The top 10 most expensive Airbnbs in the world

Prices read on Airbnb on 18 October 2026 for two adults, in euros: total cost of nights and taxes, divided by the number of nights, after discounts. Each home is priced over its most expensive period: New Year, mid-January or mid-July.

St Barts: Villa Sand Club at €59,060

Set on Flamands beach, Villa Sand Club blends modern and colonial architecture. It can be rented with 2, 3, 5 or 6 bedrooms: the five-bedroom version, for 10 guests, reaches €59,060 a night from 26 December 2026 to 2 January 2027.

New Year’s week comes to €413,423, taxes included. Round-the-clock concierge, housekeeping six days a week and a welcome on arrival are included, according to the listing. It is the only home in the top 10 not classed as Luxe.

Sole E Mare, Turks and Caicos, at €57,534

On Grace Bay, the great beach of the Turks and Caicos archipelago, Sole E Mare lines up ten suites for 20 guests. The decor draws on 1950s Miami glamour, around a 30-metre infinity pool.

An outdoor spa, a gym, plus pickleball (a kind of mini tennis) and basketball courts complete the house. In mid-January 2027, a night costs €57,534, including 22% local taxes; the listing mentions building work next door.

The Aerial: a private island for 32 guests

Buck Island, fifteen minutes by boat from Tortola airport in the British Virgin Islands, is rented in its entirety: 18 hectares and five groups of bedrooms, including two tipis open to the sea. Sixteen bedrooms sleep up to 32 guests, and no other visitors set foot on the island during the stay.

The price, €54,468 a night, is the same all year round. It covers meals, drinks, water sports and transfers. Per person, that works out at €1,702 a night; the listing bases this exclusive-use rate on a minimum of 15 guests.

June, St Barts: six bedrooms facing the ocean

Clinging to the hillside of Corossol, a former fishing village on St Barts, June rises over three levels linked by a lift. All six of its bedrooms look out to the ocean.

Punta Mita: the villa above the Four Seasons

On Mexico’s Pacific coast, this villa in the gated Cantiles enclave was built for the developer of Punta Mita. It overlooks the Four Seasons hotel and Las Cuevas beach from a rocky headland.

Five en-suite bedrooms sleep ten guests, around a large heated pool. At New Year, a night climbs to €38,119, taxes included; in July, it drops below €14,000.

Aspen: a penthouse with golf and a hot tub

In the heart of Aspen, Colorado’s chic ski resort, The Mother Lode spans 808 m² over three floors, plus a 158 m² roof terrace facing Aspen Mountain. A golf simulator, billiards and a cinema fill one floor.

The roof brings together a summer kitchen, hot tub and fire pits. In mid-January 2027, the penthouse costs €32,991 a night for twelve guests, almost 18% of it taxes.

In Bali, even the most expensive Luxe villa, in Pererenan, stays under €4,200 a night (€4,145). In the Maldives, the priciest listings are hotel rooms resold by intermediaries, at up to more than €48,000 a night: better to book directly with the hotel (see the hotel rooms sold by Airbnb).

Airbnb Luxe: what the price really covers

Airbnb launched Luxe on 25 June 2019 with more than 2,000 homes, which came from its 2017 acquisition of the agency Luxury Retreats. Every home passes an inspection of more than 300 points, from materials to kitchen equipment.

A dedicated trip designer, a personal travel adviser, organises the stay: chef, driver, childcare, boat trips. These services are usually charged on top of the nightly rate.

Worked out per person, the bill changes scale: €4,534 a night at June for twelve, €1,702 on The Aerial’s island for 32, meals included. See also the most expensive hotels in the world.
