Family villas on a complex

We've tried holidaying with friends and we're now not great mates with the friends we holidayed with...Would like to do a villa holiday, but on a shared complex where there are other families with kids for ours to play with, but so we can retreat to our own villa for privacy. Does anyone know of any companies / resorts that do this?

A friend has booked C'an Botana Villas in North Majorca (near Puerto Pollensa) for this summer.

Can book them through Hoseasons and others if you google it. It 12 villas with a shared pool.

Do you have any countries/areas in mind? in the past we have stayed with kids at the Balaia Golf Village Complex in Albuferia, Portugal.

It's about an hours drive from Faro airport. The complex is made up of a mixture of apartments and villas in its own grounds with 2 golf courses attached. There is obviously a lot of villas that are rented out for holiday use but seems to be quite a few that are used by owners each year.

I was really surprised for the price that we paid that we got the high quality we got - the apartment was v clean, the complex itself is set within a pine trees and has 7 pools throughout the complex - think of it more has a housing estate!

Worthwhile if you want to be in the same place as your mates but not in the same accommodation.

Onsite there are also tennis courts, gym and 2 restaurants and the centre of Albuferia is a short bus ride/taxi away.

The main beach is 5-10 mins walk across the road where there is a lovely restaurant both for lunchtime and evening meals.

Not my type of normal holiday at all - only second one I have been on with partners children but one they loved - we took them in 2009 and they went again in 2010 with mum so mustve been good!

We booked apartments through owners direct but there are lots also on holidaylettings or google the complex itself.
