Luxury villa operator 5 Star Villa Holidays has reported a 50 per cent increase in enquiries and villa bookings from UK holiday makers over the past month, a rise attributed to a change in our holiday aspirations post covid-19.
The news comes as it also announces a new collection of villas in Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. We’re literally being spoilt for choice.
“As an operator, we’ve responded to the pandemic with new safety measures to help our customers stay safe and also feel confident in booking their villa holiday, like extra cleaning in our villas and the ability to change a reservation to a later date if a guest can’t travel due to coronavirus,” says founder John Paul Donnelly.
“A villa offers like space, privacy and control over your own environment…these factors are more important than ever to customers now.”
Donelly says that there’s been a trend to travel with an extended family, and an 8 bedroom villa will sleep 16 in luxury.
