Villa resorts stand mid-way between a villa and a hotel and offer a perfect compromise if you would like to cater for yourself yet enjoy the advantages and social atmosphere of a hotel. You get seclusion in your own space, often with a private pool, but you are still within the grounds of a resort, with all its sports, activities, bars and dining rooms.

Villa resorts vary in style. Some are a collection of privately owned properties on an island or estate that share management. Others are purpose built, often constructed to a common plan - almost like a hotel in which the ‘rooms’ are villas scattered around the grounds. These are then usually sold to individuals, who decorate them independently, according to their own taste. Of course, still more villa resorts have a hotel component with rooms in blocks as well as the villas.

There are not as many villa resorts as hotels or villas around the Caribbean, but if you would like to stay in a villa within a resort or complex there are THREE WAYS TO SEARCH - if you know the resort’s name and want to find out more, use the Keyword/Villa Resort name Search.

Each villa resort profile will give a description and the resort’s key features with a short review . If you wish to travel independently it enables you to book direct, but if you want to book a flight inclusive package, it will show you which tour operators/travel organisers feature the villa in their programmes.
