Luxurious Rentals For the Ultimate Group Vacation
There’s just something nicer about staying in a home.

While on vacation, hotels can have an unfamiliar atmosphere. You don’t know with whom you’re sharing a wall. There are strange sounds in the night. You have to pass the front desk each time you come and go.
It’s irrefutable that a home rental just feels better. And the layout of a home works much, much more easily when traveling with family or a large group of friends. But perhaps you don’t want to sacrifice the luxury of a hotel. You want the comfort of a house—but with perks like a gym, turndown service, gourmet breakfast, and an impeccable view.
Luxury Retreats has culled together a breathtaking collection of more than 5,000 luxury villas in more than 100 destinations around the world. These rentals vary, with diverse options like a beachside retreat in Mauritius to a city penthouse in London. Some of the rentals come with free shuttles to and from the airport, others come equipped with an in-home sauna. Or perhaps you’ll want towel service down on one of the beach loungers. Want to indulge a bit more? There's even a handful of extra services, like a personal chef, at additional cost.
But one thing is steady in all of the rentals: they hold comfort and luxury to a very high standard. If you’re looking for a home away from home (that could put your real home to shame), these 18 villas and retreats could be yours with just one simple click of the “book” button. Now all that’s left to do is book the travel.
