Imagine renting out an entire private island in French Polynesia or sleeping in an 18th-century château in Provençe that you booked through Airbnb -- well, now you can do exactly that. The vacation rental platform has launched a brand new luxury tier called Airbnb Luxe that offers access to more than 2,000 of the most spectacular properties in the world. All bookings will also include a dedicated trip designer that can arrange bespoke experiences and provide 24-hour VIP support during your stay.

Thanks to its acquisition of Luxury Retreats in 2017, Airbnb has gained expertise in the arena of extravagance and is now able to offer the kind of accommodation that appeals to customers with a slightly higher budget. Ranging from HK$8,000 to HK$1 million a night, Airbnb Luxe listings includes only the best of the best, as they all must pass strict inspection with over 300 criteria to keep to the highest standards and five-star quality.

So for those who need a jaw-dropping experience to celebrate an occasion or simply prefer travelling in utter luxury and privacy, here are our top five luxe properties on the Airbnb Luxe list.
