Whether you’re a casual film watcher or eagerly await every new release, it’s likely you’ve watched an Oscars show or two in your lifetime. How could you not be taken in by the glitz and glamour of it all? From the sweeping gowns to the behind-the-scenes drama, this annual evening is undeniably Hollywood’s hottest invite. While we can’t get you on the guest list, we do have a whole host of holiday homes that are primed for hosting your very own award-winning Oscars party – and they’ve all got cinema rooms for screening everything from this season’s hits to much-loved classics.
Just 5 minutes from luxurious Monaco, La Residence allows you to live the celebrity lifestyle when hosting an Oscars party. Start your day picking up fresh pastries from the local boulangerie, sampling them on the private terrace as you look out over the ocean. Then, take a dip in your infinity pool, get your heart racing in the gym, and enjoy a stroll around the garden. The main event awaits come nightfall, with a Hollywood-red cinema room awaiting you – given your setting in the French Riviera, may we suggest French Kiss (1955)?
Drawing influence from St Tropez style, Beach Retreat allows you to get away and enjoy the coast all year round. You’ll find marble fireplaces, a sunlight room and a bubbling jacuzzi bath among other high-end amenities. The cinema room here may be on the cosier side, but continue your Oscars party as you take to the vinyl decks and play DJ all night long – the nighttime light effects are not to be missed.
Found on the shores of West Loch Tarbert, this imposing 19th-century manor will have you feeling like you live in a storybook, offering stunning views over the loch to Kintyre and the hills of Arran. Bringing together the charms of days gone by with contemporary conveniences, it’s equipped with a pool table, luxury furnishings and a relaxing cinema room. It can host up to 17 guests, serving as the ideal spot for large groups to get together and discuss their favourite new releases, while the private pebble beach will soon have you enacting screen-worthy scenes of your own.
Named “one of the top 5 houses to rent in France” by The Guardian, Chateau de la Croix is one for those who enjoy life’s little luxuries – explaining why some of Hollywood’s elite have stayed here in the past. Sleeping 26 across 9 spacious bedrooms, it comes equipped with a heated swimming pool, billiard room, music area, piano salon, dining hall, cinema room and restaurant-standard kitchen.
Follow in the footsteps of the fashionable set and jet off to an island for your Oscars party! Villa Serenity is found on the gorgeous Croatian island of Lošinj where you can spend the day enjoying the pool and fitness suite and dipping your toes in the Adriatic sea (that’s right on your doorstep), then settle in for the evening in the home’s own cinema. You can cosy down in big plush seats and enjoy drinks and popcorn while all the glamourous people arrive for the night of awards. Sounds great, right?
While those are our top picks for holiday homes to host your Oscars party, we’ve also got a wide selection of party houses to rent out and enjoy all year round, whether you’re celebrating a special birthday or simply all getting together again. We know that every host has different requirements and priorities, so get in touch with our concierge team so we can help you plan the ultimate event.
