Occasionally we get asked why renting a villa is preferable to staying at a leading 5 star resort and the reasons are surprisingly simple:

Privacy. Only by renting a private villa can you begin to start guaranteeing privacy and security. With all of our villas having 24 hour security and minimal traffic you able to relax and enjoy your holiday unobserved and secure in the knowledge that you are free to do as you please.

Cost Benefit. If you are traveling in a large group the economic advantage to staying in a villa is obvious. The more there are of you the more economical it becomes. Staying in 5 star hotels can become prohibitively expensive if your party uses multiple rooms.

Entertainment. Staying in a luxury villa means you can entertain guests in the very best location in the privacy of your own home. Your guests will feel more relaxed as will you allowing you the scope to broaden your range of activities, whether it is a private chef or exclusive pool party.

2^nd Home. Why invest in a second home when you can rent a different one each year. The freedom and flexibility means that not only do you have a second home, but you can change it depending on the season.

Exclusivity. It really doesn’t get more exclusive than having your own private villa. You’ve worked hard and you deserve the best. Shibumi can offer you the best there is on the island.
