VILLA HOLIDAYS IN SPAIN

Villa Holidays In Spain

Villa holidays are probably the most luxurious way of relaxing and enjoying the delights of Spain.  Once you've experienced a villa holiday, there's no turning back.  Imagine floating on a lilo in your own private pool, reading a book or just soaking up the sun. Picture a balmy starlit evening with the chicadas buzzing, a beautiful vine covered candlelit patio, with the table set ready for a sumptuous meal. Maybe a skinny dip at midnight or a relaxing card game with your family and friends, hotel California playing in the background.  Long lazy days on the sun lounger, a bacardi and coke or cold beer to hand, a leisurely stroll in the surrounding countryside and the prospect of another wonderful laid back meal later on.  This is what a villa holiday is all about. 

Best Location For Your Villa Holiday 

Choosing a good location is important if you want to get the most from your villa experience. A beautiful villa set in a remote location miles from the nearest town may suit some people but for most, the combination of a villa within walking distance of  bars and restaurants, shops and maybe a beach is important.  Some areas cater specifically for villa holidays.  Parts of Majorca including Pollensa and Valdemossa have many stunning villas located in some of the most beautiful scenery but only a short distance from the amenities of the towns.  Places like Marbella and Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol are also extremely popular and on the Costa Blanca, the areas around Javea, Denia and Moraira  combine up-market seaside towns with countryside villas.

Villa Prices

Villas don't come cheap but the current economic situation has forced prices down and if you're in the market for a villa holiday, this is probably the best time in years to find a bargain.  If you can get quite a large party together and find a villa sleeping eight or ten, the price per person can be very reasonable.
