There’s an Airbnb for everyone these days.
Small houses, A-frames, Moroccan riads and properties voluntarily equipped with a grand piano.
But for those looking to step into an Airbnb and be blown away, there’s a specific category for that: OMG! category, symbolized by a small UFO spaceship.
Judges representing Airbnb chose 100 winners from over 20 countries award $100,000 each to bring their creations to life. The properties will be ready for guests by next summer and will join the other OMGs! Properties. Airbnb has invested a total of $10 million for the beneficiaries.
Common themes submitted included stargazing experiences, musical themes, inspired by fruit, mushrooms and wine, treehouses and solar panels to boost sustainable energy.
OH MY GOD! Fund recipient Ignacio R. said his floating avocado home in Chile “is all about connecting with nature. I’ve spent most of my life on our family farm – the happiest memories from my childhood come from there. It has something so special that just resonates with me. That’s why I have this dream, this calling, to share it with more people.”
