The kitchen is the heart of any home, and that doesn’t change on vacation. It’s where we naturally come together. Whether that means whipping up a hearty breakfast before a day of adventures or enjoying a midnight snack, luxury modern kitchens add an extra touch of sophistication to your vacation home, enhancing those moments of connection.
With 350+ exceptional Inspirato homes around the globe, it can be tough to choose favorites. But these 10 kitchens are guaranteed to inspire even the most hesitant cooks to don an apron. (And if cooking isn’t on your vacation agenda, your Destination Concierge can arrange for a private chef, so you can savor the beauty of these kitchens without lifting a finger.)
