AIRBNB'S THAT MAKE US WANT TO PACK OUR BAGS AND TRAVEL THE WORLD

It's that time of year when you're daydreaming of holidays in the sun and escaping to a place where "life" is just a distant memory. Unless you're one of the lucky ones who can actually plan a group holiday with your friends (I've tried and failed multiple times) or family, then you're stuck in your position for the mean time. It's also hard seeing Bella Hadid travel from Greece to Paris in the same month, but not everyone can live like that... or can they? 



As someone who isn't able to go abroad this year, my plan was to go back back home to Gibraltar but life got in the way. Therefore, my only option was to sit at home, eat some brownies and plan my dream holiday if I was able to go abroad this summer. From Indonesia, to Spain, to Mexico, here are my favrouite Airbnb's of the moment across the globe. Just to mention, my all-time favourite destination is Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (even though I've never been there). I didn't find any Airbnb's in Brazil that stood out to me and so I didn't include it. Read my blog post below:

INDONESIA



This villa is situated in Singaraja, Bali in Indonesia. On average, the room costs around £105 per night. But with those views alone, money well spent. Villa Sanglung, which is surrounded by nature with stunning, uninterrupted ocean views is the perfect place to relax and enjoy cooling breezes from its elevated position. This is Bali from 25 years ago.


UNITED STATES



This house is situated in Pioneer, CA. The Off-grid it House brings together raw industrial aesthetics with the tactics of green design to forge a new home in the sunbaked wilds of the California high desert. The architecture and surroundings have entirely drawn me into this home and so I'd love to stay here sometime in the future. I'd also like to point out this house could be the scene for a horror movie seeing as it's in the middle of nowhere and someone could easily be watching you, but hey-ho. It's adventure. Also, this may not be the exact house but Chiara Ferragni filmed her "New Beggining" video in a similar location (Her video is: https://youtu.be/LCnWm8n17EE). 


INDONESIA


This bamboo house is situated in Bali, Indonesia. Selected as one of Airbnb's top picks, Sunrise house has been delighting its guests and celebrities from all over. In such a tranquil setting, often with a gentle breeze blowing, our guests are soothed into sitting back, relaxing and marveling.


SPAIN


This house is situated in the Balearic Islands in Spain. The Herce Property is located on the coast of Llucmajor in Majorca and its fine architectural build offers a truely unique experience. A private infinity pool and huge windows orientated to the south allow for unparalleled sunset views every evening.


MEXICO 


This villa is located in Baja Sir, Mexico. The multi-million dollar luxury villa is beautifully situated overlooking the Sea of Cortez. This newly built elegant, Tuscan style villa has more than 5000 sq. ft. of covered area and a beautiful Jacuzzi spa that spills into one of the largest beach entry style heated swimming pools in Santa Carmela. Here you will find your own palapa, lush landscaping, covered patios and built in gas barbecue.

NEW ZEALAND



This house is situated in Queenstown, New Zealand. Altitude Luxury is architecturally and interior designed to encapsulate Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu & the spectacular mountain views. Located only 6 mins drive from Queenstown centre, close to walking/hiking tracks, Moke Lake & mountain biking trails.
