With properties across the Mediterranean and Florida, SPL Villas’ packageable ‘villacations’ are a great fit for families. With last-minute options available for this summer, as well as those looking to book ahead for 2027, here are six reasons why you should book with the specialist.
1. Complete peace of mind with Atol-protected packages
When you book an SPL Villas package, you can reassure your clients that their hard-earned holiday is fully Atol-protected, giving them confidence and making closing the sale even smoother.
Suggest: Villa Armonia in Pefkos, Rhodes
4 bedrooms – sleeps 8
Pitch this stunning luxury villa to clients seeking a secure, seamless package holiday. During a stay they’ll enjoy spectacular sea views and unwind in the pool (which can be heated upon request), and they can easily stroll down to the nearby beach and restaurants. Plus, they’re just a few minutes’ drive from the historic sites of pretty Lindos.
Other standout selling points include the fully equipped, Italian-designed kitchen and the elegant living area. The high-spec bedrooms boast premium mattresses and satellite TVs. Cots and high chairs are available on request, and air con is included.
2. There’s room for the whole crew
From toddlers to grandparents, there can be a lot of requirements when it comes to multi-generational getaways. A villa provides the perfect antidote to separate hotel rooms, and with spacious communal areas alongside private sanctuaries, everyone can enjoy quality time together without living in each other's pockets.
Suggest: Villa Shangri-La in Zakynthos Town, Zakynthos
5 bedrooms – sleeps 10
This modern, spacious villa comprises two buildings, with the main house and the stone-built bungalow. In the main house the master bedroom features walk-in wardrobes, and all the bedrooms offer balconies and lavish interiors. There’s space for everyone to spread out, from the modern sitting room to the office, library and reading area. The bungalow has its own open-plan kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom.
Outdoors, guests can enjoy the large, eye-catching pool, sunken sofa by the fire pit and lush gardens, and cook in the stunning BBQ area. Tennis, badminton, volleyball and basketball are available on site, alongside a spa and mini gym area. Air con, a cot and high chair are provided.
3. Total freedom to set their own pace
Remind your clients of the joy of a holiday with zero timetables. There are no buffet windows, dress codes or early-morning schedules here. Whether they want a midnight snack, a midday lie-in, or a mid-morning breakfast by the pool, a villacation lets a family dictate the rhythm of their day.
Suggest: Villa Bonita in Carvoerio, Algarve, Portugal

4. An end to the dreaded sunbed wars
Clients won’t need to worry about setting an early alarm just to drape a towel over a hotel poolside lounger. At an SPL Villa, the pool belongs exclusively to them. This means zero competition, total privacy, and relaxation on their own terms.
