There's nothing like a home away from home when you're on holiday, and while it's nice to enjoy the luxuries of a hotel, with treats like room service, room cleaning and a turn down service, it's lovely to feel more at home, which is why villa holidays have become so popular as an alternative type of holiday and are perfect for yours in 2025 and 2026.
From budget villas with just one bedroom, to three or four bedroom homes with private swimming pools, terraces, barbeques and much more, a villa holiday offers added extras you just wouldn't get when staying at a hotel or apartment.
When booking a villa, always check to see where it is located and how accessible it is to shops, bars and restaurants. You may find you need a car to be able to access the local supermarket, and as you'll be self catering, this is important.
Some villa holiday companies like Jet2Villas may offer package deals, which include your flights, villa and car hire. This can sometimes save you a bundle of cash so check for the latest deals.
The key thing to expect, however, is the freedom you have to do what you like, when you like. Fancy breakfast on the terrace one day? No problem. Need to do a load of washing? Easy. Want to get out and explore the local area? Sure thing.
