Great Golf Villas

Saturday August 27th, 2011

If you love golf but are not looking forward to teeing off from winter greens, wading through puddles and sloshing around in mud in order to satisfy your fix at your local club in the UK during the winter, have you thought about taking a well-deserved break to the Mediterranean with a few bosom buddies in order to soak up some refreshing rays and hit a few shots straight down the middle of some of the most beautiful golf courses on the planet?

Taking a mud bath as you struggle through a wet and windy round in the UK will be the last thing on your mind as you breeze around some of the finest courses on the continent, basking in the sunshine and enjoying every minute of your brilliant golf break. Many of our most popular villa rentals are close to great gold courses in the Algarve, the Costa Del Sol, Mallorca and Tenerife and we have many breaks especially designed for discerning golfers. Holiday villas also allow you and your friends the chance to create your own bespoke 19th hole back home after each round, relaxing by the pool with a few ice cold celebratory post-match beers.

We have villas to rent in Portugal which literally overlook classic courses and allow you to walk across your lawn to the first tee. Alternatively, many of our villas in Mallorca are also extremely close to excellent courses as well as being in close proximity to lovely beaches and lively nightlife.

Villa Holidays – Private & Comfortable

Wednesday April 27th, 2011

Thanks to fifty years of booming package tourism, Spain now has more holiday resorts than any other European country. However, going to a Spanish holiday resort is not the only way to see Spain. Holiday villas are a great alternative to holiday resorts as they afford holidaymakers more privacy and comfort than resort accommodation.

Privacy
Privacy is quite a precious commodity in many Spanish resorts. There are people wherever you turn and so you rarely get any time to yourself. As resorts generally want to offer as many distractions as possible, there is a constant buzz of activity in the air which is difficult to evade. Staying in a holiday villa rental provides you with all the privacy you could want.

Comfort
Sadly, most Spanish resorts were built with quantity in mind rather than quality. By contrast, private villas offer you quality accommodation with all the comforts of home. They are far more spacious than resort accommodation as Spanish homes typically have large plots of land space. Private villas also frequently have their own private pools and terraces.

Even though resort holidays are generally cheaper than villa holidays, it is worth considering exactly what you are paying for. When you compare the levels of privacy and comfort offered by private villas to that of resort accommodation, you can see that you are getting far more value for money. If you want to enjoy Spain far away from the high-rise hotels and ubiquitous apartment blocks, consider a holiday villa rental.

Beat the Holiday Hustle & Bustle With Villa Holidays

Saturday April 9th, 2011

Winter is nearly over and that means it is time to get hold of some travel brochures and whet your appetite for your first European sunshine holiday of the year. The simple choice is to go to a big sun-hotel on the Costa Brava as they can take care of all your holiday needs. However, that might not be the best choice if it is more of a peaceful break you are after. How about a relaxing holiday in a stunning location that keeps you far from the madding crowds and away from the hustle and bustle of a hotel? If this sounds more like your idea of a perfect holiday then you may well enjoy a holiday villa rental.

Villa holidays are the perfect way to enjoy some time away but still have your own space. You and your party can feel at home right away as, unlike in a hotel, you do not need to share your amenities with any other guests. This ensures you can completely unwind and relax properly. There are many different types of holiday villas available all throughout Europe in locations near to beaches, in towns, or in the open countryside. Whether you’re looking for a break with the family or a romantic getaway just for two, there is sure to be a holiday villa rental to suit your exact requirements.

So, do you still want to back for another week of hustle and bustle?

Thursday December 30th, 2010

Villa rentals are the perfect way to enjoy a great holiday in Majorca. Villas in Majorca are numerous and great value, so you can find something to suit any type of party and any budget.

Of course, plenty of visitors just want to head straight to the beach, but there is more to this part of Spain that just sunshine and sea. History buffs might enjoy the Roman town of Pollensa for example. It’s only a few miles inland. The town is steeped in history and has a fantastic market.

Catering more to an older crowd who like to dine out. The restaurants down along the sea front are superb, with some great sea food on offer.

