How to Finally Plan That Friends' Getaway You've Been Talking About for Years—Without the Group Text Nightmare

Gather your favorite people in one stunning villa for less than hotel rooms—while someone else handles all the annoying details.

You’re in the group chat again. Someone floats the idea: “We HAVE to do a trip together this year.”

Everyone hearts the message. Then the replies start:

“Yes! Where should we go?” “When works for everyone?” “Should we do hotels or Airbnb?” “Am I going to need a new bathing suit?”

Three weeks later, nothing’s booked. Six months later, you’re all still saying “we really need to make this happen.”

Here’s why these trips never materialize: Coordinating 6-10 busy adults with different schedules, budgets, and preferences feels impossible. And nobody wants to be the one stuck planning everything while everyone else just shows up.

You’ve seen what happens when someone volunteers to organize. They spend weeks comparing locations, forwarding links nobody clicks on, trying to get consensus on restaurants, and eventually resenting the whole thing because they’re working while everyone else is relaxing.

But here’s what most groups don’t realize: There’s a way to pull this off in style that costs less than you’re imagining and doesn’t require anyone to become the designated coordinator.

Whether it’s a girlfriends’ getaway or a college friends’ reunion, our customized friends’ trips gather your group in a private luxury villa (split the cost and it’s often cheaper than hotels), with a dedicated concierge team handling everything from reservations to activities—so everyone gets to actually be on vacation together.

  • Why splitting a villa among your group costs 30-40% less than booking separate hotel rooms—while delivering what hotels can’t: a private pool where you can talk until 2 AM without disturbing strangers, a gourmet kitchen for making breakfast in pajamas while catching up, gathering spaces where you naturally end up together instead of coordinating times to meet in the lobby, and zero awkward elevator small talk with tourists you’ll never see again (compare villas vs hotel rates).

  • The behind-the-scenes magic our concierge team creates that transforms “we should get together” into “remember when we…”—like arranging that private wine tasting where the sommelier shares stories your group still quotes, or coordinating the surprise chef dinner on the terrace where you finally had those deep conversations you never have time for at home, or finding that hidden beach cove where you spent the entire afternoon laughing like you did in college (these moments happen because someone local who knows the area is engineering experiences you’d never find on TripAdvisor—while you’re all just enjoying vacation).

  • How our 60-point villa vetting process protects you from the group trip disaster story—the one where you arrive to find the “villa” is actually a cramped apartment, the pool is under construction, or the “walkable location” requires a car for everything. With friendships and limited vacation time on the line, our meticulous inspection means the place matches the photos, the amenities actually work, and nobody spends the trip apologizing for the accommodations they picked.
