Vacation nowadays has become an essential part of our life. This happens because the everyday stress and alertness have a serious negative impact on our equilibrium. The only way to mitigate this serious damage to our health is by going on a holiday. That's why every year millions of people choose their destination for vacation, it's because they want to relax and escape for a while from the difficulties of their life.

You may be wondering why do I mention all the above, since they are more or less already known. My intention is very simple, and it flows from the exaggerated charges that some luxury hotels ask from their customers. When we talk about one person accommodation, usually everything is about ok. But when it comes for family accommodation at a luxury hotel, we have to think it twice. Every family visiting a luxury hotel probably has its own (bad) experience regarding to an excessive charge they had to pay when finishing their vacation, turning their holiday into a huge disappointment. After ending up paying a fortune for just a holiday vacation, it's sure they started thinking more seriously an alternative, cost effective, with human dignity accommodation for their next vacation. My suggestion is this: why choosing a luxury hotel and not a luxury villa or apartment. You can search the net and find thousands of villas and luxury apartments owners who offer their property for short term rental on daily, weekly or monthly basis. I don't want to be misunderstood, my intention isn't to defame luxury hotels, I only want to propose villas rentals as an alternative way of accommodation when going on vacation.

United Arabic Emirates and specifically Dubai is a suitable place if you are interested in renting a luxury villa or an apartment for your holiday. There are lots of villas offered for short term rental, which due to antagonism are usually offered in a very appealing price per week or on monthly basis. Usually villas offer lots of conveniences as well as opulence. You can choose a villa with features such as 5 star facilities, ADSL internet access, cable TV, DVD player, DVD library, home theatre system, fully equipped kitchen, swimming pool, air conditioning, balcony, garden, floor plan, gym, sauna, covered car park, full time staff, etc. You can see on-line lots of photos of the villas or apartments being offered, and the prices in the case of three or more persons are much more logical, taking into account the conveniences and benefits being offered. Calculating the amount of money that each person of a family (or a companionship) has to pay for a luxury hotel accommodation, it's sure we will stay amazed as soon as we realize that renting a villa or a luxury apartment is really a good idea.

The best places for a visitor to choose a villa or apartment at Dubai are:

Springs at Emirates Hills

Near Dubai Marina

Somewhere close to Jumeirah beach

Near the old city centre with its many attractions and shopping malls such as Mall of Emirates (Ski Dubai) & Ibn Battuta Mall

Near the famous Wild Wadi water park

You have two choices concerning the reservation. You can fill an on-line reservation form from the muchness of agencies you can find in the net (just type ?villas for rent? or something similar), or you can come in contact direct with a property owner (so as to avoid the commissions that mediates usually charge you). Do you now think it seriously to rent a villa or apartment? For those who are going to do it for the first time and are a little bit tight, we have to inform you that usually a representative of the property (maybe the property owner) meets you upon your arrival at your villa to welcome you and to introduce you to the facilities. So, don't think about it any more, go for it!
