Though the desert views here in the Valley are often the envy of travelers from all over, everyone appreciates a change of scenery.
Most will never tire of the stellar sunsets, or the cacti that make this area home, but why not shake things up a bit for a view that’s different from the norm?
When you’re looking to book your next trip, and pining for a place with a view, use this as your reference.
Here are villas with some of the most stunning views in the world.
Casa Palopo | Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Boutique hotel, Casa Palopo, in the stunning country of Guatemala, known as the “land of eternal spring,” can only be topped by its villa that sits 150 cobblestone steps above the main hotel.
Here you’ll fall head-over-heels in love with the views that overlookLake Atitlan and the three nearby volcanoes.
And what’s inside the villa isn’t bad, either. With decor that centers around African tribal relics, this villa is cozy enough for two to enjoy, but spacious enough for families to have plenty of their own space.
Its three bedrooms each have their own private bathroom, as well as private terrace. Oh yeah, and you can park your helicopter up on the roof.
Service here is nothing short of fabulous — you’ll have a butler for your every need, as well as a personal chef service.
And we’ll let you imagine the private pool of this place with one hint: surreal.
This villa can be rented as a whole, or just as individual rooms.

An extension of the gorgeous The Westin Playa Bonita, Casa Naga & Villa Bonita provide the ultimate VIP experience.

At Villa Bonita you’ll also gain access to a private helipad, a massive wine cellar, and an infinity pool that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Be sure to check out the Turkish spa baths that sit on almost every guest room balcony.
Next to Villa Bonita sits Casa Naga — a 25,000 square-foot oceanfront “mega villa” featuring incredible accommodations such as:

- Private plunge pool
- Private cabanas
All of this, nestled into the dreamy Panamanian rainforest sounds like a view that would be impossible to forget.
