Frequently Asked Questions About Villa Rentals & Private Island Overnights
How far in advance should we book our villa + island overnight package?
We recommend booking 3 6 months ahead, especially if you’re traveling during peak season (December March) or planning for a special occasion. However, we do accommodate shorter timelines based on availability.
Can we customize the island destination or villa location?
Absolutely. Every experience is personalized. We work with you to select the villa neighborhood that suits your vibe and the specific island or anchorage point that matches your preferences and group dynamics.
What if someone in our group has mobility limitations or special needs?
Our team thrives on solving these challenges. We’ll match you with accessible villa options, discuss vessel capabilities with our yacht partners, and adjust activities accordingly. Let us know your needs upfront, and we’ll design around them.
Are meals and beverages included in villa stays?
That depends on how you structure your booking and what add-ons you select. We can arrange private chef coordination, grocery provisioning, or restaurant partnerships. Contact us for specific details on what’s included in your package.
What happens if weather impacts our island overnight?
Safety is non-negotiable. Our local partners and crew monitor conditions closely. If weather becomes unsafe, we either delay your island departure, relocate to a more protected anchorage, or offer alternative activities. Your safety and comfort always come first.
Can we combine a villa stay with wedding events or other celebrations?
Yes. Many of our clients book a villa as their wedding weekend base, coordinate the ceremony or reception on the island (or in town), and use private island overnights as pre or post-wedding experiences for the wedding party. Our full-service event planning makes this seamless.
