As the recession bites, it is getting harder to find affordable, yet still exciting ways to spend our precious holiday time. A perfect way to solve the dilemma and tick all the boxes for a fantastic holiday abroad is by booking late villa deals. Whether by impulse or design, booking at the last minute can save you hundreds of pounds. If you type in the words “late villa deals” or “late villa holidays” into the internet you will be presented with a veritable smorgasbord of ideas – then all you need to do is come up with a reason!
Birthday
What a great birthday it would be for your partner, sister, brother or even your parents if you presented them with the gift of a late villa deal. Depending on which country you choose, it needn’t cost you – or them – the earth. Some Mediterranean countries are extremely cheap in comparison to the UK, and once you exclude the cost of the villa rental which you have so generously paid for, (they needn’t know how little it cost!) your lucky recipient will be able to keep their own expenditure to a minimum. It would be a wonderful way to show someone how much you care; make sure you’re always number one on the Christmas card list; and most importantly – you will be giving someone you love a fantastic opportunity to relax.
Team building
Imagine your popularity if you announced to your hard working employees that this year for your team building strategy they were all being whisked to the Costa Blanca or Cyprus for a week! You could easily wait until the last minute and grab a fantastic late villa deal, but you can also plan ahead and get some great prices for booking well in advance. This would also give your team a great incentive to work towards for the entire year! There are plenty of villas that can accommodate group bookings and you will be able to spend lots of time with each other on the beach (team building of course!), or conducting seminars on the deck of your villa overlooking the Mediterranean. Money couldn’t buy the value of a bonding session like that!
Friends Reunited
What a wonderful idea for a reunion of old friends – sun, sand, sea and a week of being together in your own private villa. As long as you can all agree on the destination with the huge choice out there; a late villa holiday is the ideal way to while away the hours and spend quality time with some long lost friends. Villas can accommodate small or larger groups, and whether it’s a school reunion or just a get together for the old gang from the neighborhood, a late villa deal will ensure that everyone will be able to afford to come.
Apology
Je suis desole, mi dispiace, lo siento – or just; “I’m so sorry darling, can you ever forgive me? By the way – I’ve booked us a late villa deal in Menorca.” Who could resist an apology like that? You’ll be forever in the good books – providing you really ARE sorry – if you take your loved one to a romantic Mediterranean destination to kiss and make up. Just the two of you; walking on the beach, drinking cocktails at sunset and wandering through cobbled streets to a romantic candlelit dinner. By the end of the week your lucky guest will have forgotten why you fell out – but will always remember the way you made up…
