Even in famously expensive California, you may get a beautiful, modest Airbnb apartment for less than $100 per night. However, if you want to truly live it up in the Golden State and you have the money to pay up to $5,000 each day for the privilege, you may do so for a night, a weekend, or even longer if you can afford it.
The most luxurious homes on Airbnb are only available via its “Luxe” listings, where wealthy renters may reserve some of the most spectacular estates, villas, and mansions in California and throughout the globe.
The state’s most opulent Airbnb properties are included in the list below.

Villa in Beverly Hills

The eight bedrooms and 8.5 bathrooms of Chateau de Laurel, a French Baroque home in Beverly Hills, can accommodate 16 guests between the main house and the guest house. The magnificent house has a pool and hot tub combo, a wine cellar, a wet bar, and a home cinema and is close to North Beverly Hills Drive. However, they are only a few of the comforts you may enjoy at this magnificent castle, which was built using a combination of French and American modern architecture.
The Merv Griffin Estate
Nightly rate: $12,000
This Moroccan-themed villa with its 13 bedrooms was formerly home to the famed performer after whom this castle was named. The estate’s four guest pods and two guest homes add up to 5,400 square feet in the main house alone. Mature palm palms dot an unending lawn that bumps up to the Santa Rosa Mountains. One of California’s most tastefully adorned rooms is its great room, which was created in a Moroccan style.
Villa in Palm Desert
Nightly rate: $10,000
Depending on where you lay your eyes, Casa Tierra offers views of either a golf field or mountains, thanks to the architectural work of Bobby Berk of “Queer Eye” fame. The package includes a heated pool with a poolside bar, a wet bar, a balcony, bocce courts, a hot tub, and other amenities.
Mansion in Palm Desert
Nightly rate: $11,100
At Kempa Villa, which has nine bedrooms distributed between the main house, a casita, and a guest house, the aroma of the nearby citrus orchards permeates the air. You’ll enjoy sea views from the property’s tastefully landscaped outdoor pool, which is located on the property’s grounds.
Historic Estate in Beverly Hills
Nightly rate: $14,950
Built in 1934, Hillcrest is a typical mid-century Hollywood home. The arched entryway is lined with statues and leads to a large library, which is followed by a music room with a stage and a cinema lounge. The main home and guest house together may easily accommodate twelve visitors. As soon as they step outside, they can live like studio heads from Hollywood’s golden age as they stroll through the well-kept sculpture garden toward the pickleball courts and tennis courts, which have an integrated skateboarding ramp — and Sunset Boulevard is just down the hill. The tennis courts also have a built-in skateboarding ramp.
Villa in Palm Springs
Nightly rate: $10,000
The picturesque San Jacinto foothills are bordered by the old residence of “Ocean’s Eleven” producer Jerry Weintraub, Hacienda Barranca.

Italian Estate in Beverly Hills
Nightly rate: $15,790
Although the Laurel Grand Nouveau is in Beverly Hills, visitors can mistake it for Tuscany or Florence.

The inside has a home cinema, a dining room with 14 seats, a wine cellar, a sauna, a pool room, and an elevator.
