Queenstown, New Zealand
We know what you’re thinking: that too-stunning-to-be-true backdrop was Photoshopped in, right? Wrong.
Luxe living
This luxurious four-bedroom mansion may look like it belongs to a Kardashian in Los Angeles, but it’s probably way better than that.
Starry nights
C’mon, the Hollywood sign has got nothing on that amazing view of the (aptly named) Remarkables Mountain and Lake Wakatipu. Also celeb-worthy: the price tag. Start saving for that honeymoon.

Okinawa, Japan
If you were the star of a rom-com flick set on an idyllic island, this three-bedroom villa with a private pool would make the perfect backdrop for it.
Colour us impressed
The clean, stark architecture set against skies bluer than Zac Efron’s eyes makes for a romantic hideout for you and bae, whether you’re lounging around in the Muji-worthy living room…
...or taking a dip in this pool
Nestled conveniently in the village of Yomitan, the elegant retreat — which has since received over 100 reviews on the site — is just a few minutes from the beautiful Okinawan beaches and tourist attractions.
$391 per night. https://www.airbnb.com.sg/rooms/4767961
Tokyo, Japan
Tucked away in the Asakusa neighbourhood is this charming abode which takes you back in time.
Lofty aspirations
But don’t fret about modern-day creature comforts — the two-storey loft house, which houses up to eight guests, has it all, including air-conditioning and wi-fi. And when in Japan, do like the locals (used to) do and sleep on futons to complete your authentic Japanese experience.
Sugoi!
While you may be tempted to curl up in here all day, it’d be remiss not to head out to enjoy the nearby Ueno Park, Ueno Zoo and Senso-ji Temple.
$557 per night. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/17013981.
Sydney, Australia
This massive beach house can host up to 16 guests, so it’s great if you’re the sort who likes going on double (or even triple or quadruple?) dates. You’re in for a sand-sational time in this six-bedder, which is a mere 70m from Bondi Beach. Surf, suntan and swig those beers to your heart’s content, then come back and get in touch with grill life — yup, there’s a BBQ pit in the backyard.
You've been surf-ed
The Airbnb hosts built the house with socialising in mind, which explains the luscious courtyard and the barbie grill. Okay, scrap the quadruple date and hold your cosy destination wedding here instead.
