Real luxury on holiday is being able to do what suits you, when it suits you. Privacy is another holiday luxury, often missing – or limited – in mainstream hotels. Having sole use of a holiday villa for your family, gives you the luxury of a private, self-made experience. It also gives you ample space in which to unwind and live the good life – independently and always at your own pace. Exclusive Getaways suggests some opulent exclusive-use villas for luxury family holidays in the Western Cape.
