Vacation Rentals should be more than an online listing, they should be a luxurious respite and home for your tribe away from home.

From seaside estates in the Mediterranean to tropical retreats in the Caribbean, each villa has been chosen for its exceptional setting, thoughtful amenities, and the space it offers for laughter, late-night talks, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether it’s a milestone celebration, a holiday escape, or simply time together, we’ll match you with the perfect home away from home.

Because the most meaningful journeys aren’t about where you go — they’re about who you’re with.

Finding your perfect villa for connection is just a click away.

Featured Bespoke Adventures

San Juan & the Virgin Islands

Unpack Once. Indulge Always. Discover the British Virgin Islands and Beyond in Windstar Style. Step aboard your luxurious Windstar yacht in historic Old San Juan, where cobblestone streets and Spanish colonial charm set the tone for an unforgettable journey. Sail through the sparkling Caribbean, with a special focus on the breathtaking British Virgin Islands—think white-sand beaches, turquoise coves, and a pace of life that invites you to linger.

One day you’ll snorkel in hidden bays known only to seasoned sailors; the next, you’ll browse chic French boutiques or explore volcanic landscapes in secluded Montserrat. While larger ships dock far from the action, Windstar anchors close to the heart of each destination—including tiny, idyllic Jost Van Dyke—so you're always just steps from the experience.

And to make your journey seamless from beginning to end, we’ll curate a bespoke pre- or post-cruise escape tailored entirely to you.

Multiple sailings from October, 2025 - January, 2027 available.
