Villa Victoria Most Expensive Airbnbs

Did you know that a villa featured in a Netflix show is now the most expensive Airbnb in the world? Known as The Casa Tau in Mexico, it costs $36,000 each night. But if you want a luxury stay without the reality TV fans around, do you know the available other places?

There are many luxury holidays left around the world for all your needs. Read on as we give our choice of the most expensive Airbnbs that you must visit. 

1. The Villa at the Estate of Yountville

Napa Valley is one of the most beautiful areas in California. A large expanse famous for its wine regions, you can also visit hot springs in the area for the ultimate relaxation. However, if you want to stay with a natural touch of class, visit the Villa at the Estate of Yountville. 

Carrying on the wine theme, the Villa has five bedrooms, each themed to a distinct grape variety. All have king-sized beds, and en-suite bathrooms, with the master bedroom having direct access to the pool area. 

The heated swimming pool and hot tub are on the property’s grounds. If you want to eat outside, the alfresco dining space has a fire pit for sitting, socializing, and drinking the night away. 

A range of staffing options is also available, including a daily chef breakfast and welcome reception.

All of this will cost around $45,000 for a three-night stay. 

2. Villa Victoria

Saint-Tropez has long had a reputation as a place for luxury stays. Situated on the stunning Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur in southern France, it has everything you need. You can spend the evening in bustling restaurants and bars or visit the winding, cobbled streets of the old town. 

Of course, you may want to opt for quiet and privacy. Villa Victoria, a 7-bedroom stone villa with unbeatable views over Pampelonne Bay and St. Tropez, can provide that. 

The property touts itself as more of a private resort than a holiday let. A chef will be on the site for six days of a seven-day stay. Other staff on the site include a villa host and housekeeper. 

Outside, the Villa boasts a heated pool along with a pool house. You can even arrive in style by landing on its helipad.

With a fantastic stone look that fits the look of buildings in the area, it will cost around $115,000 for a seven-night stay. 

3. Bellagio Grand

The Bellagio Grand is a French country club in the heart of Los Angeles. You will never feel so Hollywood as you sip cocktails looking over the fairways of the Bel-Air Country Club. 

Even if golfing on the private putting green is not for you, there is plenty more to keep you entertained. A private cinema, billiards room, and air hockey are all on the premises. Grand piano, gyms, and saunas are all included for some downtime. 

The main house has seven bedrooms, each with a mix of king and queen-sized beds. An attached guest suite provides two more rooms allowing you to house 16 guests.

A minimum stay of 30 days applies to the property, costing around $650,000. 

4. Charter-Inner Pas Yacht

When you think of going on holiday, Alaska does not often spring to mind. This is even less so when you want luxury, expensive Airbnbs. Yet you can combine luxe accommodation with great outdoor fishing experiences on this yacht trip. 

The Caledonia is a 95ft yacht that tows a 28ft fishing tender. It has four staterooms, each with a private bathroom. There are living rooms, dining rooms, and even a hot tub.

All this comes with a whole crew to attend to your every need. An onboard chef will serve gourmet meals. Of course, this comes second to the excellent fresh air and fishing you can get on the trip. 

Depending on your preference, the yacht can set off from Juneau or Sitka. It plots a course around the inner passages, giving you as slight motion as possible.

Stays are for a two-night minimum and will cost around $25,000.

5. Vegas Palms Penthouse

This is the largest penthouse in Las Vegas, and you can have the whole floor to yourself. The most expensive listing in the city resides on the 59th floor and provides 360-degree views of the city. You get 6,300 square feet indoors and 25,000 square feet of outdoor space. 

The outdoor terrace wraps around the living area, making it great for events or entertaining. It has a DJ booth, outdoor movie screen, kitchens, and an elevated hot tub. 

From the moment you arrive, the property will take your breath away. A lobby with zen-infused water gardens and stone greets you before an elevator takes you to the top floor.

Booking it for an evening will cost just over $4000. 

6. Drylaw House

Drylaw House has a pedigree of elegance and class that most Airbnb stays try hard to fake.

