The Most Amazing Luxury Airbnbs to Dream About

I don’t know how your average bloke copes with a nine-to-five, but I certainly wouldn’t have survived every desk job (with all the emails to read and pencils to push) without what I call my Escapism Routine. I cyber window shop Louis Vuitton and Burberry for my dream wardrobe (that I then more realistically attempt to recreate at H&M, but that’s beside the point). I Zillow the most expensive zip codes in search of the mansion I’ll surely buy once my millions roll in. And I zoom over to Ikea Dot Com to stock my imaginary mansion with the perfect living room set. They say it’s good to have a healthy imagination, and I’m sure my aggressive daydreaming qualifies. Of all my internet conjectures, though, nothing beats a little fictional vacation plannin—and that’s when I turn to browsing Airbnb luxury rentals.

The online lodging site has made this exercise almost dangerously easy. I could spend more hours than I’d comfortably admit perusing estates in the French countryside, Malibu hills or the bustle of Shanghai. My Pinterest vision board is almost bursting with fleshed-out escapes I’ll definitely be going on sometime soon, mark my words.

So, whether you’re facing down another day, desperately trying to get coffee into your system before you have another conversation about how yes, the A/C is a little colder than normal, and no, you don’t know who’s in charge of that or you’re working on a serious case of what I affectionately call Work From Home Hunch—I’d like to invite you along for a little rehabilitative, if imaginary, retail therapy. Put on some nature sounds, gleefully ignore those six emails from Martha in accounting, and absolutely pretend you have the kind of income that supports jet-setting to one of these gorgeous spots.

Actually, you know what, while we’re pretending, let’s just say we’re going to all of them.
