12 of the Most Luxe Homes on Airbnb Around the World

Dreaming of a one-of-a-kind vacation in one of the world’s most extraordinary homes? Find the best of the best on Airbnb Luxe, the highest distinction that an Airbnb property can earn (less than 5% of listings get it!). These properties must go through an extremely thorough vetting process and pass a rigorous 300-point inspection. The result is an elite lineup of luxury rentals with five-star everything—and the added bonus of complete privacy. 

You’ll find world-class villas, mansions, castles, and sprawling estates. All come with their own dedicated staff or a trip designer. Trip designers are part of the Airbnb concierge staff, and they can arrange vacation add-ons including transportation, childcare, laundry service, a waitstaff, private chef, massage therapists, and more. (Your trip designer can also plan a customized itinerary of outings and adventures.)

Ahead, we rounded up some of the very best Airbnb Luxe properties around the world, with destinations including France, Italy, and Morocco, and cities like Los Angeles, Los Cabos, Mexico, and more.
