Send the kids across the lawn with a soccer ball while the adults settle in with a drink in the shade. Casa Mota is a single-storey villa in Las Toronjas, set on the golf fairway, with a back lawn wide enough that the game never reaches the house. It sleeps eight across four bedrooms, with a housekeeper and an included cook handling all the meals.

The pool curves along the terrace, with a built-in spa at one end for whoever's finished swimming. The covered loggia sits a few steps from the water, with a long table set for lunch the moment anyone's hungry. Inside, the great room opens through glass on every side, and a mature tree grows in the central courtyard the living space wraps around. Someone's usually at the kitchen island putting drinks and snacks together while the kids move between the pool and the trampoline on the lawn. By evening dinner comes out to the terrace, and no one has been inside long enough to mind.

The Racquet Center and Minitas Beach are both a short ride through the resort, and Teeth of the Dog, ranked the Caribbean's top course by the World Golf Awards, tees off a short cart ride away alongside The Links. Casa Mota is the villa to book when the trip is built around the kids as much as the golf, with the pool and the lawn a few steps from the same table.
