What is a private villa?
A private villa is a property that is privately owned and available for you to use during your holiday.
When you book a private villa with Inspiring Travel, we'll take care of all the arrangements with the villa owner or their representatives. Once you've made your booking with one of our Travel Specialists, our concierge team will be personally available to you to make any further reservations - such as securing private chefs, spa and wellness therapists and personal trainers, or any other services you'd like. Some villas may also have their own concierge team, who will be there to assist you during your stay.
Just as we would for one of our luxury hotel holidays, we can also arrange any external experiences in your destination or reservations for nearby restaurants.
What is an in-resort villa?
An in-resort villa is a villa that is part of a wider resort.
Our featured resort villas are set within many of our most prestigious hotel resorts, offering a perfect base for those who want additional services and facilities just a short walk away (such as hotel restaurants, spas, sports facilities and kids' clubs) while still enjoying some extra space and privacy.
Many resort villas offer additional services compared to their hotel rooms, such as butlers, concierges, chefs and housekeepers.
What amenities do luxury villas typically offer?
Each of our luxury villas differs in the exact amenities and facilities offered, but many include features such as:
- Private swimming pools
- Home cinemas
- Gyms and wellness facilities
- Staff such as private chefs and housekeepers
- Concierge or butler service
- Direct beach access
- Wine cellars
If there is a particular amenity you'd like at your villa or residence, simply let your Travel Specialist know, and they'll find a property that suits your needs.
How do I book a luxury villa?
You can book a luxury villa with one of our Travel Specialists. They'll take care of all arrangements on your behalf, including your flights, transfers and anything else you may need.
Can I customise my villa experience?
At Inspiring Travel, we're here to customise your villa experience exactly to your needs. You'll be able to contact your personal concierge at any time, who can secure any extras such as excursions outside the villa, additional services inside your villa or make spa and restaurant reservations for you.
We tailor-make every holiday to be entirely bespoke - so, if there is something you'd like to add to your holiday, or if you'd like to arrange a special celebration during your stay, just let your Travel Specialist know.
Are the villas family-friendly?
Our portfolio includes a range of villas of different sizes, and with different bedroom configurations, to suit the needs of those travelling with children. Your concierge can also ensure any children's amenities are provided for you in advance, so you needn't worry during your holiday.
When you travel with us, you'll also recieve airport lounge passes and meet-and-greet service at all UK airports where available. Plus, we'll ensure your private transfer is ready and waiting for you when you arrive, and is fully suitable for your children - so, you can simply relax and enjoy your time away together.
If you need help finding a villa that suits your family best, our team are happy to make bespoke recommendations.
Do the villas come with staff or concierge services?
Our villas each come with their own staff and concierge services, which differ depending on the property.
If you'd like more information on what staff are available at your chosen property, contact one of our Travel Specialists. If you'd like additional staff, our team may be able to arrange this for you, depending on your villa location.
Can I host events or weddings at the villas?
We'd be delighted to help you host a special occasion, such as a wedding or birthday party, at your villa.
Our team of Travel Specialists are experts at creating unforgettable moments, and can help arrange private chefs, wedding planners and entertainment at your villa.
