Tucked between the jungle and the beach, Superhost Luciana’s spacious villa is a minute’s walk from the waves. If you feel like venturing inland, check out the mangrove forests of Laguna de Manialtepec. Just be sure to be home for dinner—the included chef service is a nightly showcase for treasures like pescado zarandeado (traditional wood-fired fish). Photo: @casa_cal
Superhost Michelle’s high-desert retreat offers an unbeatable sunrise/sunset double feature with an occasional guest appearance by a blanket of snow. In between showtimes, head to nearby Joshua Tree National Park and hike among the massive boulders of the Hidden Valley Nature Trail.

This treehouse is only a ferry ride and short drive from Auckland but feels like a true escape. Maybe it’s the native birdsong, an enchanting soundtrack even if you wouldn’t know a morepork from a kererū. Catch up on your reading, soak in the spring water hot tub, or have lunch at nearby Man O’ War Vineyards—just your everyday winery...
You know you’re in Oaxaca when your front yard is a mezcal museum. Speaking of local specialties, Superhost Carlos says there’s no better place for tlayudas—the classic flatbread street snack—than right in the neighborhood at Tlayudas Doña Flavia.
