There can be few forays abroad as fun as taking out a beautiful property in its entirety and packing it full of friends and family. Hiring your own hideaway on a private basis provides that extra privacy and flexibility that holiday-makers with children or those with some serious celebrating to do really need. Forget rigid mealtimes and worrying about waking the neighbours - no-one will have snuck their beach towel onto the best sunlounger before breakfast, and if they have, you shouldn't have invited them.

Private hire needn't necessarily mean self-catering, as many of our suggested destinations come complete with chefs and staff and some even with your own private safari guide. Whether you're taking friends away to mark a special occasion, or arranging an extended family reunion, just let us know your requirements and we'll put together a quote to fit the bill.

Our choice of private hire options range from romantic riads in the Marrakech medina to Andalucian haciendas, Mediterranean villas and immaculate ski chalets, luxurious private safari houses and chic exclusive villas on the Indian Ocean, all of which we have visited personally and recommend highly.
