Exceptional Travel, a luxury tour operator based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, have recently launched their Private Houses section of their website showcasing a small selection of properties offering guests complete exclusivity.
Whether this be a safari lodge in South Africa, a colonial town house in Sri Lanka or a private island in the Maldives, the decision to take a private house is invariably for one of two reasons; for a cheaper alternative for families/friends travelling together, or for a guaranteed private experience regardless of cost.
The Cost Saving Alternative - Often taking a private house for a large group or family can be a more affordable option when compared to taking the equivalent number of rooms in a hotel/lodge.
Forty One Light House Street, Galle, Sri Lanka
£3,300 based on six people sharing in peak season (Compared to £12,000 staying in a local luxury hotel) in 2014 including:
Seven nights exclusive use of the three bedroom villa on a bed and breakfast basis.
41 comes equipped with a fully fitted kitchen and chef. Food is charged at cost and the chef will discuss any meals the guest requires, buy all food fresh at the market and pass the direct cost of purchasing food to you. No profit is made from the kitchen.
The Ultimate Luxury - For those whose priority is privacy over price, a selection of ultra-luxurious villas, lodges and even islands are available. Complete with original and precious art, award winning chefs and a selection of boats/helicopters/vehicles at ones disposal, these properties will satisfy even the most discerning guest.
Coco Prive, Kuda Hithi Island, North Male Atol, Maldives:
£53,600 based on two people sharing (to £134,000 based on 12 people sharing) in peak season 2014, including:
