Founder, George Burdon comments on predictions and immerging trends surrounding villa holidays in Ibiza

2021 will be a year that will see the travel industry boom once more. The desire to travel will be stronger than ever, but to succeed, organisations will need to ensure they re-model to meet the new demands and expectations of consumers. Resulting in a different industry landscape, it will reflect post-pandemic travel styles, revolving responsible travel, and safety-first trips. An expert in his field, our Founder George Burdon comments on the top trends and predictions for the year ahead and how Ibiza villa holidays will become integral.

Socially Distanced Travel

Gone are the days of spontaneous, last-minute trips for those in search of thrill and adventure. The industry will now see travellers planning ahead with socially distanced trips, especially if they or someone they are close to are high-risk. This is where our portfolio of large, private villas step in. Offering minimal contact with others, high-net-worth individuals will veer away from large hotels and resorts and invest instead in private villas that provide safe and secluded spaces.

Slow Travel

There has been a revolution in everyday lifestyles. With the majority of people’s lives moving at a much slower pace and with many now working from home, affluent travellers will want to travel to places for a little bit longer, rush around less and get under the skin of a place. This is where slow travel and long-term luxury villa stays step in. An ideal change of scenery among private and opulent surroundings - with just a WIFI connection, rental guests will be able to continue to work whilst enjoying the respite that comes with the serenity of a villa.

Sustainable Travel

People will continue to experience the world, but in a considerate way. In the coming months and into next year, we can expect an appetite for sustainable and responsible travel, with people consciously wanting to support local communities. Leading luxury travel organisation ILTM published a future of travel trends report which detailed that over 20% of travellers now showed preferences to focus on sustainable and conscious travel with health and wellness related travel itineraries also featuring as a first choice. With an unwavering devotion to Ibiza that sets us apart, at Ibiza Villas, we work in harmony with the local community to offer a comprehensive service that not only meets but exceeds expectations.

Multi-Generational Trips

For many, one of the most challenging aspects of the pandemic was being separated from their nearest and dearest. This is where larger, multi-generational villa stays will step in. Enabling family groups to re-connect and not take any time spent together for granted in 2021, our family-friendly villas in Ibiza will serve as a perfect base. With large communal areas, child safety features and popular Ibizan attractions within easy reach, these villas will offer multi-generational groups the freedom to explore Ibiza on their terms.
