Coachella is just a blink of an eye away as the first weekend comes up on April 15. If you were lucky enough to score some of those coveted sold-out tickets but still have no idea where you are going to stay, you’re in luck. Airbnb has some beautiful homes available that are just as Instagram-friendly as the festival itself. Skip the over-glorified camping on the festival grounds and settle into these unique homes that capture that desert vibe so you can be fresh as you head out the door to enjoy all Coachella has to offer.

We hope you love the Coachella Airbnbs we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

Villa Kuro is a ranch house built in the 1960s, and now it’s a wholly transformed desert home with a gorgeously minimalist design. Designed with tranquility and relaxation in mind, Villa Kuro is a minimal organic modern hideaway fusing natural simplicity with contemporary luxuries. This two-bed, two-bath home sleeps four on an unfenced 3.6 acres that go all the way up to the mountain’s peak. After spending all day on the festival grounds, return to your temporary home to enjoy the firepit and relax your joints in a saltwater hot tub under the stars.
