About Us

We offer a partner-first approach that combines strong earning potential with genuine peace of mind. Owners choose Solmar Villas because we provide guaranteed income options, no fees or commission, exceptional marketing exposure, and hands-on support throughout the season. Unlike many agencies, we build long-term partnerships, not short-term listings.

Yes. Solmar Villas is a fully bonded tour operator and a member of ATOL and ABTA. We are also part of DERTOUR UK, and the wider DERTOUR Group – one of the world’s leading travel groups with over 100 years’ experience – providing an additional layer of financial security for both owners and guests.

We offer two simple contract options to suit different owner needs:

· Guaranteed Income Contracts

· Adhoc (Flexible) Contracts

Your dedicated Contracts Manager will help you choose the option that works best for you.

Our Guaranteed Income contract offers complete peace of mind. You receive a fixed rental income regardless of how many weeks are sold, with monthly payments made on time throughout the contract period. Your villa is marketed exclusively by Solmar Villas during this time, giving it maximum exposure across all our marketing and distribution channels.

This option is ideal if you want predictable, steady income without worrying about occupancy.

An Adhoc contract provides flexibility and control. We mutually agree rental prices with you, and you can continue to use your villa or take your own bookings if you wish. Exclusivity with Solmar Villas is recommended but not required.

This option is ideal for owners who want greater flexibility while still benefiting from Solmar’s extensive marketing, reservations and guest support services.

No. There are no joining fees, no advertising costs and no commission. Everything we do to market and distribute your villa is included at no cost to you.

Payments are made reliably and on time. Guaranteed Income contracts are paid monthly across the agreed rental period. Payment terms for Adhoc contracts are agreed in advance, providing transparency and certainty.

We invest millions each year into marketing your villa across:

· Our award-winning website

· Google PPC and SEO (market-leading visibility)

· Weekly newsletters to over 70,000 subscribers

· Direct mail campaigns

· Social media and influencer partnerships

· Press coverage and PR activity

· National TV advertising

All marketing is handled in-house by our experienced team and comes at no cost to you.

In addition to the Solmar Villas website, your villa is distributed across a wide network of trusted partners. On average, each property features on at least 14 additional booking platforms and travel agent websites, ensuring maximum visibility and increased booking potential.

Yes. We partner with around 10,000 travel agents across the UK and Ireland, including major high street names, luxury operators, and homeworking networks. This significantly broadens your villa’s reach beyond direct bookings.

Yes. We provide professional photography at no cost for villas that work exclusively with Solmar Villas. High-quality imagery plays a key role in attracting bookings and maximising rental income.

No. Our experienced Reservations team handles all booking enquiries, while our Concierge team manages all post-booking guest communication. We make the process completely hassle-free.

Yes. In our key destinations, guests have access to local representatives who can assist with any issues during their stay, removing the need for owners to be involved.

You’ll have access to our dedicated Owners’ Portal, allowing you to track bookings, availability and key information at the click of a button.

We offer market-leading breakage insurance, meaning Solmar Villas pays out for any guest damages. This removes the need for security deposits and avoids delays or disputes.

You’ll need:

· A rental licence (where applicable)

· Public liability and contents insurance

· A completed safety self-assessment

Our safety team is on hand to guide you through the process and answer any questions.

We look for villas with private pools in appealing holiday locations, ideally within 1.6km of beaches, shops and restaurants.

All villas must meet our five-point quality criteria:

· High standards of cleaning and maintenance

· Fully equipped kitchen

· Home-from-home amenities

· Comfortable beds and quality linen

· Well-maintained outdoor spaces

These standards ensure guest satisfaction and repeat bookings.

Absolutely. Villas with additional features such as pool heating, hot tubs, games rooms or premium furnishings may also qualify for our Something Special or Luxe Collection, offering enhanced marketing and revenue opportunities.

Yes. Owners on Adhoc contracts retain flexibility to block out time for personal use. This can be discussed as part of your contract setup.

Exclusivity is required for Guaranteed Income contracts and recommended for Adhoc contracts, but not mandatory. We’ll discuss what works best for you.
