Incredible Airbnbs Around the World Worth Bookmarking

Whether you’re looking to travel locally for a short weekend getaway or plan a more extensive overseas sojourn, Airbnb has a vast visual catalog of beautiful and thoughtfully designed rental homes. With approximately 6 million stays throughout 220 countries, Airbnb boasts some seriously supreme options—from modest and minimalist abodes to lavish and luxe lodging that makes for a memorable retreat.

When you’re hunting for one of the best Airbnbs, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: Home is truly where the heart (and wifi) is, so it’s imperative that the space you book offers all the trimmings you require. Perhaps you yearn to escape from the hustle and bustle of life, or maybe actually prefer to be in the mix and where all the hip happenings are. Maybe you want to vacation in a space that’s super Insta-worthy (these days, many Airbnbs are intentionally designed and furnished to encourage a photo opp). Or maybe you desire to purposely travel to a destination where you’d prefer to completely detach from social media, power down your devices, and fully and tangibly be in the present—either way, we’ve got you covered with what aligns with your various tastes. Below, the best Airbnbs worth bookmarking for fantasy or future stays.
