Travelling is one of the best ways to call in the New Year, but to really be able to enjoy the holiday spirit, the best idea is to get the ball rolling as soon as the decision comes into the picture.

No sooner have you decided on the destination that you should think about booking those tickets and rooms at the earliest, lest the best places will no longer be available because you chose to do this “a bit later”.

Over the last few years, the world has gradually moved on from the 'same-old' hotel room to a more holistic experience of really living like a local in the area. With the option to opt for an entire apartment or villa, every travel destination has turned into a thrilling adventure.

For inspiration, here are top five Bollywood celebrities who decided to AirBnB their way around the world, and truth be told that's all the push you'll need to make those New Year holiday plans.

During his recent visit to Los Angeles in the US, SRK stayed in a stellar, four-tier estate that befits a king's stay. King Khan even posted the pictures of the place and his stay on Instagram. Talking about his experience, he said, "Travel has always been a constant in my life. My work has taken me all over the world, yet the joy of discovery always remains. Whether it's the bliss of being in a new place or the opportunity to immerse myself in new cultures, I love experiencing every destination as a local would, with airbnb.”

Bollywood heartthrob Kat chose to stay at a rustic cottage while on a vacation with her sisters in Colorado. She looked vibrant in the pictures she shared from her adventure in the snow-clad state.

The bubbly Parineeti also partook of the joys of having an entire villa to oneself when she visited London during the holiday season. We totally recommend staying-in and chilling with a hot cup of coffee and a book when it's snowing outside.

This is how I'm gonna be found in my cozy @airbnb for the next few days - Giant socks, hot chocolate and sweaters!! âï¸âï¸ð§£Obsessed with apartment living!!! 𥰠#ad

Actor Shilpa Shetty too has indulged in the luxury of renting a villa for a vacation during her family trip to Dubai. She stayed in a gorgeous garden villa overlooking the Burj Al-Arab and just like most of her pictures, these were breathtaking too.

Holidays are all about chilling by the heated poolð¬ #waterbabies #familytime Hair and photo by (my niece)@Vanshika.dhirð¬ðð
