Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Rent a Villa – Holiday Villas Koh Samui

Travelling to Thailand is a once in a lifetime experience for many people – if this is you, it’s important to think carefully about your choice of accommodation. Although Thailand is best enjoyed by getting out in the sun and exploring, the place you go to sleep each night can really make a difference to the quality of your holiday.

Holiday-goers now have a variety of options to choose from. Some opt for a package holiday, with inclusive flights and a hotel to stay in. Others may choose to rent a villa – an option that is becoming increasingly popular nowadays for a variety of reasons. See our list of reasons below why villas are an excellent choice for a perfect holiday.

Why Should I Choose A Villa?

1. They are larger. Although this is obvious to some people, holiday villas are usually much larger than a hotel room. For the same price, or even cheaper, you can expect several separate rooms with your own kitchen space. Your holiday should be about you and your family – having a whole pool to yourself really does make a difference.
2. They offer privacy. Being surrounded by members of the public when you are trying to relax is not ideal. Fighting for the last few seats by the pool and worrying about your towels being stolen is the opposite of relaxing. With a villa, you can relax out in the sun in complete privacy, with nothing to disturb you but the sound of the ocean.
3. They are cheaper. Villas are often seen as luxurious venues that only five star celebrities can afford. In fact, because villas are rented on a weekly basis instead of a daily basis, this works out as being cheaper than the cost of a hotel in most cases. For families, villas can also be more cost effective as you do not have to pay per person. Taking the larger space and privacy that a villa offers, holiday villas are often good value for money.
4. They are great for kids. Most hotel rooms only have room for two adults. Squeezing the whole family into one bedroom with the kids on a sofa bed is not a fun experience. With a villa, you can spend quality time with your family in a stress-free manner, and have separate rooms to sleep in. Children can play safely without the boredom of a cramped hotel room. Most villas have requestable facilities for your little ones, such as cots and highchairs. Many even have a babysitting service.
5. They give you more freedom. Having to force yourself up early so that you don’t miss the hotel breakfast times is quite a bit of effort, especially after a late night. Holidays are supposed to be relaxing! Renting a villa means that you can choose when you eat, and what you eat. If you are sick of spending money every night on hotel dinners and out at restaurants, you can have a go at cooking for yourself in the villa kitchen.
6. You have more storage space. Ever wanted to bring some snacks back to the hotel but know that you can’t fit much into that tiny fridge? With a villa, not only do you have a fridge, but you have a whole kitchen full of cupboards and several rooms to hoard all of your souvenirs and inflatable pool doughnuts.
7. They ensure your holiday is tailored to you. A holiday villa allows you to be in charge of everything. You choose the best deals on flights, hire cars, and the most convenient flight times. Whether big or small, near the beach or near the city, there is a villa out there for everyone. Want a villa with a hot tub but know that you won’t use a sauna? Then you can make sure that you get a villa with the facilities you want, at a price you are happy with.
8. The views are better. When choosing a location for a villa, rental companies know that if the view is fantastic, people will want to stay there. At a hotel, you often don’t know whether you’ll get to see a stunning beach sunset out of the window or the side of a shabby looking building. With a villa, you know what you’re getting, and you will almost always be getting something amazing.
9. They are great for reunions and weddings. Want a memorable wedding or reunion without cramming your relatives into separate hotel rooms? Villas provide the perfect venue for such occasions. Not only can you enjoy private rooms with fantastic views, but you can share a pool free of strangers, and have a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for communal living with only the people that you love.
10. They are quieter. There is nothing more annoying than having someone in the next room keep you awake all night when you’re trying to get the sleep you need for tomorrow’s adventure. With a villa, you decide when it’s time to party and when it’s time to sleep.
