When you dream of the perfect vacation, what do you imagine? A view of the ocean, the green hills of the Italian countryside or the stone walls of castles? Airbnb is a great choice for staying in affordable and quirky houses, but our selection took the whole idea of "renting" to a whole new level. Here is a selection of luxury houses, villas, caves in (exotic) destinations where you can actually afford to stay in them.
1. Villa in Bali (151 euros per night)
Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia
Close to Bali's most popular resort town, the private villa offers peace and quiet throughout the day. With three bedrooms, it is ideal for six friends and thus promises much more fun than separate hotel rooms.

2. A house in Mexico (85 euros per night)
Yelapa, Jalisco, Mexico
If we really want to get away from it all, we can head to the fishing village of Yelapa in Mexico, which is only accessible by water taxi. The owner is a renowned gourmet chef who, among other things, designed a fantasy kitchen for guests. The house has a swimming pool, and the beach is also close by.
