There’s a lot to be said for a luxury hotel – from the impeccable service and excellent accommodation on offer, to a range of exciting food, drink and leisure facilities. But those who head off on lavish getaways are increasingly looking for a level of privacy they just can’t get in a hotel – and, unwilling to compromise on the five-star treatment, the luxury villa rental is slowly but surely making its way to centre stage.
According to a recent report in Forbes magazine, growth in the private accommodation sector is outpacing growth in the travel industry as a whole by a factor of two. Meanwhile, VRMB says that it is only a matter of time before holiday rentals topple the hotel industry entirely, with Research and Markets suggesting that the industry will be worth a whopping $169.7 billion by 2019.
Offering an unrivalled air of exclusivity, there are some incredible luxury holiday villas available to rent around the world – and one area that has seen a huge spike in recent times is Orlando, in Florida. Once a destination renowned solely for Disney World and its smattering of other world-famous theme parks, Orlando has fast become a glamorous playground for the rich and famous – and with a number of paradise beaches to visit and shopping and eating options that are second to none, it’s certainly not difficult to understand why.
With the increase in luxury-seeking visitors has come a flurry of new accommodation options to satisfy demand – and luxury rental company, Exclusive Private Villas, has brought a new standard of five-star accommodation to the area. Boasting incredible features that include movie theatres, ice rinks and even their own casinos, these impeccably designed villas leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of opulence.
The Reunion Resort Villas offer guests the experience of a lifetime – a bold statement, but one they certainly don’t fail to live up to. From bowling alleys to private bars, summer kitchens and even a drive through cinema, it’s a whole new level of super luxury – and this 12 bedroom Reunion vacation home is the ultimate pick of the bunch.
One of the newest villas available to rent in Orlando, it comfortably sleeps up to 26 guests, making it an ideal bolthole for those travelling with large groups of families or friends. And, boasting over 13,000 sq.ft of modern, open plan living where no expense has been spared, it’s a luxurious sanctuary for visitors and their guests to enjoy.
Catering for all ages, this spectacular villa threatens to leave you open-mouthed with all it has to offer – particularly younger guests, who will be blown away by the range of fun, themed rooms. Meanwhile, teenagers can enjoy the cinema, arcade and a separate gathering room with both Xbox One and PS4 game stations, while adults get to choose from a workout in the gym or relaxing in one of the 3 bars. A games room features the only 4K TV video wall in the whole of the Reunion Resort, too – putting you in a privileged position should you manage to secure this coveted holiday spot.
Outside, there’s a huge patio and pool area which spans the entire width of the property, and a sizeable spa which can comfortably seat up to ten people at a time. With spectacular views over the golf course, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind, morning, noon or night.
The villa is just one example of the calibre of accommodation Exclusive Private Villas has brought to the area, with a variety of lavish options available across the expansive Reunion Resort. Each offers its own unique identity, offering different touches to suit varying tastes – but one thing they all have in common is their no holds barred approach to luxury. Extravagant yet tasteful in every way, they offer an experience a shared hotel just can’t – and this is one of the many reasons villa rentals are taking over as the preferred choice in sunny Orlando. Reunion Resort Villas are leading the pack in terms of ultra-luxury rental.
Kerrie Potts at Exclusive Private Villas, says: “Each of our villas has taken luxury to the extreme, with every last detail considered to make sure our guests have an unforgettable stay. Offering space, privacy and sheer exclusivity, there’s no better place to spend an Orlando holiday, and with popularity increasing by the day and our finest villas booking up well in advance, it signals a new era for holiday accommodation.”
