Remember the old adage: “the early bird catches the worm”? Well, securing your dream luxury rental is no different. Yes, there’s always a chance you’ll find an incredible last-minute bargain. But, really, when seeking those goosebump-amazing luxury experiences, why risk it?
Here’s why you should plan ahead and pick from the cream of the crop.
Luxury Rentals Are in High Demand
You know the kinds of places, we mean. Although everyone has their own interpretation of perfection when it comes to choosing a holiday/vacation rental, we can all agree on those extra special details. Mind-blowing views, the most exclusive locations, private beaches, apartments in the heart of the action, tree-houses, cabanas in walking distance of the beach, family homes with plenty to entertain the kids… the list goes on.
To secure the rental you really, really want, you need to act as soon as you have an idea of the dates you wish to travel.
What You Can do to Secure Your Dream Luxury Rental
When it comes to getting what you really want, you need to plan ahead, particularly when booking luxury rentals during high season. You need to act as soon as you have an idea of the dates you wish to travel.
Europe
Booking in advance is essential to avoid disappointment during Christmas, New Year, Easter and the summer in Europe. Making your arrangements eight months to one year ahead is advised. Villas in Italy, Portugal’s Algarve and the Costa del Sol in Spain, for example, are usually booked for the summer season by March. You might find a last-minute slot if you are very flexible with your dates or decide to travel during shoulder seasons in early spring and late autumn.
Gulets in Turkey are also very popular during the summer and should be booked in advance, though you will find the weather quite agreeable during the shoulder seasons.
Mexico
The high season for Mexico’s coastal regions is during the winter, when beach destinations become hot spots for snowbirds escaping the brutal temperatures back home. For luxury rentals from November through April, you will need to book at least 8 months in advance to secure your first choice. If you want to stay for Thanksgiving. Christmas and New Year, you might consider a whole year ahead, as competition is steep for these dates. Easter is also a very competitive time for luxury beach rentals in Mexico.
For Banderas Bay — which includes the Riviera Nayarit, Punta de Mita and Puerto Vallarta — and Costa Careyes, summer is a great time to book a stay last-minute.
Mexico’s Caribbean locations in Riviera Maya and Tulum tend to be popular among luxury seekers both during the winter high season and the summertime. The region appeals to both North Americans and Europeans because of shorter flight times to Europe. As such, be sure to book well in advance for a summer luxury rental as well as winter getaways.
If you are looking for a bargain, September is the time to book your stay in Mexico. And, if you plan it right, you can experience Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16th.
