The 13 Most Beautiful Homes and Villas Where You Can Stay Around the World
From a welcoming Sicilian villa surrounded by lush gardens to a private party house on a Caribbean island, these are the most incredible stays around the world.
If you want to forgo the traditional hotel experience and stay in a private home or luxe villa on your next vacation, we certainly wouldn't blame you. These spots are a far cry from your mom's favorite bed and breakfast—they're secluded enough that you can truly unwind and relax with your friends or family, but they still offer modern amenities and feature well-appointed interiors that would rival those found in any decor magazine. From breathtaking views and alfresco dinners to unforgettable adventures and local experiences, these stunning private homes and villas await you on your next trip. Whether you're looking to escape to a party pad in the Caribbean, a nature-lover's retreat in Mexico, or a picturesque Italian estate, we've rounded up our inaugural list of the most beautiful villas and homes where you can stay around the world.
