One of the best parts of planning a trip is hunting for the perfect accommodation, and Airbnb is a go-to for finding properly unique places to stay. Whether we’re window shopping or weighing up our options, many of us spend ages wishlisting homes on the app – and now the platform has revealed which properties have been wishlisted most ahead of the summer season.
From a five-bed jungle oasis on the northeastern coast of Mexico to a striking designer micro-chalet tucked away in Quebec, there’s sure to be some solid summer inspo in this list. Just take a look at the homes below.
These are the most sought-after homes on Airbnb for the summer
Sicilian Mountain Oasis, Nicosia, Italy
This Sicilian cottage is nestled in the Nebrodi mountains and is centred around eco-friendly hosting. You can even request a cooking class or a session of pilates.
Seafront Villa with Private Beach, Vasiliko, Greece
Just over an hour’s drive from Athens Airport is this heavenly, contemporary villa that sleeps up to eight people and boasts panoramic sea views.
Plenty of Florida homes come with a plunge pool, but this one also includes a barbeque, tiki hut and hot tub – all the summer essentials, basically.
Luxury Villa in the Smokies, Tennessee, US
The views that this place has of the Smokies is enough of a selling point, but the dazzling al-fresco terrace, theatre room and jacuzzi all top it off spectacularly.
Studio with Endless Views, Cape Town, South Africa
We’re big fans of Cape Town, and this studio apartment comes with some magnificent views of the city at the Helderberg mountains.
Mountain-top Micro Chalet, Lac-Beauport, Canada
Quebec might not be your first thought when it comes to a summer vacay, but this remarkably stylish home is just the place to entice you into a refreshing holiday this season.
Breathtaking Villa, Tulum, Mexico
With its floating staircase, boho-style decor and one of the only swimming pools in the area, this ‘Gram-worthy villa lives up to its name.
Jungle Oasis, Akumal, Mexico
Holidaying in the jungle might sound like more faff than it’s worth – but not at this place. Just 20 minutes from Playa Del Carmen, this home is nestled in its own little jungle, so expect to see monkeys, coatis and lots of vibrant birds.
Private Pool Villa, Ubud, Indonesia
Watching the sunset is a summer must, but the chance to do it from your own private infinity pool has a certain je ne sais quoi. Check out that view.