The property’s focal point is its substantial roaring fireplace, ideal for those cold Scottish evenings spent sipping whisky. If you want to venture outside, it is set in a five-acre secluded plot with perfectly manicured gardens. 

You can also rent the house for events and gatherings. With six social spaces, it can cater to small or large parties. The whole house can comfortably sleep up to 24 people should anyone want to stay. 

It costs around $4000 a night outside Edinburgh, Scotland. Inside are nine spacious bedrooms for all your guests.

7. Alan Pye Cottage

Nowhere is as remote as New Zealand when traveling the world; if you want to do it in style, this cottage is the place to be. It does not have the sprawling space of most luxury stays but provides two bedrooms and houses four guests. Despite being small, this intimate stay is packed with luxury features and trimmings for an excellent retreat. 

Each of the bedrooms comes with a dressing room and fireplace. They have ensuite bathrooms and share a well-equipped kitchen. Outside is an infinity pool and a terrace with an outdoor lounge room. 

Most beautiful are its views of the dramatic Waikato River. A one-night stay can cost $9500. 

8. Waterside Casita

In world travel, few coastal views are as dramatic and sweeping as the Baja California Sur, Mexico. Situated in San José del Cabo, the floor-to-ceiling windows will let you take in the delicate sands and coastal waters. Three bedrooms each have a king bed and standalone rain showers in their en-suite bathrooms. 

Breakfast comes complimentary at the nearby Casero Restaurant. You can eat in the fully equipped kitchen or cook lunch on the terrace barbeque. Set on the Viceroy Grounds, you can head out to the shops, bars, and restaurants for entertainment. 

This is an ideal spot for a beachside getaway. Prices are around $6500 a night. 

9. Chalet Wolgan

Chalet Wogan is perfect for a winter ski retreat. Situated in the French Alps near the town of Megève, it provides easy access to the slopes and all the bars and shopping you could want. 

After skiing, you can relax in front of the large fire in this wood-paneled lodge. Put on the TV and refresh your muscles in the sizable hot tub. There is even an office if you need to do some work while on your vacation. 

There are six bedrooms, and each can house 12 guests. With 3,000 square feet of living space, they have double beds and en suite bathrooms.

A night staying here will cost you $5500 though this will rise in peak ski seasons and be lower in summer. 

10. Ocean View Villa

Ocean View Villa sits between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, in Chileno Bay. It is an excellent spot for exploring Los Cabos, with its exciting beachfront and golf courses. 

The Villa itself has a spectacular open-plan design that invites the outside in. Clad in natural wood, it has designer furniture and high-end electronics for your stay. 

There are three bedrooms in all, two of which are master ones. These feature king beds, walk-in closets, and ocean views. You can cook in the fully equipped kitchen with granite worktops and state-of-the-art appliances.

The Red Sea sells itself as a year-round destinati The Red Sea sells itself as a year-round destination. Winter is when it is actually good.

The destination's own published figure is an average temperature of 23°C with wind speeds between nine and sixteen miles an hour. July on this coast is not a beach holiday — it is a very good hotel with a pool and a reason to stay inside between eleven and four.

In the water, PADI's own guidance for the Saudi Red Sea puts temperatures between twenty-one and twenty-eight degrees across the year, with visibility of twenty to fifty metres. Winter sits at the cooler end of that range and the clearer end of the visibility one, which is the trade-off every diver would take.

The Al Wajh Lagoon, inside the Ummahat archipelago, is the primary diving area, and the destination's operations team has surveyed and vetted roughly thirty recreational sites within it.

Every luxury hotel in Saudi Arabia has a spa. Almo Every luxury hotel in Saudi Arabia has a spa. Almost all of them have three or five treatment rooms, a hammam, a menu, and a therapist who is very good at their job.

None of that is wellness in the sense the industry means it, and the distinction is not snobbery. It is the difference between an amenity you book on Tuesday afternoon and a reason to fly somewhere.

A programmed wellness property does something structurally different. It assesses you, it prescribes a course of several days, it controls the food, and it measures something at the end.

Until May 2026 Saudi Arabia did not have one. It now has two, and the category is about four months old.

