Personalised stays bring luxury to private villas
At your service! Guests can request villa services to get the most out of their villa rental. Managing guest requests is what separates one villa rental company from the next. Privadia has a dedicated “Guest Experience” team to handle each request to ensure guest satisfaction. Whether arranging a special event before you arrive or on-site services like having a private chef or spa services, special requests can transform your vacation.
Most requested villa services
As a leading luxury villa rental company, Privadia has fielded a range of service requests for our guests. From the simple tasks that we receive frequently to those one-off, highly personalised requests that make our guests truly feel “seen,” Privadia takes the initiative to ensure each guest’s stay is one of a kind.
With our most requested services, we’ve curated special, location-specific experiences that guests can only have with us. Here’s how we’re enhancing guest stays in our villas.
Private chef for in-villa dining
Dining is one of the pillars of travel to experience the flavours and culinary arts of faraway destinations. Eating “local” is the standard way of discovering authentic cuisines. But for an elevated experience, nothing says “authentic” more than inviting a local private chef to prepare their cultural specialities in the comfort of your own villa.
Access to a full, state-of-the-art kitchen is a leading reason why guests are switching from hotel accommodations to private villa rentals. Your private chef can curate a specially-prepared meal designed to spotlight local specialties tailored to your personal flavour palette for the ultimate dining experience.
One-of-a-kind private chef dining experiences await inside Privadia’s luxury villas. Invite a private chef to your Ibiza villa for a Feast & Film BBQ feast featuring a post-dinner movie screening. Indulge in homegrown island flavours with a Taste of Mallorca prepared meal at home. Taste the best of Kalkan with a Bespoke Local Chef Experience.
Private yacht charters
Between Spain’s Balearic Islands and the Greek Cyclades, there are hundreds of islands to explore between the island chains. With summer weather in full effect, private yacht charters are highly requested by our villa guests who want to island-hop or explore the open seas.
Full- and half-day yacht charters pack an itinerary with themed experiences, such as sightseeing, sunset cruises, on-board chef experiences, and island visits. Luxury yachts can accommodate large groups.
Set sail with Privadia’s exclusive private yacht experiences. Pair private chef-prepared entrees with Balearic Sea adventures on an Ibiza Gastronomic Yacht Charter. Savour the rare flavours of the UNESCO-designated region in Mallorca on a local chef-guided yacht itinerary. Other routes lean more into tradition, like a private gulet cruise along the coast of Kalkan, or multi-stop sailing itineraries through the Cyclades to explore Aegean Sea treasures.
Holistic wellness retreats
More than 12,000 travellers were surveyed for the Priority Pass “Unlocking the Explosive Growth of Sports and Wellness Travel’ report to reveal that wellness activities are shaping how we choose destinations and more than £800M ($1 Trillion) in wellness tourism spending by 2030. As demand increases, travellers have found ways to incorporate wellness experiences into their villa stays.
From in-home spa services to private morning yoga sessions to curated healthy meals, wellness is a request away. Try our Hamman and Wellness Ritual to soothe your body with warm tea while overlooking Turkey’s Kalkan coast. Unlock a full spa menu from the comfort of your Ibiza villa during our on-site Private Spa Sanctuary. Retreat to your Mykonos villa for the Curated Rejuvenation, a personalised spa session and chef-made meal.
Cultural journeys
Luxury travel is more than just being a tourist. This trip, enrich your vacation with genuine local connections that immerse you in the destination. Discover talented island creatives crafting unique souvenirs from natural materials. Unearth ruins and historic attractions that reveal where architecture, culinary, and cultural inspirations originate.
Staying in a private villa grants access to real relationships with locals cultivated by Privadia’s team for experiences inaccessible to the general public. Trek the Tramuntana mountains on horseback for a guided tour to the region’s best olive oil, wine, and artisan cheese producers. Mykonos comes alive at golden hour with exclusive guest access to beach clubs to ‘skip the line’ and experience the best nightlife in the Aegean Sea like a true VIP.

Privadia makes requesting villa services seamless thanks to our dedicated Guest Experience team. We’re on the ground establishing relationships with local partners and service providers to ensure our guests have everything they need for an unforgettable stay.

Requesting special villa services during stay
Personalising your vacation with special requests is one of the many perks of staying in a luxury villa rather than a resort or other accommodations. With Privadia’s on-the-ground team, we can curate exclusive experiences and accommodate unique requests to make your clients stay in one of our villas perfect. To make requests before or during your clients stay, contact our Guest Experience Team and they will be ready to help.
