In-the-know travelers are starting to book luxury villas for their 2010 summer vacations. One-stop luxury travel resource Paradizo.com has partnered with the top rental agencies offering the very best villa rentals around the world, from beachfront villas with access to a tropical beach to magnificent villas with a pool in the living room.

According to many industry insiders, the vacation rental market is on the rise. Lodging industry expert Glenn Haussman recently reported on the “explosive growth” of vacation rentals in recent years.

Spectacular properties are still available for guests seeking the ultimate 2010 summer holiday. Now, it’s time to reserve as some of the most desirable villas are already fully booked. “The popular summer months are booking fast for 2010, with 25% of properties already booked-up for next summer. So those dreaming of spending their next holiday in a beautiful 400-year-old ‘finca’ or living the life of Riley in a newly-built, stylish mansion, need to book early!” said Paradizo’s partner Mallorca Farmhouses.

Group bookings are on the rise for holiday homes large enough to share a fantastic vacation with family and friends. Many of even the most lavish vacation rental properties offer prices that, when divided among a group of 10 or 12, can cost less than or equal to a traditional hotel room. More often than not, luxury villa rentals also come with 5-star services like a private chef, concierge or guest manager. If you require additional services, the Paradizo Team can help you find the highest quality service providers, personal chefs, helicopter and jet charters or limousine services.

Reflecting the current economic setting, many luxury travel professionals commented on new bargains, noting that travelers are looking for ways to save money. It’s expected that value for price will be the top priority in 2010.

“There are great early booking offers already available for 2010 villa rentals in prime locations,” said Ollivier Jacq, Paradizo’s founder. Many luxury villa brokers are offering early-bird “Stay for 7, Pay for 5″ packages that include special extras.

Where are trendy travelers headed? Industry experts foresee Europe enjoying a rebound for the jet set crowd. It’s a safe bet for the more conservative traveler but also offers new hotspots like Sardinia and Croatia. There’s also renewed interest in old favorites like Ibiza, Provence, Tuscany and Mykonos in Europe and Turks & Caicos, Bahamas and St. Barts in the Caribbean.
