Airbnb “Luxe” listings are a grade above the rest, with 5-star properties and accommodations to match. They call to visitors who desire a luxurious vacation away from the typical resort.

The Cochise Villa sits on over an acre of land just outside of Scottsdale, within a 15-mile drive to four different golf courses in the area.

Outdoor amenities include a saltwater pool, hot tub, al fresco dining areas, and games tables. Inside, guests can enjoy a crystal-stocked bar, in-home gym and steam room, and opulent main bath.

Tucked in the hills of Camelback Mountain, La Casa Con Vista is an open-concept getaway that boasts views of the Phoenix city skyline. Staying in seems easy enough, though, with an infinity pool and hot tub, backyard putting green, and spacious modern common areas. One reviewer gives compliments to the personal chef recommended by the concierge during their stay. A trip designer, or concierge, service is available in Airbnb Luxe rentals.
Landscape architect Donna Winters is the mind behind the lush greens and rugged cacti that form a unique botanical oasis at The Brexley in Scottsdale. Spacious patios are shaded by sprawling vines, and romantic lanterns hang above the outdoor dining area. These natural features compliment more modern design elements on the inside, and the hosts recommend setting either scene with a selection from the curated record collection in the den. Large cinder-block walls make the space feel secluded. I imagine you feel the luxury as soon as you step through the custom wood front door.

Philippine mahogany, Italian rose marble, Indian slate floors… Frank Lloyd Wright, you’ve done it again. The Norman Lykes House in Phoenix was designed by Wright to blend right into the hills of the desert. While this home only accommodates up to six guests, the open floor plan and three full bathrooms give guests adequate space. You might be hard-pressed to find a bad view (or a corner) in the house, as the round architectural design gives the windows a panoramic effect. A crescent pool completes the shape around back. Could be great for your next luxury vacation, or the next installation of the Dune films.

Two pools, tennis courts, putting greens, and a movie theater. It feels cheesy to write “but wait, there’s more!” But there is. Inside this Scottsdale villa, visitors are greeted by opulent paintings and marble details. Multiple crystal chandeliers and a grand piano occupy common living spaces. The outdoor recreational spaces accommodate a range of family interests. The in-home movie theater is adorned with classic movie posters and red velvet curtains, complete with a large wooden bar in the back. Because if you’re going for luxury, why not go big?
