We've searched far-flung corners to find a collection of homes with everything you could possibly need, from hot tubs to swimming pools to private chefs.
Our large group accommodation options have enough room for everyone, from the newborn babies to the four-legged friends, and some are even split between multiple buildings. In sought-after coastal and country locations, we've tracked down luxury homes near some of the nation's best private schools, in the most sought-after neighbourhoods, and with interiors so impressive that they've featured in leading publications. For couples, there are romantic retreats awaiting your arrival. But these homes do come with a word of warning: you may never want to leave.
