A Spanish getaway can’t help but be amazing – constant sunshine, relaxing beaches, delicious tapas. But if you’re bringing your family along, choosing where to stay can make or break the trip. No wonder UK travellers are increasingly opting for luxury villas over hotels. With more space, flexibility, and better value for groups, a private villa gives you the freedom to truly unwind and be yourself – Spain will feel like your second home.
Your own space, your own pace
Say goodbye to cramped hotel rooms or sharing the pool with strangers. With a villa, everyone gets their own bedroom. And the private gardens, swimming pools, and other common areas make it ideal for kids to run around, or for older members of the family to engage in relaxing activities without travelling into a town centre. Take a late-night swim. Or have a quiet morning coffee on the terrace. It’s totally up to you.
Self-catered alfresco dining, every night
Holiday mealtimes are so much easier in a villa. Many villas in Spain come fully equipped with modern kitchens and open-plan dining areas. You can browse the local markets for fresh ingredients, cook when you want in accordance with your own dietary needs, and dine where you like. Have a BBQ by the pool for the entire family. Or have an intimate candlelit dinner for two on the terrace. You could even hire a private chef for the ultimate authentic meal experience.
Live like a local and see the real Spain
Hotels are usually in the centre of tourist areas. But if you stay in a villa, you’ll be closer to quiet beaches, rural villages and other small towns, and the independent shops and markets frequented by locals. It’s a chance to explore Spanish culture at your own pace – away from busy resort crowds and overpriced tourist traps.
Share the space, split the cost
A luxury villa is not as expensive as it might sound. If you share it between a group, the per-night cost is usually lower than booking multiple hotel rooms. Plus, you get more privacy, a lot more space, and a higher standard of accommodation.
The smart way for families to see Spain
If you’re visiting Spain with the family, a luxury villa is more than just a luxury. It’s an incredibly cost-effective way to get freedom, comfort, and experience the authentic Spanish lifestyle while spending quality holiday time together.
