Planning a holiday for 6, 10, 20 people? Then make sure you read on. If Asia can get one thing right, it’s villas. Whether it’s a mountain retreat in Thailand, a beach vacay in Bali, or something more off the beaten track, we’ve got you covered. Here are some of our most favorite villas for large groups.
Sepoi Sepoi has six large bedrooms, and two of these rooms have two more pull out beds so the villa can sleep 16 people very comfortably. The food is superb with fantastic local dishes and great options for children. There is a huge playroom for children full of toys and board games along with an outdoor cinema-style projector and screen. Older kids might enjoy snorkeling around the Gili Islands, a 5-minute boat ride away, and Dads can practice their swing at the stunning 18-hole Lombok Kosaido Country Club just down the road.
