Clients love the facilities a resort offers, but want the privacy of a villa? Here’s how to get the best of both worlds

1. The Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort, Florida

 

For fun-loving families, Kissimmee in Florida offers a wealth of gated holiday homes on the doorstep of Orlando’s theme parks. The Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort (pictured above) has seven pools, a lazy river, nine restaurants and even a watersports lake – while the villas are equipped with kitchenettes, sofa beds and whirlpool baths.

 

Book it: Tui sells a seven-night self-catered holiday in a two-bedroom villa with balcony or terrace and whirlpool bath from £996 per person, based on three adults and three children sharing. Includes luggage, transfers and flights departing Edinburgh on July 31.
