Let’s Blog About Villas

Luxury villa and hotel specialist VIP VIllas has launched a new range of exclusive hotels and lodges in South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique expanding its portfolio of ultimate holiday experiences to the African continent.

The company now features 27 select properties across South Africa, ranging from rustic bushcamps and lodges in the Serengeti, to state-of-the-art private villas in Cape Town, with each holiday individually tailored to combine the best accommodation, flights and services.

With a choice of Luxury Villas across Africa, we can now offer a tailored programme for those who want a short break or a month-long stay. Our properties elsewhere are already attracting a lot of interest since we launched at the end of last year and we look forward to welcoming more discerning travellers with our Africa programme. New properties featured on the site include some of South Africa’s most prestigious hotels - the River Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa in Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands; the Singita Game Reserve; and Les Cascades de Bantry Bay, set in the most exclusive bay on the Atlantic Seaboard close to Cape Town.

VIP villas’ new South Africa programme will also include five-star cookery courses at the award winning Le Quartier Français; golf breaks at some of the country’s finest courses, which are gaining a growing reputation for their quality and service; and safari adventures at the Singita Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park and the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve in the Northern Cape.

Elsewhere in Africa the company features a range of five-star villas and hotels in spectacular locations including Zambezi River, Livingstone and Luanga River in Zambia and Benguerua Island in Mozambique with each holiday created to the specific requirements of each customer.

Simon Williams, Operations Director of VIP Villas, said: “Demand for top-end Luxury Properties is growing and with it comes the need for a more bespoke and personalised service. While South Africa has always had strong links with the UK, this is now extending to other areas of Africa and our new properties demonstrate the high quality that is now available.

For unparalleled luxury in Belize check out Pelican Reef Villas Resort on Ambergris Caye

A beachfront villa hotel on Ambergris Caye has everything going for it, and the Pelican Reef Villas Resort doesn’t disappoint. This is an absolutely top class luxury hotel and resort, based on the rental of owned condos and villasThis is the kind of secluded very upmarket place that would make for the perfect Belize Honeymoon Package.

The villas are very spacious, very comfortable, and seem very new, with glorious views of the sea. If you have a two bedroom villa, then you will have two sundecks, one outside the master bedroom, and a great place to sit in the morning looking out and just relaxing in a dressing gown, whilst the birds cavort around, and the noises from the undergrowth are the way you know you are in the tropics.

There can be some confusion over when is a resort like this actually a self catering holiday, and when is it a hotel. Pelican Reef Villas Resort actually doesn’t have a restaurant, a lounge, so there are no meals, but there is a swim up bar in the pool, and a full service bar. What really qualifies Pelican Reef Villas Resort as a Hotel/Resort is the fact that there is housekeeping service every day, which pretty well takes care of the routine chores, and apart from the lack of a restaurant there is pretty well all of the facilities you would expect in a hotel, such as pool, and the staff
who look after you who are excellent. In fact you won’t really miss a restaurant on the premises, because for one thing they do restrict what you do and when you do it. You do have a fully equipped kitchen if you want to use it.

There is a small grocery store close by, so breakfast isn’t a problem, and in the heat a snack is all that is needed at lunch time and you can get this at the store, and there are good restaurants near by where you can get pretty good seafood.

Restaurants that come recommended include the Sunset Grill, and Carumbas.

You will probably want to hire a golf cart when you are there, as it makes you independent, and able to go into San Pedro which is only a couple of miles away. This is an interesting place and it and the area around are worth a couple of visits or even more.

One of the delights of Pelican Reef Villas Resort is the Pier, which means you don’t have to wade into the water, you can jump in off the pier which is a great place to sunbathe. It is also good for snorkelling, and for those of you who like snorkelling, but not the boat trips this is ideal.

The final word about Pelican Reef Villas Resort this delightful beachfront villa hotel has to be about the caring staff. Everything is covered, from picking you up at the airport, to arranging trips, to answering questions, all done with willingness and a smile, and that is why it isn’t a self catering holiday but a resort, a luxury hotel, because the villas are so great, and perfect for a Belize Honeymoon Package.
