Reasons to book a Select Holiday Property rather than a Hotel ?
In our properties you are free to live at your own pace. Your group's privacy is protected at all times, be it in the Villa, pool or private gardens.
You have the luxury of a large, well designed living area, plus the freedom to eat when you want and also a personal team dedicated to you through out your stay.
What is the maximum capacity of your villas ?
For each villa the maximum capacity is stated on the villa's description page and on the amenities table. NB This number includes children and infants.

After choosing a Villa how do I book my Holiday ?
Once you have made your choice, we require you to fill in the reservation request.
Select the weeks you want plus the number of occupants, then click O.K.
Our team will then contact you to ascertain your full requirements and post you a booking form.
The Booking Form must be filled in correctly with full names, passport number/Identity card number of all party members and signed by a representative of the group.
On the Booking Form you have the opportunity to tick the box marked "I am open to alternatives" If your chosen Villa is not available, we will suggest other options that meet your criteria.
Make your confirmation payment (if booking more than 8 weeks before
departure, a 50% deposit is sufficient to confirm your villa. Full
payment of the balance is then due 60 days before arrival in the villa.
If you are booking less than 8 weeks before departure, payment of the
full amount is required at the moment of confirmation).
Our team are ready to assist you, please put your phone number in the box provided on our web page, or contact us at; info@worldselectholidays.com or call us on +34 865 779 086.
Payment for the booking?
Payment of both the deposit and the balance may be made in Euro, UK Pounds Sterling, or US Dollars. You may pay this by credit card or by bank transfer.
N.B. You can select your currency when you confirm your request. You will not be able to change currency for the balance once you have paid the deposit.
Must I pay charges for household damages ?
A charge will be requested by bank transfer or credit card seven days after your departure to cover damages incurred during your stay.
What Happens on Arrival ?
A "Meet and Greet" will be held by your Villa Representative at 17h on your day of arrival.
If your arrival is prior to this time, we will do our utmost to ensure that your Villa is ready for you, so please inform us of your actual arrival time.
If you arrive later please contact our booking team, as additional charges may apply at certain destinations.
Is it possible to arrive and/or depart on any day of the week or do you have a set arrival-departure day ?
Most of our villas are rented weekly from Saturday to Saturday. There may be some flexibility in this regard for some properties, particularly in the low season. If you prefer to travel mid-week, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Are your villas safe for children ?
Many of our villas are perfect for families with children. Usually, when we feel they are not, we add a note in the Think About section ?Know for? on each villa page. Those villas we recommend as family villas (please see our children's villas collections) have been tried and tested by numerous families with children. We will of course give you as much info as possible in this regard should it be a concern for you - just let us know your requirements.
Do I need Holiday Insurance ?
We strongly advise taking out insurance at the same time as booking your stay.
Many credit card companies include holiday insurance, as do many other General Insurance Companies so check these first.
We suggest your insurance covers, all cancellation fees, plus medical coverage for all accidents,also repatriation, theft (including luggage) and civil liabilities.
The Company we recommend is Mondial Assurance, who provide coverage for all of the above.
Do you only arrange accommodation ?
No, we will also be happy to arrange a series of add-ons and enriching experiences for you, including in-villa deliveries, in-house cooks, private drivers and transfers, helicopter rides, excursions, speedboat and yacht hire and many other things.
