Our 10 Favorite Airbnbs with a Soaking Tub
A real soaking tub is deep enough to sink to your shoulders, and Airbnb has no filter for one in its menu. We searched the hidden one, read the listings and looked at every tub in the photos, from hinoki wood to sunken stone. These are the ten whole homes we would book first, from a forest chalet in Hakuba to a hacienda in old Mérida.
Every home here is the whole place, not a room. Prices are the full Airbnb total for 7 nights, 6 March 2027 to 13 March 2027, for 2 guests, including fees and taxes, checked on 25 October 2026. They change daily, so open the listing for today's price.

Before you book
Before you book, ask the host how deep the tub is and how long it takes to fill. For a wooden or stone bath, it is also worth asking whether it needs any care from you, such as covering it or drying it after use.
How we chose: we searched every continent for Airbnbs with a soaking tub, kept only whole homes rated 4.85 or higher whose photos show the soaking tub, and picked the ten we would most like to stay in, at a range of prices. Nobody paid to be on this list.
