Why Choose a .villas Domain?
The .villas extension was launched in 2014 by Donuts (now Identity Digital) as part of its property-focused family of new gTLDs alongside .apartments, .condos and .rentals. It speaks directly to the high-end holiday rental and luxury real estate market, where the word "villa" carries weight that generic .com listings simply cannot match. The TLD is unrestricted, so any business or individual selling, letting or marketing villas can register one without paperwork or accreditation checks.
Ideal for:
- Luxury holiday let agencies and villa rental platforms
- Estate agents specialising in second homes in Spain, Italy, Greece or the Caribbean
- Independent villa owners marketing direct bookings
- Concierge and villa management companies
- Travel bloggers and photographers focused on luxury stays
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .villas domain.
- Operated by Identity Digital, one of the largest new gTLD registries.
- Some short, generic or location-based names (e.g. ibiza.villas, tuscany.villas) are reserved as premium tier and carry higher registry pricing.
- Registration terms run from 1 to 10 years.

Frequently asked questions about .villas
Anyone. There are no eligibility restrictions, accreditation requirements or paperwork. You don't need to own a villa or run a registered business to buy one — sole traders, agencies, owners and developers worldwide can all register .villas names on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to the usual registry policies.
You can register a .villas domain for any term between 1 and 10 years. Many owners pick a longer term up front to lock in the name and avoid the risk of forgetting to renew, which matters more for premium-tier names that would be expensive to recover after expiry.
The registry classifies short, generic and high-value location keywords (such as country and resort names) as premium domains. These carry a higher one-off registration fee and often a higher annual renewal. Our domain search will flag any premium pricing clearly before you check out, so there are no surprises.
Yes. As long as the domain is at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer, you can move it across. You'll need the EPP authorisation code from your current registrar and the domain must be unlocked. The transfer adds a year to your registration term.
After expiry the domain enters a renewal grace period of around 30 days during which you can renew at the standard price. After that it moves into a redemption period with a higher recovery fee, then is eventually released back to the public. We send renewal reminders well in advance to help you avoid this.
