Villa Design Combined with Homestay Business

As the resort real estate market continues to grow rapidly, more and more homeowners are not only seeking to own a beautiful villa for private living but also looking to unlock its commercial potential. The concept of designing villas for both living and homestay rental has emerged as an ideal solution—offering a luxurious living space while enabling flexible leasing for passive income generation.

More than just a mix of residential and rental functions, a successful homestay villa requires smart design, aesthetic appeal, and exceptional amenities to satisfy both owners and guests. So how do you create a “two-in-one” villa that’s both beautiful and effective? Let’s explore the key factors below.

1. The Trend of Combining Villas with Homestays

This villa–homestay hybrid model is increasingly popular in tourist destinations, suburban areas, coastal cities, and mountain regions. Rather than building a villa solely for personal use, many homeowners now choose to dedicate part of the property to short-term rentals.

Popular design trends include:

• Resort villas with 2 to 4 guest rooms specifically for rental
• Separate entrances for private living and guest access
• Integration of nature, pools, and BBQ areas to enhance the guest experience

2. Benefits of Designing Villas for Homestay Business

2.1. Maximizing Real Estate Value

Your villa is no longer just a living space—it becomes a steady income-generating asset through short-term, long-term, or seasonal rentals.

2.2. Ensuring Privacy for Homeowners

Smart layouts ensure complete separation between family living areas and guest zones, offering maximum comfort and privacy for the owner.

2.3. Boosting Long-Term Profitability

Vietnam’s booming tourism industry is driving demand for unique, stylish, and comfortable homestays, helping your villa maintain high occupancy rates and stable revenue.

3. Popular Homestay Villa Design Styles

3.1. Indochine-Style Villas

A blend of Asian heritage and French elegance, ideal for guests who appreciate artistic and cultural environments.

3.2. Modern Resort Villas

Open, minimalist layouts with natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors—perfect for young travelers, families, and vacation groups.

3.3. Countryside/Garden Villas

Green, breezy spaces with natural landscapes—highly popular in suburban and eco-tourism locations.

4. Key Considerations When Designing a Villa for Homestay Use

To ensure the villa operates efficiently and delivers a great experience for both owners and guests, consider the following:

• Clear zoning between private residence and guest rental areas
• Functional optimization for each space: bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms...
• Durable, easy-to-maintain furnishings with cohesive interior styles
• Safety, security, and privacy for all occupants
• Homestay-ready facilities: parking, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, water systems, fire protection, etc.
