NEW YORK, NY (February 3, 2026) — Villas of Distinction, the award-winning leader in luxury villa rentals, has partnered with Approach Guides to launch a fully integrated marketing solution for travel advisors, becoming the first villa rental company to deliver pre-built content experiences and a personalized version of its consumer-facing website. 

Through this partnership, Villas of Distinction is empowering travel advisors with easy-to-use, personalized content that helps them inspire clients, promote exclusive offers and convert leads more effectively, without the technical complexity that often burdens smaller teams.

“At Villas of Distinction, our advisor partners are at the heart of everything we do,” said Steve Lassman, Vice President of Agency Relations at Villas of Distinction. “Approach Guides allows us to share the full strength of our brand, content, and expertise with the advisor community in a way that is seamless and personal. It’s a meaningful investment, giving advisors the opportunity to bring their own brand to market, strengthen their presence with clients, and drive new business while selling our villas with confidence.”

Why It Matters for Advisors

With this launch, travel advisors can now:

• Instantly co-brand and share beautifully designed marketing pages (“content experiences”) that highlight Villas of Distinction’s most compelling properties, offers, destinations and guest benefits
• Personalize every experience with their own branding, contact information and calls to action
• Link seamlessly to their own version of villasofdistinction.com, featuring real-time availability, pricing and private lead generation

“Villas of Distinction is setting a new standard in the villa space,” said Jennifer Raezer, co-founder and CMO of Approach Guides. “By launching both content experiences and a co-branded website, they’re giving advisors our most powerful and complete solution — one that’s not only elegant and intuitive, but also engineered to drive results.
