Tips for Choosing
- Check the capacity range: Options span from stays for around 8 guests to multi-villa properties handling 30 or more. Choosing a capacity with room to spare for your group keeps sleeping and lounging arrangements comfortable.
- Is the rate per villa or per person?: Whole-house rentals are usually priced per villa, so the more guests, the lower the cost per person. Glamping stays may instead list per-person rates. Watch for the difference in how prices are shown.
- Bedrooms and room assignments: Where the bedroom count is published, it helps you plan your group’s room assignments. For three generations or multiple families, checking the number and layout of bedrooms brings peace of mind.
- Book via the official website: Large groups may face extra fees or headcount conditions. Check each property’s official website for the latest rates, availability, and pet policies.
