Frequently asked
Common questions
What's the difference between a beach villa and a beach house?
A "villa" usually means a standalone luxury home with a private pool and grounds; a "beach house" is broader and can be simpler. Both sit on or near the sand — read the listing to confirm true beachfront vs. a short walk.
Are beach villas good value for groups?
Very — a 4-bedroom beach villa split among four couples almost always beats four sea-view hotel rooms, and you get a private pool, kitchen and living space on top.
When should I book a beach villa for peak season?
For the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia dry seasons, book 4–6 months ahead. The best beachfront villas in Bali, Mykonos and Amalfi fill first.
Do beach villas have air conditioning?
Most modern beach villas do, but older or eco-style properties sometimes rely on sea breeze and fans. Check the amenities list if AC matters to you.
