or food from the store, the staff will be happy to help, so you don’t have to worry and can enjoy your time spent in the villa.
Unique Designs
Each villa is individually designed with personal touches making each property unique. Unlike a hotel, where all the rooms are the same and must adhere to the style guided by large hotel chains, a luxury villa rental will have its own distinctive style and character. Whether you prefer a traditional Thai style villa or something more contemporary, the choices are endless
Great For Big Groups
Whether you are travelling with your family or a big group of friends, staying in a villa is always a better option than staying in a hotel. Each guest will have their own bedroom and you can share all the communal areas together without any strangers around to cramp your style. You may choose a group of villas nearby each other, or one large property – some villas have up to 8 bedrooms.
Kid-Friendly
The kids can be kids. You won’t have to worry about them bothering other guests or getting lost in the hotel. In a villa, you can let them run around and play while keeping a close eye on them. Most villas have plenty of activities to keep them occupied, such as watersports, lawn games, pool activities and some villas even have a kid’s play room. A great benefit of staying in a villa vs. hotel.
Private Service
A great benefit of staying in a villa vs. hotel is the personalized service that you receive. Most private villas have a full team of staff, villa managers, butlers, housekeeping and maintenance. Hotels seem to have a lot of staff which changeover, and have to cater for many guests at one time. In a villa, you will be well taken care of throughout you stay on a more personal level. A
Great For Private Events
Whether you are planning a wedding, honeymoon or birthday, you can’t go wrong with a private luxury villa rental. Most villas have large entertainment areas and can provide staff to cater for events. Unlike having an event in a hotel with other hotel guests who hang around and gawk at the bride as she walks down the aisle, a villa can offer complete intimacy and privacy. Most villas offer the opportunity to host private health retreats where you can switch off from the world and detox in a luxury setting. Read about our Villa Wellness Retreats here.
Better Value
In some cases, a luxury villa rental can work out cheaper than staying in a hotel. If you manage to fill up all the rooms with a large group of people and you can spread the cost between you, you can end up saving money on your nightly stay.
Amazing Views
Most luxury villa rentals are situated in a location which offers amazing views with infinity edge pools, lush greenery and top notch facilities. Hotel rooms with a view usually cost much more than the standard room rate and are quite often booked out. By staying in a luxury villa rental, you are able to enjoy the views from all areas of the property.
