Whether you're usually a bath person or strictly showers, there's something about staying in a home with a beautiful tub that calls for a good long soak. We're not all lucky enough to have a spectacular tub in our own homes - but you can choose a homestay that comes equipped with one.
We've searched the globe and we think these 11 tubs are more than worthy of some foam-filled indulgence. Bubbles are optional:
The hint is in the same. The walls in every room of this stunning four-bedroom Copenhagen home are adorned with an eclectic mix of contemporary prints and paintings. In the bathroom, the piece of art is the wooden bathtub. Let the soaking commence.

Take a long bath in this Tel Aviv home with incredible views of Jaffa Port and not one, but two, bathtubs. We love the contrast of the modern pieces against the historic limestone walls. As for the rest - every single room in this five-bedroom home is impeccably styled. See for yourself.

Yes, this super-luxe bathtub can be all yours, for a few nights at least. This traditional tub calls for bubbles. And the luxury doesn’t stop there. The rest of Mid-century Savanna is a stylish blend of Danish design and African art. Oh, and there's a massive rooftop terrace to boot.

Epic. That’s the word you’re looking for. This bathtub (and this entire home) is sleek, slick, and stylish. The tub is situated in the master suite with a television and floor-to-ceiling windows. Gaze out at the incredible views or watch a little Netflix mid-soak.