Miraval The Red Sea opened on Shura Island on 15 May 2026: a hundred and eighty rooms, suites and villas, adults only, all inclusive, with a three-thousand-square-metre spa.

Six Senses Southern Dunes was designed as a wellness property from the plan up rather than fitted with a spa afterwards, and remains the best-integrated one — building, location and programme designed together.

In AlUla the setting does more work than the equipment, which is a reasonable division of labour. Banyan Tree's spa facades are compacted sand in horizontal coloured bands echoing the rock strata behind them.

The word season is doing a lot of work. It suggest The word season is doing a lot of work. It suggests something that arrives, like weather, and then goes.

What actually happens in Riyadh from October is that a government authority opens eleven purpose-built entertainment zones across the city, runs them for roughly five months, and then closes them again. The scale is closer to a temporary industry than to a festival.

The numbers the organisers publish are the fastest way to understand it. At the launch of the sixth edition in October 2025, the General Entertainment Authority put the previous year's attendance at more than twenty million visitors from over a hundred and thirty-five countries, valued the Riyadh Season brand at 3.2 billion dollars, and cited more than twenty-five thousand direct jobs, over two thousand one hundred participating companies — ninety-five per cent of them local — and four thousand two hundred private-sector contracts.

Those are not festival figures. They are the figures of an industry that switches on in October and off in March.

The five steel wings rising out of Zayed National The five steel wings rising out of Zayed National Museum look like sculpture and are in fact plumbing.

They are thermal chimneys. Air heats at their tips, negative pressure builds on the sheltered side of each aerofoil, and the resulting draw pulls hot air out of the atrium below while cool air arrives from ducts buried underground. The building breathes through them. That is the whole idea, and it is why the museum looks the way it does.

Norman Foster put it plainly when it opened: the building is an expression of sustainability, with five aerodynamic wings that are an integral part of the environmental system, acting as thermal chimneys and drawing cool air through the public spaces.

The metaphor is falconry. The mechanism is a wind tower running backwards — the traditional Gulf barjeel catches breeze at height and pushes it down into a room; this inverts that.

It opened on 3 December 2025, a project spanning roughly fifteen years, and for most of that time the most conspicuous unfinished building on Saadiyat. Foster + Partners won the commission in a competition in 2007.

In 2007 Saadiyat Island was sand. Today it holds In 2007 Saadiyat Island was sand.

Today it holds the Louvre Abu Dhabi, teamLab Phenomena, the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum, with Guggenheim Abu Dhabi opening on 11 December 2026. Five major institutions inside a few hundred metres of each other, four of them opened in the last eighteen months.

No city has ever tried to do this in one go. The nearest comparison is Berlin's Museumsinsel, which took a century. Saadiyat has done it in under twenty years.

The Louvre's dome is a hundred and eighty metres across and weighs seven and a half thousand tonnes, resting on four piers you cannot see. Above it, seven thousand eight hundred and fifty stars across eight layers. The effect has a name: the rain of light.

The interesting question is not whether the buildings are good. They are. It is whether a cultural district can be assembled the way a portfolio is.

In the old town of AlUla there is a sundial. Resid In the old town of AlUla there is a sundial. Residents used it to mark the start of the agricultural season and the arrival of Al-Marba'aniyah, the coldest stretch of the year — the point at which planting begins.

It is called a tantora, and the largest festival in Saudi Arabia's cultural calendar is named after it.

That is not decorative naming. Winter at Tantora runs in exactly the weeks the sundial marks, because those are the weeks AlUla is habitable in the middle of the day and the weeks the oasis has always come alive. The festival did not choose a slot in the market. It inherited one.

The dates, as published by Experience AlUla: 17 December 2026 to 9 January 2027. Twenty-four nights spanning both Christmas week and the new year, which is deliberate.

Maraya carries the headline concerts — the mirror-clad hall in Ashar Valley, holder of the Guinness record for the largest mirrored building in the world at 9,740 square metres of mirrored surface. Five hundred seats. It is the single strongest argument for coming in this fortnight rather than any other.

Shorfat Tantora runs rooftop and balcony performances beside the Old Town. Smaller, closer, and the better room if you dislike arenas.
