19 Best Airbnb Long-Term Rentals (2026): Luxury Stays Around the World

The Best Luxury Long-Term Airbnb Rentals for Living Large Around the GlobeFrom Morocco to Mexico, these extended stays encourage doing the absolute mostCourtesy of AirbnbFor anyone still aspiring to digital nomad status (or stretching their OOO time to the fullest), an extended stay in a long-term Airbnb rental is the simplest way to avoid living out of a suitcase or turning to bargain hotels. Places all over the map like Panama, Bali, and Paris offer luxury stays that you can book for weeks to months at a time if your budget will allow it.While you can find more off-grid destinations like solar-powered units or treehouse-style properties to hole up for that writing retreat or down-to-earth vacation, these spots offer covetable design features like wrap-around balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to take in the sights without even leaving your living room. We’d file these under “once in a lifetime” opportunities rather than just run-of-the-mill lodging.Tropical getaways alongside pristine beaches or jaw-dropping pools are always on the menu, though those seeking a romantic escape in the country or city might turn to a charming English cottage or vibey Berlin apartment instead. And if you’re traveling with kids (godspeed), there are plenty of options that include bunk beds, games, and even a waterslide to keep them occupied. The common denominator among all these properties is that your Airbnb hosts are used to catering to long-haul travelers who enjoy the finer things, meaning that no amenity is too out of reach here: butlers, concierge services, private chefs, you name it.
