Where to Stay: The Private Estate Advantage
Hotels and resort villas are classic options, but if you’re traveling with family or a group, a private estate can transform the trip: more bedrooms, better gathering spaces, a kitchen designed for real hosting, and outdoor areas that feel like your own resort. (Standard managed villa/condo rentals dominate the market.)
