While I am just as happy seeing the natural wonders of the Yellowhammer State, I freely admit I enjoy the occasional ooh and ahh over an opulent home and lavish lifestyle. Same? Well, prepare to catch your jaw when it drops as we explore the beautiful designs, surroundings, and custom comforts of a few of the top luxury Airbnbs in Alabama. Ranging from a sprawling lakefront villa to an ultra-modern downtown mansion to a majestic beachfront castle, these exclusive rentals may leave you speechless.
While the fees may seem loftier than an average vacation rental stay, the listings are anything but average — and a fraction of the cost of living there every day. If you’re looking for a luxury experience to inspire your aspirations, these properties are ready for you.
1. Lake Martin Palatial Luxury Villa, Alexander City, AL
Our first featured luxury Airbnb in Alabama is this luxury lakefront mansion located on Lake Martin in Alexander City, Alabama. This Airbnb has been featured in various publications because, well, just look at it. The sprawling estate is situated on a lake peninsula with an expansive pool, three docks, a boat ramp, and a private beach. Inside, you’ll find a grand staircase, limestone floors, and soaring two-story windows, plus a gourmet kitchen outfitted with the best of everything in appliances and two bar areas.
The estate has plenty of space to accommodate overnight stays by as many as 18 guests. There are eight luxurious bedrooms with 10 comfortable beds, plus nine baths. Every detail was considered, from the stylish furnishings to superb lake views.
2. Downtown Modern Tulones Mansion, Mobile, AL
Step out of downtown Mobile into the ultimate urban oasis at the Tulones Mansion, a stylish, modern gem created by Mobile natives, brothers, and iconic Southern streetwear brand Tulones founders Dameon “Dollas” and Chris (Benji). This luxurious enclave combines colorful art, first-class comforts, and urban flair for a stay you won’t soon forget. But it’s not just the look that sets this property apart; it’s the whole vibe, including plenty of entertainment options and the Tulones Currency Collectors story woven into every aspect.
The Tulones Mansion accommodates up to 12 guests in two king suites and two queen suites with double beds — perfect for friend groups or families. While you’ll have plenty of reason to spend quality time indoors, it offers easy access to Mobile’s vibrant city attractions, culture, and charm.
3. Beach Castle at Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, AL
The Castle at Fort Morgan is a stunning four-story fortress offering panoramic vistas of the Gulf of Mexico, the city of Gulf Shores, and the historic Fort Morgan. Nestled within the serene Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge, this luxurious oasis accommodates up to 12 guests in four well-appointed suites.
The other suites occupy the second floor of the castle, with the third floor bringing everyone together for meals and socializing against a backdrop of rolling dunes and glistening Gulf waters. There’s plenty to do if you choose to venture beyond the castle walls, including numerous local trails, a golf and racquet club, an amusement park, and many local restaurants within a short drive.
4. Gulf-Front Luxury Home, Orange Beach, AL
In need of a beachfront getaway? Look no further than this three-story luxury home in Orange Beach. This six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home can accommodate up to 22 guests. While you can slip away to the beach through the backyard any time you desire, you might even prefer lounging by the pool or taking a dip in the hot tub.
When you’re not spending time in the water, there’s plenty to do inside the home, too. With a pool table, ping pong table, and Xbox, there’s no shortage of games to play. And if you need to catch up on your shows, there are smart TVs in every room, plus a 4k projector outside by the pool. You can even end your evenings by throwing something on the grill, sitting by the fire pit, and letting the ocean waves sway you into deep relaxation.
5. Starlight Haven Dome, Cedar Bluff, AL
Is lake life more your thing? Well then, you won’t want to miss out on this geodesic dome on Weiss Lake. Starlight Haven comes with three beds and one bathroom, and can host up to four guests. You’ll also be able to see more than a thousand feet of the lake’s shoreline just by sitting on the private balcony.
This unique getaway comes with a hot tub and grill, perfect for a warm and cozy evening. But if you’re looking for some more time outdoors, kayaking on the lake is just a few steps away. And if you’re in the mood to hike, it takes just minutes to get to Desoto State Park and Little River Canyon.
