Luxury Villas in Africa

Moroccan Villas are called Riads. These are square buildings concealing a central, intricately tiled atrium around which all rooms are arranged. This configuration provides a wonderful cooling effect, keeping your luxury Riad cool in the hottest of summers. Locations popular with visitors are the cities of Fez, Marrakech, Cassablanca and Tangiers, as well as the costal resort of Essaouira. Recently, the more adventurous are heading to the luxury villas that can be found in the blue painted village of Chefchaouen in the Kif mountains.


Luxury Villas in the Caribbean

Close to mainland USA, The Caribbean is awash with luxury villas, but the term has been somewhat spoilt by operators misusing the word luxury. Some are distinctly substandard, so please do ensure you find yours through a trusted operator or from a personal recommendation. These islands all feature at least one decent luxury villa. Be aware that many luxury villas in the Carribean require a minimum week long stay in low season and a minimum 7 day stay in high season.

Many large Villas offer accomodation for Weddings.
Some Villas can handle up to 100 people, although most of the larger carribean villa rentals offer 8 to 10 bedrooms in beachfront villas with the essential swimming pool of course.

Luxury Villa in FranceLuxury Villas in France

Southern France, and in particular the Cote d'Azur around Nice, Monte Carlo and Cannes is the home of the classic Mediterranean cliff top villa. There are hundreds of fantastic properties available for anything between a weekend and a whole season. You will find the most luxurious facilities, the most tasteful ornamentation and the most delicious food. The one problem for fashion followers is that areas fall in and out of favor and what was an 'in' villa destination one year can become passe the next. For those who don't care about such nonsense this means that while the availability of Luxury Villas in some resorts may be tight, you will find plenty of options in the next town along the coast.

Italian Villas

Around lake Lake Como in Lombardy are some of Europe's finest luxury villas. Many date from the 18th Century and were summer homes for Roman gentry escaping the capital's midsummer heat. As a result a decadent air of lazy opulence pervades. In short the Villas of Lombardy are a very classy destination. In addition, you will find excellent 5 star luxury villas in the italian regions of Amalfi, Tuscany, Chianti, Ischia, and Positano near Naples.

The UK equivalent of a Villa is a Country House and there are some absolute gems where you can play lord of the manor or king of the castle to your hearts desire. You will find ancient rooms, sweeping vistas and attentive but discreet uniformed staff who can provide you with the authentic experience of what life is like for the British nobility. No one area of the Kingdom is better than others, but there are definitely differences of atmosphere. In the South of England the appeal is 'Roses round the door' whereas the mountains of Scotland offer windswept natural majesty. The welsh hills are also worth visiting with some lovely smaller family seats (fewer that 12 bedrooms) decorated as they were kept in the 1930's available all year round.

Luxury Villas in Mallorca

We sometimes are too quick to dismiss the Spanish balearic islands as somewhat downmarket. The truth is that most of Mallorca (or is it Majorca?) is exquisite and high class five star accomodation on the island is rather splendid.

The wonderful inside outside bathrooms are a particularly good idea for places where the temperature hovers around 80 degrees for almost all of the year. Dhoni Mighili is a famous maldive resort with great luxury accomodation including water bungalows.


Luxury Villas in the Middle East

Dubai has the world's most modern, purpose built sleek chic villas. However, we suggest you avoid the height of summer when it really does get too hot for all but the most avid sun worshipper. Of course all the villas in the middle east come with air conditioning, although the contents of the mini bar accords with local custom and practice.
