Solmar Villas offering 20% off summer holidays
The offer is valid on bookings made before the end of June, for all arrival dates until 21 September 2025. There are more than 800 villas on offer, in destinations including Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Greek Islands, Turkey, Croatia, Cyprus, the Balearics and Canary Islands. A seven-night minimum stay applies, and the offer is valid on new bookings only. All villas have private pools, and properties in Solmar's 'Luxe' and 'Something Special' collections are also included. Villas range from two to 12 bedrooms, so the offer works for everyone from couples to large families or groups. Sharon Bradbury, sales and marketing director, said: 'The peak summer holiday months can be expensive, with many families limited to specific dates across July and August. We are pleased to be able to offer this discount across all arrival dates from June to September and hope it means a more affordable summer holiday for our customers. 'Villa holidays already present excellent value for money, and with our low deposits plus interest-free payment plans we are doing everything we can to make booking a holiday with us as easy and stress-free as possible.' Seven nights, villa only, starts from £1,740 reduced from £2,265 for a two-bedroom property such as Villa Ourania Klio (pictured) in Rethymnon, Crete, arriving Saturday 2 August. Sleeping up to four people, there's air-conditioning throughout, swimming pool, countryside views and a children's play area. The traditional village of Kyrianna is within walking distance, so car hire isn't essential.

Celebration villa breaks: From birthdays to anniversaries, find your perfect luxury getaway
If you're planning a milestone birthday, a big anniversary, or a long-awaited reunion, a villa holiday is hard to beat. Imagine clinking glasses on a rooftop terrace at sunset or gathering loved ones around a candlelit garden table for a leisurely dinner under the night sky. These special occasions deserve much more than booking out a busy hotel, and nothing beats having your own sun-drenched sanctuary where you have the space and privacy to celebrate in style. Whether you're heading to Marrakech in the shadow of the Atlas Mountains, to the rolling hills of Tuscany, or a tropical oasis further afield, Villas are the perfect home-away-from-home for celebrating something, or someone, special. CV Villas' luxurious ABOVE collection offers the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments – think breathtaking settings, total privacy, and the kind of comfort and space that makes everyone feel at home. All come with stunning interiors, sweeping views as far as the eye can see, and enviable locations in some of the world's most sought-after spots. Each villa is hand-picked by dedicated CV Villa specialists, who are experts in helping people craft their dream getaway. Many come with their own infinity pools, breathtaking views and large alfresco dining areas, perfect for spending quality time together during life's most important moments. Villas aren't just places to stay, they're a big part of the celebration itself. Truly luxurious trips From the moment you book your stay to your arrival back home, the CV Villas Concierge team is there to make everything as seamless and stress-free as possible. They are dedicated to looking after you and your party before and throughout your holiday so that you can focus on the things that really matter, like spending quality time together and celebrating without having to worry about the minor details. The team tailors each trip to exactly what you're after, whether you're looking to book a private boat day or need to organise a surprise celebration dinner, nothing is too much trouble. Many of the five-star villas even come with their own butlers and chefs so that you can be waited on hand and foot during your special getaway. ABOVE villas are the epitome of luxury and come with designer interiors, infinity pools boasting panoramic ocean views, and terraces made for golden hour cocktails – properties with serious star quality. What's more, they're located all around the world, from the sun-soaked shores of Spain and Greece to the palm-fringed beaches of far-flung Sri Lanka and beyond. Sampling delicious local food is a big part of a holiday, but catering for a large group can often mean juggling different requests and palates. Luckily for you, many of these luxury villas come with their very own in-villa chefs – perfect for when you'd rather toast the moment with a glass of fizz than spend time flapping around in the kitchen. Instead, let your chef whip up multi-course meals morning till night, using the freshest local produce, all based on your personal tastes and dietary requirements, before tucking into it alfresco under the undisturbed starry night sky. The little luxuries make a big difference to a bucket-list trip: daily housekeeping to keep things spic and span, spa treatments for when you need a little R&R, wine tastings for the adults, yoga sessions with epic views, and even round-the-clock babysitting. All of this can be arranged to make your stay feel even more indulgent.
