Disney’s Riviera Resort Three-Bedroom Grand Villa (Photos and Specifics)
When it comes to luxurious accommodations, Disney’s Riviera Resort’s three-bedroom grand villa is worthy of consideration. This spacious villa comes with all the bells and whistles. Don’t be surprised if you spend as much time here as in the parks.
Below, we’ll preview the 3-bedroom grand villa at Disney’s Riviera. For reference, this resort is a Disney Vacation Club Resort. When it comes to a DVC Resort, units range from deluxe studios with small kitchenettes to tremendous suites with multiple bedrooms. These suites offer the conveniences of a home, like kitchens and multiple baths.
For us, Riviera’s grand villa tops the cake of all the suites we’ve visited at Walt Disney World. We even prefer it over the Bora Bora Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian, which are also impressive. This unit has a lot going for it that you won’t find just anywhere!
Here are a few of the specifics:
- Sleeps up to 12 adults
- Preferred View (Views of Courtyard, Lake, Landscaping, Pool, or Skyliner)
- Bedroom One (King Bed)
- Bedroom Two (2 Queen-size Beds)
- Bedroom Three (2 Queen-size Beds)
- Living Room (1 Queen-Size Sleeper Sofa)
- Full Kitchen with Island
- Formal Dining Room
- Three Full Bathrooms
- Laundry Room (Washer and Dryer)
- Approximately 2500 square feet
*The three-bedroom grand villas have lake-facing views. You may have additional views of the courtyard, landscaping, or pool from some rooms. This unit does not have standard views or views of parking areas. The lake views are stunning. They look out to Barefoot Bay and vibrant Disney’s Caribbean Beach in the distance.
We’ll start with the living area’s large, open floor plan. Coffered ceilings and paneled walls contribute to the luxurious feel of the unit. A large sofa has a built-in sleeper. However, this unit does not feature a queen-size pull-down bed or single pull-down bed like the one and two-bedroom units.
The unit reminds me of a modern-day penthouse with high-end furnishings and finishes.
A formal dining room features a table with chairs for up to twelve guests. Can you imagine sitting at the table for a meal?
We could sit at each end of the table and slide things back and forth. You could say, “Hey, Disney! Play A Pirate’s Life for Me,” and music would fill the air. I can’t help giggling thinking about it. Yo ho, yo ho!
Since the grand villa has a full kitchen, you’ll likely want groceries delivered. Cabinet and drawers are stocked with small appliances, dishes, pots, pans, glasses, utensils, and silverware.
You’ll also find plenty of counter space, a full-size refrigerator, a built-in microwave, and a cooktop with an oven.
A long island makes up the opposite side of the galley-style kitchen. It has a dishwasher and sink. Bar seating is available on the outer portion.
A pair of large double doors to the far right of the kitchen open to reveal a full-size washer and dryer.
The grand villa has a split floor plan. A master suite takes up one entire side of the unit while the other two bedrooms sit opposite. Below is a photo of the first guest suite. This room has two queen beds and a private balcony.
It’s a gorgeous space that’s comparable to the size of an average hotel room.
This bedroom has a full bath that sits across the hallway. So it’s not technically en suite. It features a vanity area, a walk-in shower, and a separate water closet.
Next door, the second bedroom is a bit larger than the previous guest room. You might notice it has a separate door out to the balcony. Benches sit at the foot of each bed.
The artwork in this room was from Wall-E.
This guest bedroom has an en suite bath. It was a little smaller than the previous one. However, it features a tub with a shower combination.
Below is another look at the layout.
Lastly, the primary suite sits on the opposite side of the three-bedroom grand villa.
It’s a magnificent master suite with a king-size bed.
Plenty of closet space is available, along with a chair and ottoman.
As mentioned earlier, the grand villas all have a preferred view. You might see views of the courtyard, lake, Riviera Pool, or possibly the Disney Skyliner and Epcot in the distance.
One side of the primary bedroom looked out to the pools at Disney’s Riviera Resort. That’s the Beau Soleil Pool in the photo below.
Here is an additional view of Barefoot Bay and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
Of course, with every lovely master bedroom comes an en suite master bath. This one didn’t disappoint.
A large soaking tub sits to itself.
This bath features a large walk-in master shower with rainfall and detachable showerheads.
A large double vanity provides plenty of counter space and storage underneath.
As far as hotel rooms go, I think we can all agree that you could do much worse.
Overall, the three-bedroom grand villa felt very French, with hints of Italian details here and there. We really enjoyed the opportunity to see it but given the hefty price tag, we probably won’t be staying in this particular unit anytime soon.
As for Disney’s Riviera Resort, I encourage you to plan a stay here or, at the very least, visit for dining during your next trip. The resort has a variety of room categories. We have photo tours of the following rooms:
- Disney’s Riviera Tower Studio (For Two)
- Deluxe Studio at Disney’s Riviera
- One-Bedroom Villa at Riviera
- Two-Bedroom Villa at Riviera
Additionally, we have a review of the Riviera Resort. For dining reservations at the Riviera, you might enjoy the following:
It’s no secret that all the restaurants at Disney’s Riviera are phenomenal. You might not need so many groceries for that grand villa stay, after all! I know I would end up ordering from Primo Piatto multiple times. Their lemon ricotta pancakes are delicious!
