A luxury villa in a resort promises the best of both worlds. You’ll still have the seclusion and privacy of your own villa, plus the added perk of resort amenities right on your doorstep.
That could mean anything from luxurious spa facilities for those rejuvenating treatments to on-site tour operators to help you plan adventure-packed outings with the kids. It could mean having designer boutique shopping at your fingertips, a private 18-hole golf course steps from your villa, or refined gastronomy to keep the taste buds tingling from check-in to check-out.
The Italian lakes are a known hotspot for in-resort villa rentals. They offer grand 18th-century residences that spill straight down to the glistening waters of Lake Como or Lake Garda. If you wish, you can keep to yourself, lazing on your private terrace, gazing at the Alps. Or, you can make the most of what the resorts have to offer – think windsurfing via Ferrata hiking routes, horse riding through the countryside, and dining in traditional pizza joints.
The sun-splashed Costa del Sol is also worth a mention. The region bursts with resort complexes that offer high-class villas as part of the package. Stay near the glitzy marinas of Marbella and beyond to get access to in-house fitness centres and golf courses that unfold along the wild Andalusian sierras above the Med.
For travellers looking for a taste of the balmy tropics, we’ve got luxury in-resort villa retreats that beckon beside the wispy white sands of the Caribbean or the Asia Pacific islands. Destinations like Turks & Caicos, Bali and The Maldives are top options if you’ve got the kids in tow, as these resorts offer snorkelling excursions to meet the local manta rays, islands treasure hunts, or SUP lessons on the sparkling seas.
The overarching allure of a luxury villa in a resort is that you can enjoy the peace and solitude of your own property but still have the convenience of resort facilities. That makes them a top choice for foodies who like to eat out, couples who want to plan romantic excursions together, families keen to keep the little ones busy, golfers wanting on-demand tee times – the list goes on.
