Jet2Villas has announced a significant expansion of its portfolio today, thanks to brand-new commercial partnerships with Vintage Travel and Beach Villas, which means hundreds of new villas are going on sale, including the introduction of villa holidays to France.  

As a result of these two new partnerships, a wide range of new villa properties are going on sale today, including in brand-new Bergerac and Nice in France.  

New villa properties are also going on sale across Mainland Spain (Costa del Sol, Jerez and Girona), the Balearic Islands (Majorca and Menorca), the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura and Lanzarote), Portugal (Algarve), Greece (Corfu, Crete, Kefalonia, Paxos, Peloponnese, Rhodes, Skopelos and Zante), Italy (Pisa, Sicily and Tuscany), Croatia, Cyprus, and Turkey (Dalaman).  

This expansion means that Jet2Villas will have almost 4,000 villa properties on sale across more than 40 destinations, catering for the demand from holidaymakers who want the freedom of a villa holiday alongside all the benefits of a package holiday.  

With Jet2Villas, those holidaymakers get the same fantastic benefits as they do from Jet2holidays, including ATOL protection, great flight times with award-winning Jet2.com, 22kg luggage allowance and 10kg hand luggage – all for a £60 per person deposit. On top of this, car hire is included as standard throughout the entire holiday*. 

The variety of villas on sale include family friendly properties, luxury villas, larger villas for groups, remote hideaways, and villas situated within hotel grounds, with three types of villa to suit customers of all needs: 

• Individual villas – detached properties offering total independence with self-catering facilities and private pools. 

• Complex villas – a community of villas on the same complex, offering a neighbourhood-style atmosphere so that customers can take old friends and make new ones. 

• Hotel resort villas – providing all the benefits of an individual villa but with access to hotel facilities and amenities. 

This product continues to resonate with customers as Jet2Villas has recently been recognised as a Which? Recommended Provider for the third year running, after once again finishing top of Which?’s Villas survey.
