Why a villa works for the holidays
A villa lets a family or group celebrate in one place, with a chef cooking holiday dinners, a pool for children and room for everyone. Large groups often choose estate-scale villas in La Punta Estates, and families look at standalone villas in Ranchos Estates and Las Palmas.
What to confirm early
- Availability and minimum stay for the holiday weeks.
- Staff arrangements and hours during the holidays, including a chef.
- Whether a holiday dinner, decorations or a tree can be arranged.
- Golf cart, transfer and boat day arrangements.
- House rules for guests, noise and events.
Who this is not for
If you want a quiet beach with no crowds, holiday weeks are the busiest of the year. Consider early December or January instead.
