This spectacular home is a bit like having a private resort all to yourself. The luxury villa has a 50 foot long swimming pool, surrounded by palm trees and sun loungers – with the added bonus that you get to pick who you're sharing it with. You'll also find a jacuzzi, big enough to fit 12 people, and a fire pit, for chillier desert nights. Inside is just as special, with a beautiful nature-inspired colour palette and plenty of chic details – think rustic wood furnishings, statement artworks and cosy throws for wrapping around yourself. In the bedrooms, there's crisp linen, driftwood sculptures and even workspaces for catching up on emails. The trendy neighbourhood of Arcadia is on your doorstep, with its cool farm-to-table restaurants and trendy boutiques. If you fancy getting active, drive out into the desert for a hike, or follow one of the trails up iconic Camelback Mountain for incredible views across Arizona.
