Villa Infinity overlooks the Bel Air Country Club. Founded in 1927 it stands as one of the most luxurious private clubs in the city whose members include prominent business leaders, Hollywood stars, and influential figures.
The villa designed by London-based Quinn Architects encompasses 14,438 square feet of living space, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the Los Angeles skyline, while a 20-meter infinity pool melts into the horizon.
The property is made for entertaining - whether it's lounging by the sunken firepit with family and friends, hosting an intimate dinner party on the patio, or sipping a vintage from the wine cellar.
Inside, the open-plan living area holds a state-of-the-art kitchen designed for culinary creativity, a sleek bar lounge, and an entire lower level devoted to entertainment. Guests can indulge in a private movie screening, a game of billiards, or stay active in the fully equipped gym.
There are four en-suite bedrooms, including a lavish master suite that boasts dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bathroom, and a private terrace with its own firepit. A dedicated villa manager will be on hand throughout the stay.
The villa can sleep up to 10 people with prices starting from US$10,725 (HK$83,655) per night.
Villa Serenity is designed by London architect Felicity Bell to be a lavish retreat. A discreet, gated entrance welcomes guests into a serene outdoor sanctuary, featuring an infinity-edge pool, expansive lawn, and al fresco dining and lounge areas.
Inside the 15,000-sq-ft villa is an airy living room, a gourmet kitchen perfect for meals by the Mandarin Oriental chef, and a media room for quiet evenings.
Wellness is a central feature, with an indoor lap pool and a well-appointed gym for those seeking both fitness and relaxation.
Designed for comfort and privacy, the home includes two staff suites and five en-suite guest bedrooms. The master suite, with its sweeping panoramic views, offers dual walk-in closets, a luxurious soaking tub, and an adjoining office.
A dedicated concierge is available to curate tailored experiences, whether it is a guided hike through the nearby Santa Monica Mountains or a private wine tasting at one of Malibu's famous vineyards.
Sleeping up to 14 guests, the villa comes in at a princely US$10,725 and up per night.
