The villa from Dear Zindagi, Goa

Originally a Portuguese club, ‘Le Bougainvillea’ was reimagined as a colonial renaissance bungalow and later seen in the Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt-starrer, Dear Zindagi. Situated in the quiet village of Salvador do Mundo, the bungalow was rebuilt from the ruins of the club and has a lovely old-world charm about it. Featuring high ceilings, lovely courtyards, verandas and a tiled patio, the holiday home also hosts a beautiful swimming pool, luxurious bathrooms fitted with bathtubs and lots of modern amenities, including high-speed WiFi.

Though it is secluded from the hustle and bustle of Goa, the ‘Dear Zindagi villa’ is not so far that you cannot explore the city and enjoy its nightlife. With a 24-hour caretaker and a cook to help you with anything you may need, this homestay is perfect for weary travellers who are looking to get away from fast-paced big city life.

Bella Swan’s home in Twilight, Washington

While visits from the friendly neighbourhood vampire are not guaranteed, this Airbnb listing allows you to experience the 1930s property that was Bella Swan’s (Kirsten Stewart) home in the Twilight franchise.

A short drive from Portland, the home is situated in a quiet neighbourhood in Saint Helens. The owner has kept the house as is post the filming, so super fans can easily recreate their favourite moments from the movies. The house has also famously named the five bedrooms after iconic characters of the movie. You can go for the ‘lookout room’, rightly named after the scene where Bella looks out of the window to see Edward (Robert Pattinson) waiting for her. Another great option is ‘Jacob Black guest room’, located off the main entry downstairs for fans who shipped Jacob and Bella’s relationship. Find the listing here.
