Whether you want to spend big on your next vacation or just want to explore more in this world, here's a list of the most expensive stays on the planet. 

1. Amangiri, Utah

Waldorf Astoria Hotels are extremely famous and pretty expensive. A resort in Maui is located in a gated community with residential-style three-bedroom villas. Guests staying in the residential villas will have access to all the amenities of the resort including the restaurants, spa and children's club. The price of the villa starts from $2,371 per night.

6. Soneva Jani, Maldives

Probably the most visited resort in recent times is the Soneva Jani in the Maldives. The abode offers seven kinds of room categories. Almost all the luxury resorts in Indonesia, Thailand, and Maldives offer waterslides that take you directly to the ocean from your room.  Even the entry-level villa is extremely luxurious. While leaving the resort may look like a task, do venture out to indult in the very many activities that the place offers. Prices for the mid-tier room are around $6,000 per night. 

7. Kokomo Private Island Fiji

This isolated resort sits on the Great Astrolabe Reef which is pretty secluded from the other Fijian resorts. You can book the entire island which can host up to 40 guests in 25 villas and will cost you around $65,000 per night. However, you don't need to book the entire place even if you want to spend private time as the island is already pretty empty and set apart. A good thing about the resort is that all the other amenities are already included in the tariff that you'll pay. A typical room will cost you around $5,500 per night.

8. Six Senses Zil Pasyon, Seychelles

Pretty different from all the other Ocean resorts, the hotel is built into massive granite boulders on a hilly private island named Félicité in Seychelles. Guests get to enjoy the infinity pool, outdoor showers, and jungle walks upon booking a room from any of the categories. The residence has amenities like a gourmet kitchen, a unique art collection, wine cellars, and more. A mid-tier room will cost you around $3,135 per night.

9. St. Regis Residence Club, Aspen, Colorado

With only 2 dozen rooms, this abode will give you a feeling of home away from home.  Each residence has 2 to 3 bedrooms along with a fully functional kitchen. Other amenities of the place include free airport shuttle, Remède Spa, the Chef's Club, the Mountain Social Bar & Lounge, and more. Even though the hotel is a great place to visit all year long, it mostly attracts tourists during the winter months even more.  A typical mid-tier room will cost you around $3,233 per night.

10. Kudadoo Maldives Private Island, Maldives

Another pick from the Maldives is this set of 15 water villas with unlimited spa treatments, water activities, excursions, and more. It's good to keep in mind that there are a few additional charges for certain amenities like dining in the underwater restaurant or a private yacht tour. A typical mid-tier room tariff starts from $5,400 per night.
