Hotels might be fancy and all, but sooner or later everything gets mundane. It’s the same furniture, same room placement, same art pieces even! It’s time we break out from this hotel line up and take a look at what some gorgeous homes in Asia has to offer.

Airbnb offers everything you need, from entire homes available just for your family to sharing rooms with travellers alike. Now let’s get straight into it and show you some of the best Airbnb leases in Asia! ?
1. Alamanda Markisa Villa, Langkawi
Rather than staying at hotels that are situated right by the beach (which often come with high price tags?), opt for this unique set of villas. Alamanda Markisa Villa is located atop a hill, only 15 minutes away from the busy central Langkawi!

With rustic wooden interiors and charming decor, this villa has an inviting feel right when you step inside it. But if being indoors is not your thing, head to the infinity pool, communal lounge area and the lush garden to explore and relax!

If there was one thing that'll really steal your heart here, it has to be the infinity pool overlooking the stunning ocean. We highly recommend renting a scooter while you're here as the best beaches Langkawi has to offer are about 15 minutes away. Else, you can ask the hosts to assist in booking your transport!

For us city-goers, living in this bamboo cottage is as close as we can get to living off the grid. It might look like you're in the middle of nowhere, nestled among the rice fields, but you're actually just 5 minutes away from Ubud city.

The best part about staying in a local neighbourhood is to see how life is for the locals!
