Rental Escapes Introduces New Luxury Villa Packages in the Caribbean and Africa

The first three packages include a Luxury Africa Safari Package that takes guests to four luxury safari camps in Botswana and Zambia, a Luxury Sun & Sea Package for guests that want to indulge in massages, sailing aboard a private catamaran and gourmet meals in St. Martin and a Luxury Health & Wellness Package that includes paddleboard yoga, a session with a private trainer and island cruising on a private catamaran in Barbados.

“Today's luxury travelers want to see more, they want to do more, but they also want to enjoy the privacy and closeness afforded by a five-star villa. That's something they can't get at a megaresort,” said Brian Schwimmer, CEO & Co-Founder, Rental Escapes. “Given our extensive collection of luxury villas around the world, it was a natural extension for us to complement stays with gourmet in-villa dining and unforgettable experiences.”

Travelers want to spend less time managing vacation logistics, like booking activities and making restaurant reservations, and more time enjoying the company of friends and family. They want to relax and enjoy their time away, even before they board a plane. These luxury all-inclusive villa packages are designed with this in mind. Rental Escapes takes care of it all, ensuring a more rewarding vacation, without the buffet lines and crowded pools.

Among the new luxury villa packages available through Rental Escapes are:
