I don’t know how your average bloke feels about Valentine’s Day, but I like to fantasize about all the lavish, romantic things my long-awaited soulmate will one day gift me. I call it my Escapism Routine–I cyber window shop Louis Vuitton and Burberry for my dream wardrobe, I Zillow the most expensive zip codes in search of the mansion my partner will surely buy for me, and I zoom over to Ikea Dot Com to stock my imaginary mansion with the perfect living room set. They say it’s good to have a healthy imagination, and I’m sure my aggressive daydreaming qualifies. Of all my internet conjectures, though, nothing beats a little fictional vacation planning.
I could spend more hours than I’d comfortably admit perusing romantic estates in the Italian countryside, Los Angeles hills, or Mexican coast. My Pinterest vision board is almost bursting with fleshed-out escapes I’ll definitely be going on sometime soon with the beau, mark my words—and that’s when I turn to Airbnb luxury rentals.
What is Airbnb Luxe?
The online lodging site has made this exercise almost dangerously easy. In case you haven’t heard of it, Airbnb Luxe is a hub for the biggest, fanciest, most breathtaking villa and home vacation rentals that provide the best service money can buy. Every rental available on Luxe is vetted by the Airbnb team, evaluated across 300+ criteria in aspects ranging from design to function. Consider it superhosts on steroids—somehow, the property itself and the hospitality are even better (and obviously way more expensive).
So, whether you could use a little escapism yourself or you actually have a partner who can afford to rent one of these cozy estates—I’d like to invite you along for a little rehabilitative, if imaginary, retail therapy. Put on some nature sounds, imagine being spoiled beyond your wildest dreams, and absolutely pretend you have a spouse with the kind of income that supports jet-setting to one of these gorgeous spots.
Actually, you know what, while we’re pretending, let’s just say we’re going to all of them. (And if you don’t have to pretend, I seriously want to know… where did you find your partner? Asking for a friend.)
