  • Most enquiries are answered within 24 hours
  • Cancellation terms vary by property and platform
  • Invoices should itemise 10% VAT and any service charge

Step by step

Key steps to book your villa

Some all-inclusive packages with breakfast and a driver may ask for a higher initial deposit because services are pre-arranged.

  1. Initial enquiry

    Send your dates, number of bedrooms and guest count.

  2. Availability & proposal

    Receive villa options with pricing and services such as a private chef or daily housekeeping.

  3. Proposal review

    Check inclusions, exclusions and extra costs such as babysitting or a driver.

  4. Deposit payment

    Secure the villa with a deposit, typically 30–50% of the total, within the stated timeframe.

  5. Contract review

    Sign a formal rental agreement covering terms, conditions and cancellation policy.

  6. Final payment

    Settle the balance 30–60 days before arrival, often in USD, through a secure payment gateway.

  7. Pre-arrival

    Confirm arrival details, airport transfers and any special requests.

  8. Welcome & check-in

    Meet the villa manager or staff for a property orientation.
