Before I began traveling two years ago, I never saw the point of spending for luxury accommodations; a budget hotel or Airbnb room was good enough for me because you spend most of your time exploring anyway. However, that all changed once I was introduced to luxury travel during my time working for Sandals Resorts and traveling with my boyfriend who views accommodation as a part of the destination.
To me travel is a luxury and an opportunity to experience places that we wouldn’t normally in everyday life, so I do encourage everyone to add at least one high-end travel experience to their bucket list. We all work hard and should enjoy the fruit of our labor and hey who wouldn’t want to live like a millionaire for a few days?!
Last month the all-new “Airbnb Luxe” category launched an exclusive set of luxury villas and designer homes worldwide. Carefully selected and inspected, each home is evaluated on a 300-point system and includes 24/7 access to a trip designer that handles check-in, activity coordination and service arrangement like personal chefs or an on-site masseuse.
Yes, these homes are HELLA EXPENSIVE with an average cost of $2,100 per night and I don’t know about you, but I do not want to travel with 20+ people to split that cost. Instead, I decided to find the most luxurious homes in this new Luxe category for under $350/night.
