You deserve it. Give yourself some time to let go of your worries, turn off your phone and make the most of your time away from home, and escape on one of thousands of villa holidays in Spain in 2023/2024. Bed down in a comfortable home with all your creature comforts provided for you, some with private pools and beautiful views, before heading out to explore the many sandy beaches, bar and restaurant culture or historical sites that are characteristic of Spain's rich cultural heritage. And when night-time comes around gather everyone up at your Spanish style holiday villa for dinner together before heading off into the local town or city for a taste of the local nightlife.
What's Included
What's included on your Spanish villa holiday completely depends on which travel company you book with. You can get some fantastic deals when booking a package that includes flights, accommodation and car hire, although this will vary from provider to provider. Brands like Jet2Villas may include things like a hire car automatically, while others such as James Villa Holidays may just provide the accommodation only element.
You'll probably also get the option to add on extras such as a welcome basket so that you don't have to rush to the supermarket when you arrive. Be careful of added fees which aren't always incorporated into the "from" price, such as the cost of heating a pool if a private pool is available at your accommodation.
Best Spanish Villa Locations
Majorca
Find a holiday villa in Majorca to suit your needs easily. The range is vast - but what you're searching for really depends on what you are looking for on this stunning Spanish island. A trip here should not be limited to a passing weekend in a hotel resort. Instead, settle into a spacious, homely holiday villa and uncover the incredible culture and vibrancy of Mallorca. In addition to soft, sandy beaches and busy nightlife, there's a world of culture, history, cuisine and diverse landscape waiting to be explored.
Fuerteventura
Located in the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura enjoys warm weather throughout the year, making it the ideal place for enjoying some winter sun. There are some great places to stay here too, with sea views, heated pools and being close to the beach. Check out areas like Corralejo and Caleta de Fuste as some of the most popular areas.
Costa Brava
Dotted around this part of north eastern Spain, you'll find some excellent apartments and villas for rent (and sale), allowing you to choose the best area for you depending on how close or far away from the busier parts of Catalunya.
Costa Blanca
Famous for sun loving Brits, the Costa Blanca offers a little bit for everyone and while first thoughts may be of towering hotels in Benidorm, you'll find some beautiful modern and Spanish style villas in and around the area including Calpe and Denia.
Spain Villa Offers
There are plenty of cheap deals and offers available in Spain, especially when you package up your flights and car hire with your accommodation. If you don't mind where you go in Spain, last minute deals can be a great option for keeping the cost down too. Plus things like shared pools (and no pool), terraced homes and being further away from the main resorts can often help reduce the cost too.
Booking your accommodation separately like via friends and family or with Airbnb can also mean you find some incredible prices, but be aware of challenges around flexibility and cancellations should you not be able to travel, or providing financial protection on your booking. This can be overcome by booking through an ATOL and ABTA protected provider.
Near The Beach
Whether you've chosen a villa without a private pool, or you just like to have the option of enjoying time on the sand, booking a holiday villa in Spain near the beach can be a great idea. Hiring a car can make this even easier giving you the freedom to expand your choice of local beaches to explore.
Throughout the islands and mainland coastline, you'll find a wealth of self catering accommodation close to beaches, from Estepona in the south all the way up to Barcelona in the north. When looking at holiday homes, take a look at the map too so you can see just how far it is from the nearest beach.
Spanish Villa Holidays With No Car Required
Many of the cheapest villas are located a bit further away from shops, bars and restaurants, however you can still find some fantastic deals, even if you don't want to hire a car. Provided you don't mind a little bit of walking, areas like Golf del Sur in Tenerife, Nerja in the Costa del Sol and Cala'n Forcat in Menorca are ideal for those who like to be closer to resorts with no car required. Always take a look at the map to see the property's location in relation to nearby resorts and amenities.
