From Paris to Buenos Aires, These Are the Best Airbnbs for Solo Travel

A three-hour drive from the city, this rustic home located in New York’s Catskill Mountains is as much an architectural feat as it is a serene hideaway. It consists of two octagonal structures built hillside, with an open, hexagonal floor plan that features soaring ceilings, two skylights in the bedroom, and heaps of exposed woodwork. You’ll need a car to get to the nearest town, as this property is fully remote; but if you’re seeking a quiet space to unplug or work on a project, that’s kind of the point. Winter visitors will love the wood-burning stove, and if you need some fresh air, take a stroll across the 23 acres of meadows, forest, and fruit trees that surround the house.

Amenities: Bath tub, Bluetooth sound system, books, indoor fireplace, coffee maker, patio, outdoor dining area, long term stays allowed, free parking

Location: South Kortright, New York

Best for: Remote silence to finish that screenplay you’ve been tossing around for years.

Situated between Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo and only 10 minutes from the beach, this stunning spot is designed for relaxation at every turn. Mountain and ocean views come as a package deal, which you can take in from the outdoor soaking tub, yoga deck, or living room. If you’ve chosen Costa Rica for its rich nature offerings, you’ll love that you can order fresh, local ingredients daily from the nearby market for delivery to the house—and you should, because how often do you have the chance to whip up a meal from a kitchen overlooking the sea?

Amenities: Bathtub, outdoor shower, washer/dryer, air conditioning, coffee maker, outdoor dining area, backyard, free parking, cleaning available during stay
