Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice on luxury accommodation perks when you book with Airbnb, as you’ll find plenty of lavish beachfront condos and villas suited for A-list celebrities. Splurge and book a villa all to yourself or stay with a group of your friends and enjoy luxury on-site amenities like chef-prepared meals, spa services, sparkling oceanfront pools and fully-equipped kitchens.
