Holidaying As A Family – Deciding On A Villa Holiday

*Advertorial Feature*

With me heading off on holiday shortly with the rest of my family, you may have guessed that  I am always looking for family friendly holiday ideas with location, accommodation and activities that will suit each one of us. Something that has been suggested to us on numerous occasions is booking a villa to stay in because there are so many benefits – and I must admit the thought is very tempting.

Trying to find the perfect place for us to stay can certainly be difficult sometimes but this is where companies such as Villa Finder come in. They started in 2012 and have over 1.000 villas in beautiful locations such as Bali, Phuket, Mauritius and many more. They inspect all villas before listing them online and each villa has frequent reinspections to ensure service and maintenance is consistent. If staying in a villa with your family is something you’ve seriously considered, why not find a villa in Seminyak for your family trip?

Something else that Villa Finder does fantastically is the personal touch. When someone is on the website and is considering booking a villa, they can place a request for it. Then they will personally be contacted by one of the travel consultants from the team who will help the customer to find the perfect accommodation by asking various questions. There is also the Concierge team who arrange the stay after the booking has been made – these can arrange airport pickups, tours, special dinners and this personal touch is always nice to see from a company. Instead of the client having to spend ages researching different service providers whilst on holiday, they simply let the Concierge team know and they’ll arrange it – and payment goes to the service providers, not the company. This is something I would certainly take advantage of – everyone knows how stressful it can be booking activities or trips that the whole family will enjoy, especially when you are trying to book them whilst you are already on holiday. Having that work taken out of the equation for you? Bliss.

I love when a company is so customer orientated. You’d expect all companies to care about their customers but sadly this isn’t always the case so finding on that really really does care about their customers leaving them feeling valued and respected is an absolute joy!  

As a hard working mum, what I want is to arrange a holiday for my family that we will all enjoy without any of the stress – a company like this who can do it for me with the personal touch is something I certainly need and they understand that, with plenty of their customers being families. Just having someone that I can bounce ideas off is great. I also recently found out that they care about the environment too and believe in giving back For every booking, they are planting a tree in Sumatra in Indonesia.. This is fantastic and I love seeing companies be so environmentally friendly.

I must admit villas have never factored into my holiday plans before but the more I think about them, the more I am tempted. There are just so many benefits – privacy being the main one – how fantastic would it be not to have to share stuff with other guests. There is also the possibility of a fab unique experience and there is plenty more space to enjoy, unlike a hotel room.

The price of a villa is comparable to a hotel but without any of the food and beverage bills from the mini bars or the restaurant or bars within the hotel. You can also have a personalised service plan, arranged for you according to your needs. Even as I write this, a villa seems more and tempting – doesn’t it seem tempting to you?

Whilst I’m already heading off for my family holiday soon, a villa holiday may certainly be on the cards for our next trip. The problem is choosing where to go and what activities to do – that’s where I will be asking Villa Finder to help me find the best place to go with the best things to do.

Have you ever stayed in a villa on holiday?
