As autumn approaches, SandyBlue, the Algarve’s leading villa rental agency, is witnessing a significant trend: an increase in extended stays. The extended stay service is fast becoming a preferred choice for guests at this time of year, offering a strategic advantage for villa owners.
Why guests choose extended stays
The Algarve’s mild autumn climate, with its pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds, provides the perfect backdrop for a longer, more relaxed holiday. Remote work flexibility also plays a crucial role. Many professionals now seek environments that combine productivity with leisure, and SandyBlue’s villas offer high-speed internet and comfortable workspaces, making the transition seamless.
Extended stays allow guests to immerse themselves in the local culture. Rather than a quick, surface-level experience, they have the opportunity to explore hidden gems, engage with local communities, and truly unwind. The cost-effectiveness of longer stays is another significant factor. With discounts available for extended bookings, guests find it more economical and appealing to prolong their visit.
Benefits for villa owners
For villa owners, extended stays means stable, reliable income. Autumn, typically a quieter season, is transformed into a period of opportunity thanks to the influx of guests seeking longer vacations. This increased occupancy reduces the gaps between bookings, ensuring a consistent revenue stream.
Moreover, extended stays mean less frequent changeovers, reducing wear and tear on the property and lowering maintenance costs. This extra time allows SandyBlue to build rapport with guests, often leading to repeat bookings and positive word-of-mouth referrals. SandyBlue also offers in-villa services, local tips and a dedicated guest experience team.
At SandyBlue, their tailored marketing strategies highlight the benefits of extended stays, attracting the right guests and ensuring high occupancy rates. In 2024 so far, SandyBlue has already seen a 53% increase in extended bookings from 2023. As autumn approaches, embrace the season with an extended stay in the Algarve and experience the best of this beautiful region.
