FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

​

​

Why don’t you list villa inventory on your website?

​

I do not display inventory because villas are not one-size-fits-all.  I source and curate a personalized shortlist of professionally vetted villas based on your dates, group size,  preferences, and investment.

This ensures you receive:

• Only accurate, up-to-date , available options

• Villas that meet your specific needs (no endless scrolling)

• Properties personally vetted through trusted luxury supplier networks

 

You get a tailored selection, not a warehouse of listings—making the entire experience personalized, effortless, and elevated from the start.

​

Which destinations do you specialize in?

​

I source luxury villas across the U.S., Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America— focusing on destinations known for elevated service, wellness-friendly environments, and seamless group travel.

​

If you have a destination in mind, I’ll source the best villas available. If you’re unsure, I’ll recommend locations that fit your investment, vibe, and experience goals.​​

​

Aren't luxury villas expensive?

Luxury villas can  be expensive—but they are often more affordable than you think.

Most travelers compare villa pricing to hotel rates per person, but villas are priced per night for the entire property. When you divide the nightly rate by the number of bedrooms, the cost often matches (or beats!) a luxury resort stay.

​

For example:

• A $3,000 per night private beachfront villa with 6 bedrooms / 12 guests for 7 nights is $21,000 ($1750 per person) compared to a 5-star luxury beachfront resort which can easily cost $2000 or more per person for 7 nights.

 

Plus, villas include added benefits like:

• Full kitchens

• Private pools

• Indoor/outdoor living spaces

• Private Staff such as housekeeping, chef services, or butlers (varies by villa)

 

You’re getting more space, more privacy, and a more personalized experience—often for the same price or less.

​

Why book through LUXE instead of direct with the villa or Airbnb / Vrbo?

I source only vetted, reputable villas through trusted supplier networks that ensure quality, safety, and service.

 

When you book through me, you receive:

• An experienced professional overseeing every detail

• Verified villa availability and no surprise fees

• Support with transfers, excursions, chef and staffing services, and itinerary design

• Protection through licensed travel supplier partnerships

• A single point of contact from planning to return home

 

It’s the luxury of having a private villa and the comfort of having someone to handle everything for you.

​

Do you work with retreats, events, or group trips?

Absolutely. Whether you're planning a wellness retreat, family getaway, corporate incentive trip, intimate celebration, or a wedding - I curate villa stays that elevate the entire experience.

I also assist with itinerary planning, wellness add-ons, chef and staffing services, on-site / off-site experiences, and logistics—so your group can simply arrive and enjoy. 

 ​What’s the difference between a private villa and a resort villa—and do you offer both?

Yes. LUXE sources both private villas and resort villas, giving you two distinct styles of elevated travel.

​

Private Villas
A private villa is a standalone luxury home—completely yours for the stay.

Expect:

• Total privacy and exclusivity

• Private pool, full kitchen, and spacious indoor/outdoor living

• Personalized service (housekeeping, chef, butler—varies by villa)

• A secluded, custom-tailored experience

 

Perfect for families, retreats, celebrations, or groups who want a true private escape.

 

Resort Villas
Resort villas offer the best of both worlds: villa-style living within a luxury resort.

You’ll enjoy:

• The space and privacy of a villa

• Full access to resort amenities: pools, spa, restaurants, activities

• Resort staff and concierge services

 

Ideal for guests who want the convenience, energy, and amenities of a resort—without sacrificing space.

​

With LUXE, you’re never limited. I match you with the villa style that best fits your group, investment, and experience goals—private, resort, or a curated mix of both.
