A villa vacation is your passport to a world of tropical luxury and
seclusion. Each hand-selected villa is tastefully appointed in
the elegant yet relaxed décor of a tropical getaway and carries
amenities befitting of an indulgent resort. From multiple staff members
to simply a chef or no staff at all, villa guests can choose to be pampered or left to complete privacy.

Test drive the dream life!

From one bedroom beach bungalows to seven bedrooms historic plantations, a villa vacation offers something for every type of traveler. The luxury villas available in Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Mexico offer all the ingredients for guests to be as active or as relaxed as desired. Equipped with such elaborate amenities as in-home movie theaters, state-of the art fitness centers, top shelf electronics, and watersports equipment ranging from the newest jet-skis to private sailboats, a villa vacation is a perfect opportunity to test drive the dream life.

If style carries any weight of importance in deciding which villa to visit, the increasing popularity of private home rentals ensures that there are decors to suit even the most discerning of tastes. With custom upholstery in Ralph Lauren’s most classic lines to Frette Linens in every bedroom, a luxury villa is the perfect homecoming from a day on the sand and surf. Many famous architects have had a hand in the design aesthetics of the most popular properties. Deborah Berke’s expert design knowledge is evident in every corner of Villa Cerulean, located on the island of Anguilla. The property is a favorite among celebrities for its modern take on island living. With high ceilings, French doors, and verandahs positioned to take advantage of the breathtaking sights of Barnes Bay, Villa Cerulean is a sure fit for anyone seeking classic Caribbean relaxation.

While some venture on a villa vacation for the home-away-from-home experience, others want the private resort savoir faire that is usually afforded only to the world’s wealthiest celebrities. With a scattering of villas located on private islands, a modern day “Fantasy Island” is only a phone call away. Musha Cay bills itself as “The Most Luxurious Private Island Resort in the World” and I am one to agree that it lives up the title. Musha Cay is location on one of the Bahamas 700 islands. The island consists of a mere 150 acres that feature exclusive accommodations for 2 to 24.

Be pampered by your own private staff!

A villa vacation encompasses the concept of total vacation design. From the staff, to the feasts, to the who, what, when, and where, luxury villa vacations are fully customized for each guest. The private homes are available empty or staffed. Only in the islands of the Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are even the smallest of properties staffed, this being a reflection of the islands colonial past. The common assembly of staff includes a maid, chef, butler, gardener, and grounds keeper. Supplementary staff can be arranged a-la-carte including nannies, masseurs, security, and tour guides.

Villa staff members are hand-picked and personally trained by some of the best in the service industry. Attention is paid to even the smallest of details. Staff welcome the idea of pre-stocking the gourmet kitchens with your favorite drinks and noshes. From imported beer to caviar whatever makes the vacation more your own is an option.
