Top 5 Airbnb Destinations by Landscape

Looking to see what the world really has to offer? You’ll need to look beyond the world’s major cities and set your mind to exploring the natural world. There are many different types of landscapes to uncover – and the truth is that no two stretches of wilderness are ever entirely alike. Fortunately, modern services like Airbnb make it all accessible.

Let’s take a look at five major categories of outdoor environment, and consider where and why you might seek them out.

Desert Adventures

There are countless deserts stretched across the world. Many of them have provided a home for human beings for thousands of years – and this means that you’ll be able to get out into the wild with a traditional form of accommodation – like an adobe home in Arizona, or a riad in Morocco.

Since you’ll be away from major cities, you’ll be able to see vast stretches of land, incredible sunsets, and clear, star-spattered skies.

Coastal Escapes

Among the most popular excursions are those that involve the seaside. This might mean a beachfront villa in Bali, or perhaps a Portuguese cliff-side apartment. When you can stroll down to the water each morning and take in the sounds and smells of surf, you’ll experience the kinds of calm and peace that the best holidays are made of.

Mountain Retreats

A break in the Alps, or indeed any other mountain range, is usually associated with winter and the ski season. Ski holidays are a fantastic means of soaking in a beautiful landscape, while enjoying a famously exhilarating form of exercise. But in many cases, these destinations are just as compelling during summer – except that you’ll often be swapping your skis for a mountain bike.

Forest Hideaways

If you’re looking to see as many plants and animals as possible, then a forest is an obvious choice. These habitats are packed with amazing wildlife, almost by definition. You’ll spend your holiday surrounded by inspiring verdure, and you’ll get the peace and quiet you’re craving. Pick the right remote Canadian cabin, or Costa Rican treehouse, and you might not see or hear from another human being for days on end.

Urban Landscapes

 

Let’s bring this full circle by considering how you can actually have a different kind of holiday from the typical city break, even if you’re not going out into the countryside. Many cities offer their own little magic spots. Rooftop lofts in New York City, historic flats in Rome: they all demonstrate that you can rise above the noise and stress of the traditional tourist trails, and get a better view of the cultural landmarks on offer.
