Holiday Rentals - Why They're The Best Choice of Accomodation
Daniela Derin • 3 March 2021
Browse Apartments
Holiday Rentals have been a thing worldwide for more than a couple of years already, thanks to the skyrocket ascent of companies like AirBnb and Booking.com, that have made them a fashionable and stylish choice (thanks to them we now have a job title), specially for the millennials, as they're always the early adapters to the new trends.
But here in
Marbella, renting an apartment or a villa from the local real estate agent for a couple of weeks in the summer or a few months in the winter, to catch some out of season sunshine, has been the norm since the 60s, when travel and tourism hit it off.
So we very well know the true value of choosing a vacation apartment for your holiday or break.
And in 2021, when travel resumes after a worldwide pandemic, in which we have been practicing social distancing for far too much, it's only normal that we will all value our own spaces and outdoors much more, while we're eager to connect and spend time together.
We've all got used to spending more time at home, cooking, watching TV, playing cards and board games, working remotely and so on, that when we will next go on holiday (all being well in the upcoming spring or summer) we will all be valuing the extra space and specially the outdoors.
According to the latest trends, travel this year will be friends and family related. We've been so socially deprived over the last year that we very much crave getting together and catching up, therefore we'll all grab the earliest occasion to, either visit family and friends, or travel with family and friends to a destination to spend quality time together.
So what better then choosing a nice large apartment with a fully fitted and equipped kitchen, where you can cook your meals on the days you do not want to go out to a restaurant, a large dining area, where you can all gather together to eat, drink and be merry, a large terrace with sun loungers to sunbathe all together?
However, if you prefer to have your own space and intimacy, then you could each rent a studio or a one bedroom apartment in the same complex and spend time together around the pool, on the beach or dining out.
You'll still get all the advantages of a holiday apartment.
So what should you expect from a holiday apartment?
A cozier choice of accommodation, more space to enjoy, freedom to relax, explore, and even cook meals at home, a dedicated or easy to turn into working area, as now work from home is work from any home and anywhere.
We aim to provide you with a blend between the comforts of your own home and the professional hotel service.
Did you know that for the same price of a tiny hotel room you can get a spacious apartment with its nice balcony overlooking the sea, where you can enjoy some privacy and extra space?
The amenities you will find at a holiday rental
* Super Fast Fibre Optic WiFi to work and play
* Smart TV to stream Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
* Fully-equipped kitchen
* Washing machine, Iron, hair dryer
* Outlets, adapters, and chargers in every room
* High-quality coffee (French press or espresso machine)
* Office space for workationers, either dedicated or "easy to turn into"
* Large Terraces with sea views to relax and unwind
* Professionally cleaned and sanitized apartments (we well knew how to clean before the latest developments...)
Advantages of a Holiday Rental:
FREEDOM: no need to get up early to make it in time for breakfast or come back early from the beach not to miss dinner, you can eat when and what you want in your own dining room having cooked your own meal or having it delivered from one of the top local restaurants.
Plus, who wants to be cramped in a room with hundreds of strangers?
COOK YOUR OWN FOOD: allergies, intolerance or simply want to eat healthier and better? Our kitchens have often been described as "better than what I have at home"
LAUNDRY: wash and dry your clothes when and how you want, every apartment has a washing machine and mot a dryer.
100% FAMILY FRIENDLY: babies that need naps during the day can be in the silent bedroom while you enjoy the view on the balcony, then you can prepare the baby special food, the parents dinner and snacks to take on outings in the fully equipped kitchen.
100% PET FRIENDLY: want to bring your furry friend with you?
No problem, they're totally welcome!
PRIVACY: do you really want to spend your time indoor in 12m2 that is the normal hotel room size?
our smallest studio is 35m2 and has a 6m2 terrace to sunbathe or simply enjoy your own space.
So be smart and get more for your money!
PARKING SPACE: want to rent a car to explore around? We have nearby affordable space to rent alongside your apartment.
FEEL LIKE A LOCAL: belong anywhere, experience the destination in depth, hang out with the locals, experiment with typical fresh food, experience the neighborhoods and keep away from the touristy places, as who wants the same selfies as everyone else?
