One night at the Mexican pad costs more than the average annual salary in the UK 🏝️

With its huge thatched atrium, stunning beach location, luxuriant garden and impressive variety of swimming pools, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Casa Tau in the Mexican resort town of Punta Mita is just a typical – albeit very, very posh – holiday pad

But this isn’t any old swanky villa. Oh no. The Casa Tau is also known as the setting for season one of Too Hot To Handle, a Netflix reality dating show that puts a group of horny, uber-tanned airheads in a villa – only to forbid them from touching one another

According to Casino Bee, Casa Tau is the most expensive Airbnb in the entire world. It costs just under £27,600 ($37,600) per night, which is, whichever way you look at it, astronomically spenny. That’s a whopping £193,200 ($262,900) per week

But maybe it’s not too bad, you say. After all, you can probably fit hundreds of people inside, right? Wrong. Casa Tau has space for 27 people. Sure, that makes the price look a bit better, but, to be honest, £1,000 per person, per night, is still pretty eye-watering

You get the aforementioned garden, beach and atrium, but also 12 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a huge terrace, an exercise room and a stone pizza oven – as well as chef, housekeeping and laundry services. The place is also littered with rain showers, Sonos sound bars and Apple TVs
