From a private island in Mauritius to a vineyard estate near Saint-Tropez, some villas stand out for far more than their setting. Private beaches, helipads, tennis courts, works of art and unusual pools can all shape the experience of a stay. Discover our selection of unique luxury villas around the world, each distinguished by its location, architecture or amenities.
Accessible only by footbridge, Villa L’Ilot occupies its own small island, just 100 metres from the coastline. Among our villas in Mauritius, it stands out for the sea views from every room and its close connection with the surrounding lagoon. The villa also comes with dedicated house staff and provides easy access to some of the best water sports in Mauritius, making it particularly appealing for guests who want to spend much of their stay on or beside the water.
Villa Blue Ocean combines access to Phuket with the privacy of a secluded beach. This six-bedroom villa blends contemporary design with traditional Thai architecture and opens generously onto its tropical surroundings. Among its amenities are a fitness room, cinema room and spa, as well as an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Guests can therefore move easily between time by the pool, swimming in the ocean and relaxing at the villa.
South of Madrid, in the rolling landscapes of Castilla-La Mancha, Villa Adelaida stands out for its helipad and private airstrip. The 14-bedroom property also offers an extensive range of services and activities, including cooking classes with a private chef, 4x4 excursions, horse riding and private bullfighting shows. For guests looking for an unusual luxury rental in Spain, its scale and facilities set it apart from a more traditional country estate.
Set among pine trees and olive groves, Domaine Coubris is a historic stone estate dating from the 13th century. Its olive trees are harvested to produce organic olive oil, adding a strong connection between the property and its surrounding landscape. Located near Perpignan, the estate can accommodate up to 24 guests, making it particularly suitable for extended families or groups of friends looking for space and privacy in the countryside.
Located around 10 kilometres from Saint-Tropez, Château Saint M sits within a vineyard belonging to one of the few Provence wineries with Cru Classé status.

These include a swimming pool set within an ancient sheepfold, more than 60 works of art and a private nightclub with its own dance floor.
Close to Lake Maggiore, one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy, Villa Galonetta borders a peaceful private lake. The two-bedroom house has an unusual octagonal layout, landscaped gardens, a heated outdoor pool and a jacuzzi. For larger groups, Villa Digliana, on the opposite side of the lake, can also be booked to accommodate four additional guests.
Set within an 11-hectare private estate on the outskirts of Marrakech, Dar El Sadaka has the atmosphere of an artist’s residence and is one of the more original options among our villas in Marrakech. Animal sculptures by Jean-François Fourtou appear throughout the property, giving the villa a distinctive identity. Its amenities include a hammam, a tennis court and a heated swimming pool, while dedicated house staff can assist throughout the stay and help organise private receptions at the property.
In the heart of the Landes forest, La Cabane de la Forêt is surrounded by trees and designed around indoor-outdoor living.
