3. The pool house in Los Angeles

7. The luxury beach villa in San Diego

There’s luxury and then there’s Californian luxury—seriously, if ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ had been set on the West Coast, this place would have been Leonardo DiCaprio’s house. Kitted out with an oceanfront hot tub and a sun-soaked front deck bigger than most people’s house, this villa is the ultimate place to watch the sunset over the Pacific. Unfortunately, most of us would need a Wall Street-sized paycheck to afford a trip here, but if you’ve got the cash make sure you book this one.

8. The architect’s dream in Austin

If Hobbits had access to Architectural Digest, this would be the result. Looking like something out of Tolkien's The Shire and an episode of ‘Grand Designs’, this one-of-a-kind house is all twists of bulbous, spiralling plaster and terracotta tiles. Originally designed by two architecture students in the 1970s, The Bloomhouse was renovated in 2017 to create a modern other-worldly retreat. Wander through the labyrinthine corridors, sleep in plush beds beneath marshmallow walls, shower in built-in rotund bathtubs and cook dinner in the circular kitchen. There’s also a beautiful outdoor terrace for alfresco meals.