Your host will be delighted to share tips with you, show you around and most probably take you out for a coffee or a drink, as us people in hospitality really thrive around people.
MEET THE NEIGHBORS: Around the pool or at the pool bar or at the local pub you'll find friendly families and couples to have a chat and share travel experiences with.
PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED: holiday homes are a WIN WIN because you can enjoy all the above with the peace of mind that there is always somebody there to help you out in case of need.
SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS: most property managers are self employed or small business owners that employ local people, so you will be helping the local economy.

2021 is the year of Meaningful Travel and Revenge Travel, when it's more about WHO WITH rather than WHERE, more about what we can do together, rather than meaningless mass travel taking selfies in front of landmarks.
So do something memorable and choose a vacation rental for your holiday and PLEASE reach out if you have any questions info@marbellaholidays.es
If you've been before, then we can only say CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN and BE TOGETHER!

If you're fortunate enough to spend the Christmas and New Year's holiday in sunny Marbella, then you'll have to choose where to eat, drink and be merry. And we will save you time and energy having done the hard work researching ourselves. So, roll of drums...
If you're active on social media you're bound to have heard about it, but what exactly is Revenge Travel? And revenge from who and what exactly? It was one of the biggest anticipated travel trends when last June planes started to fly again around Europe and travelers went off to their favorite places. If in a normal year, one would take a family holiday and 2 breaks, after nearly 2 years of pandemic, with the disruption of having to repeatdily cancel holidays, the majority of us feel we missed out on a lot and that we are owed big time by life itslef. So this year we want to make up for lost time and book if not double as much as a normal year holiday, at least 30% more. We've seen some of our guest twice already, once with family or loved one and then with friends, and that in not even 6 months.
How can you be more sustainable when traveling by supporting small local busines, book direct and help destinations thrive.
Marbella has over 300 sunny days a year which leaves us with 60 days of rain, when we have to find alternatives to enjoying life outside. The first options would of course be shopping at La Cañada or Corte Ingles, but because we're all about local businesses rather than big enterprises, we'll offer you some more sustainable alternatives.
How many reasons do you need to buy a property in Marbella?
You can live in it, rent it and use it as an investment or both
Up until 2019 the Digital Nomads were perceived as some lazy freaks, who pretended to be working from paradisiac beaches while showing up on Instragram lying on an hammock with an Apple Mac while sipping water straight from a coconut. And the Digital Families, as some crazy heartless parents who were putting their kids in danger by taking them to remote destinations with no drinking water or proper health care and depriving them of the "normal school education", stability and routines. People in general were failing to understand how one could have a decent job and do proper work from somewhere rather than a fancy corporate office or teach their kids as well as, if not better than, the schools. As someone who has been a digital nomad before the term was even invented, and spent the mayority of the working life sitting in a cafe on an inflatable ball, and understood the importance of "kids copy what you do not what you tell them to do" I can tell you none of the above is true and that to be a Digital Nomad (single, couple or family) you do not need to go to Bali, Fiji, South America or Byron Bay, the Spanish coast in perfect, easy and affordable. So in March 2020 our world was put upside down, the freedom we took for granted disappeared overnight, we had to adapt quickly in a sea of uncertainties, work and learn from home became the new normal and surprise suprise, the people that had previously worked remotely from home and other places, were used to flexible hours and thinking outside the box, embraced the new normal with less stress and anxiety, transmitting peace and calm to their kids. The corporate lot embraced the work and teach from home less keenly, but soon found that it was a perfectly acceptable way of life and since then many corporation have introduced the "work from home as long as you like" formula. And when the borders reopened in June many of them tought: If Work From Home can be Work From Any Home, then we might as well go somewhere with better weather, where we can enjoy outdoor activities and take care of our mental health. All this became even more relevant as summer ended and the rainy autumn made his appearence in the Northern countries, the grey skys not improving the mood, the school and offices that weren't going to reopen, our new normal being Zoom, Meet and Teams, so we started to see different types of families coming to us to spend a couple of months, get some winter sun and vitamin sea with the only requirements of reliable fast WiFi and well stocked kitchen to cook healthy meals for the kids.
