Group holidays – once thought of as being stuck on a tour bus with a crowd of strangers – evolved in the past few decades as a premiere option for exclusive getaways with families and friends. It’s not simply the Jennifer Anistons and Courtney Coxes of the world renting villas with their BFFs. Today, from extended family getaways to girl’s weekends to guy getaways (now dubbed “bro-cations”) people realize increasing the traveling group increases the fun.

Group Holiday Accommodation

While hotels and traditional resorts provide some convenience for group holidays, they can also add additional stress and expenses. These days, booking a block of rooms rarely provides the great discounts people expect. In addition, you lose the value of privacy in shared spaces that living rooms, kitchens and entertainment centers afford. Because of this, many look to book casitas, villas or other private home accommodations. This proves especially beneficial during high seasons or holidays, when packed hotels and crowded restaurants make for less than relaxing vacations.

Another advantage of traveling with an exclusive group exists with the ability to book small tours and activities. Here in Costa Rica, many family and friend groups use this to fill fishing expeditions and ecotourism outings just with their own travel companions. This also allows plenty of options for multiple outings when people have different interests. At the end of the day, common areas such as pools or entertainment rooms allow people within the group to visit together before retiring to private quarters.
