Many prefer the freedom of staying in a villa instead of a hotel – you’re not subject to the often rigid timings for meals and you can turn a villa into a temporary home with all the creature comforts you need. But in a lot of cases, high-quality villas are a distance from the region’s golf course and spending more time travelling between the two locations. Time you could otherwise spend with other leisure activities.
There is an idyllic solution for those looking to stay and play and experience unlimited golf – by staying in a golf villa on the resort itself! In that spirit, let’s look at popular destinations that combine villa accommodation within a stone’s throw from high-quality golf courses.
