Mediterranean villa specialist SPL launched to the trade earlier this year as an accommodation-only supplier.

Its portfolio of more than 900 villa spans more than 100 destinations across Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, with options at various price points.

However, the new agreement will allow agents to book flight-inclusive SPL villa packages through Travelpack.

A joint Travelpack-SPL brochure will be available shortly, said the partners.

Edward Frampton–Fell, SPL Villas managing director, said: “Providing flight-inclusive holiday packages has been part of our business plan and strategy from day one to give consumers the option of a fully-inclusive holiday booking.

"By launching a partnership with one of the industry’s most agent-friendly brands, Travelpack, we are increasing the strength of our offering for travel agents looking to find their clients the perfect villa holiday package to meet all their wants and needs.”

A seven-night stay in the four-bedroom, three-bathroom Villa Chimo in Moraira on the Costa Blanca, including flights, leads in from £629pp (based on eight sharing).
