Looking for a villa holiday? We have one of the largest selections of villas available, with properties in some of Europe’s best spots — the Costa del Sol, Majorca, Cyprus and the Algarve among them. You could opt for a self-catering city apartment in the heart of Alicante, Dubrovnik or Palma, or find a villa with a butler service to take the hassle of cooking away. Every villa we book comes with full ATOL protection and a real person to call if your plans change.
Popular villa rental destinations
Costa del Sol, Spain — private-pool villas within easy reach of Marbella and Puerto Banus, ideal for families wanting a base close to beaches and golf.
Majorca — from countryside fincas to coastal villas near Palma, with options ranging from simple self-catering to fully staffed properties.
Cyprus — year-round sun with villa rentals around Paphos and Protaras, many with private pools and short transfer times from the airport.
The Algarve, Portugal — golf-course villas and clifftop properties around Vilamoura and Lagos, popular with couples and golfing groups alike.
City apartments — self-catering bases in Alicante, Dubrovnik and Palma for travellers who want a villa holiday’s flexibility with a city break’s culture and nightlife on the doorstep.
What’s included when you rent a villa with us
Renting a villa through an independent specialist rather than a faceless portal means someone has actually seen, or vetted, the property you’re booking. We match you to a villa based on group size, budget and what matters to you, whether that’s a private pool, walking distance to a beach, or a chef and housekeeping included:
- Full ATOL protection on every villa holiday we book, so your money is protected if a supplier fails
- A choice of self-catering or fully serviced villas, including private chef and housekeeping options
- Flights, transfers and car hire arranged alongside your villa, not booked separately across different sites
- A real person to call before you travel and while you’re away, not a call centre queue
For something further afield, we also arrange private island rentals — exclusive-hire islands with staffed accommodation, private chefs, and itineraries tailored entirely around you. A handful of our favourites are below.

Why book your villa or island escape with Global Travel Worldwide
We’ve been arranging villa and private island holidays for over 25 years, so we know which properties live up to their photos and which don’t. Every booking comes with full ATOL protection, and a real person to call before you travel and while you’re away, not a call centre queue. Whether you want a simple self-catering villa in Cyprus or a fully staffed private island in the Caribbean, we’ll match the property to what you actually need rather than what’s easiest to sell.
