All you need to do is decide on the guestlist…
Serious self-care in Palm Springs
Palm Springs, CA
Sleeps 16
Opting for a vacation rental over a hotel doesn’t have to mean forgoing the bliss of a professional in-house spa. Aptly named Spahaus, not only does this sprawling, modern property exude zen, it boasts an equally tranquil spa lounge. Revel in the luxury of hopping between the dry sauna and steam room on repeat. But why stop there when the owner has specialist therapists on speed-dial? Call for a massage therapist to soothe any aches and pains—perhaps for right after a visit from the yoga instructor. Or maybe you’d like to enter a dreamlike state with a bespoke sound bath around the firepit…? All you have to do is ask.

A desert retreat designed to wow
A British country house fit for royalty
Windsor, England
Sleeps 8
Braywood House is nestled in the English countryside just a few miles from Windsor. With its mullioned windows and antique crystal chandeliers, it recalls a certain famous royal castle nearby. This stately home might be 120 years old, but it boasts modern conveniences such as a gym and contemporary kitchen. It also comes with a concierge who can book taxis, make restaurant reservations, organize days out, and help your stay run smoothly. (There’s also a full-time gardener on site.) Most thrilling of all, walking in this part of Windsor Forest usually involves keys and permits and conversations with the Crown Estate office—but you’ll get free access.

Golfing and glamour in North Carolina
Mooresville, NC
Sleeps 18
There’s no shortage of fun pursuits at this lakefront home near Charlotte: Golfers will be tickled by the putting green; lounge lizards can laze in the hot tub; while those of all ages and abilities are free to enjoy foosball and table tennis tournaments in the games room. To make the most of the water, rent a kayak or spend an afternoon discovering the local restaurants on a pontoon. When it all gets too much, the Captain’s Quarters seating area provides the ultimate spot to sit back with a book. But with 280-degree views of Lake Norman, expect to be distracted by the scenery.