Villas in Spain are so popular because of the weather. Even in the winter, the temperatures are pleasant and mild. A great escape from the worst of the weather in the UK. Shame we don’t have a Mediterranean climate here!

A great way to get the most out of your trip and fully explore the region, is to book a hire car. The island is easy to drive around and there is plenty to see. Don’t leave it until the last minute though. If you book ahead you can get a much better deal. See what offers you can find online.

Villa rentals are so easy now thanks to the Internet. The hard part when confronted by so much choice is where to visit. Some people are prepared to take a chance and visit an up and coming tourist region.

Winter Wonderland: Christmas Villa Rentals

Tuesday November 30th, 2010

Who said your winter wonderland has to be covered in snow? Some of our most popular luxury villa rentals are scooped up in time for a little festive celebration! The lovely winter sun beckons us all on those cold and frosty mornings, so why not do something about it and try a sun-soaked Christmas adventure?

Christmas is perhaps the best time of year to gather around family and friends, but for one reason or another that ideal situation of festive fun isn’t always feasible. A break in one of our group rental villas could mark the definition your rabble needs to really enjoy each other over the festive period.

On the other hand, some people just want to get away from it all at Christmas. Our luxury villas are particularly popular with solo travellers and couples over the Christmas break. Marking the end of a busy year with some soothing relaxation by the pool could be just what you need!

Christmas villa rentals are some of our best value options when it comes to cheap villa holidays, with weekly rental prices falling by more than half in some cases. Since most of our villas are set in locally opulent areas, you needn’t worry about things like the supermarket being closed or taxi service on hiatus until spring either. Just settle in and enjoy the local community.

Travel during the Christmas period can be a nightmare! Be sure to have a chat with one of our travel experts who’ll point you in the right direction.

Are Holiday Villas Safe?

Wednesday October 27th, 2010

Are you putting off staying in holiday villas in Portugal because you are worried about your safety? There is no need to worry when booking villa rentals with Azure Holidays.

Staying in holiday villas means having extra privacy and more freedom than you would have in a hotel room. With cleaners, reception staff and others able to access your room, your belongings are often left unsecure when staying in a hotel. When staying in holiday villas the only people who will have access to the accommodation will be you and the owner. This means there is less chance of things going missing and you can relax safe in the knowledge that your belongings are secure.

If you are staying in a villa with its own private pool or gardens, you will probably be planning to spend the majority of your day there. This means you do not have the added stress of worrying about pickpockets or falling victim to any scams. You can close your eyes and drift off knowing that the camera sitting beside you will still be there when you wake up. In addition, when using the modern appliances in the kitchen or living area there is less chance of any accidents occurring. The same may not be said for dated hairdryers and televisions found in many hotel rooms.

Of course in the event of anything going wrong, help will always be at hand. Local people and your neighbours will always be able to help you in the case of an emergency as Azure Holiday villa rentals are always found in very convenient locations.

Be the First to Bag the Sun Loungers When Staying in Villa Rentals

Thursday October 21st, 2010

It has just gone 7am on your first day of your Spanish holiday. You take a walk out onto the hotel balcony overlooking the pool and what is that you have spied?! Every single sun lounger has already been claimed by other holidaymakers staying in the hotel. What should you do? Complaining to the manager will not get you very far. The best solution is to book holiday villas in future.

This can be one of the most annoying things when on holiday when all you want to do is relax by the pool. Even when you do manage to get hold of the much sought after sun lounger you will have to put up with the incessant loud music and children screaming. Ahhh how relaxing- not! When booking holiday villas in Spain, you will have access to your own pool or garden where you will be able to relax in your own surroundings listening to your own music. Now that is real relaxation.

By staying in villa rentals you will be in more control when it comes to when to get up in the morning. You do not need to think about rushing down to grab a sound lounger or a spot around the pool as you have already reserved the whole area for you and your family. Likewise when you are feeling a bit peckish you do not have to put up with the greasy food or snacks the hotel will be serving as you can simply skip into the villa kitchen and make yourself something healthy from locally sourced foods.

Is your life stressful enough, let Azure Holidays find you the most amazing holiday villa
