Airbnb has gone upscale. Today, the company launched Airbnb Luxe, a collection of impressive listings that bring bespoke travel to everyone—if you have the cash, that is.

The service debuted with over 2,000 listings across the world, each passing a 300-plus checklist that covers design and function. The amenities list is a little different than your average Airbnb, too—the properties come with a range of features, from housekeeping to child care to butlers, with add-ons such as airport transfers, spa services, and fresh groceries. The luxe listings deliver on the celeb-worthy dream vacations even before you arrive, coming with their own “trip designer,” a travel concierge to plan all your activities, book private chefs, ensure a seamless check-in, and more.

That doesn’t mean every listing will break the bank, though. If you search by destination and then filter by price, you can see an average nightly rate for the area. A villa in Indonesia is $410 per night and sleeps four, and a Sydney penthouse sleeps six at $835 per night.

Of course if you have cash to burn, consider Nukutepipi, a private island in French Polynesia that’s currently renting for a cool $1 million per week. Though it does sleep 52, so that’s really just under $20,000 per person.
