Los Angeles is one of the few cities where ten or eleven people can share a single private villa, cook together in a chef’s kitchen, float in a private pool above the city, and still be minutes from the Sunset Strip. At Stay Awhile, we host families, reunions, bachelorette weekends, and corporate retreats in the Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood all year long, and the homes in this guide are the ones we reach for first when a group calls.
Below you will find four of our large group vacation rentals in Los Angeles, each vetted by our team for design, location, and the details that matter when a lot of people share one roof. We also share the neighborhoods that suit groups best and the dinners and outings that make the most of a stay.
Why Groups Choose a Villa Over Hotel Rooms
Groups that stay in one home together spend more of the trip actually together. There is no negotiating over whose room to meet in, no lobby bar headcount, and no one drifting off early because the group is scattered across three floors. Breakfast happens around one table, the afternoon happens by the pool, and the best conversations tend to start late at night on a terrace with the city lit up below.
A villa also gives the group leader more control. Our concierge team can arrange a private chef, stock the fridge before arrival, book an in-home massage, or have a van waiting at LAX, so the logistics are settled before anyone lands.
Our Large Group Villas in Los Angeles
Each of these homes sleeps ten or more guests, includes a private pool, and carries a five-star guest rating across fifty verified reviews or close to it. They sit in the Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood, the part of the city where a group actually uses the house rather than treating it as a place to sleep.
Villa Marmont
Villa Marmont is quintessential Hollywood, set just steps from the Chateau Marmont and Sunset Boulevard. Inside, the finishes are exactly what a discerning group expects: marble countertops, custom backsplashes, and a kitchen fitted with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Miele appliances that can handle a real group breakfast. The primary suite has a custom walk-in closet and a spa-style bath with a backlit onyx steam shower, a detail guests mention again and again in their reviews.
Outside, the private pool and spa sit beside a shaded cabana, which makes it easy for part of the group to lounge while the rest heads down the hill for dinner. With room for eleven guests, it is our highest-capacity home in this collection and a natural fit for bachelorette weekends and milestone birthdays where being close to the Strip matters.
At a glance: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 11, 5.0 guest rating across 50 verified reviews.
The Artezen Villa
The Artezen Villa is a newly built West Hollywood home wrapped in greenery, and it is the one we recommend when a group wants space to spread out. With five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, the bathroom-to-guest ratio is the best in this collection, which anyone who has shared a house with ten people will appreciate.
Large glass doors open the living room straight onto the backyard, where a large pool and spa, a firepit, a BBQ station, an outdoor lounge, and an alfresco dining table set the stage for long evenings at home. Inside, an elegant ten-person dining area sits beside a floating staircase, so the whole group fits around one table for a private chef dinner. The master suite adds a fireplace, a balcony, and serene views of the Hollywood Hills.
At a glance: 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, sleeps 10, 5.0 guest rating across 50 verified reviews.
Six Senses
Six Senses is a privately gated, recently remodeled modern home perched just above the Sunset Strip, and the views are the reason to book it. From the deck, the panorama runs from the city lights all the way to Catalina Island on a clear day.
The open floor plan has soaring ceilings and designer finishes, and the layout includes a large guesthouse alongside the main residence, which gives couples, grandparents, or the group organizer a little privacy without leaving the property. The outdoor deck is built for entertaining, with a large pool, a fire pit, sun loungers, and teak furniture on a Zen-style balcony overlooking the Los Angeles skyline. It is our first suggestion for welcome dinners at home and corporate groups that want an impressive setting.
At a glance: 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, sleeps 10, 5.0 guest rating across 50 verified reviews.
La Reserve
La Reserve sits in the coveted Hollywood Hills and pairs modern design with a genuinely restorative outdoor setup. This recently renovated five-bedroom smart home runs on Control4 automation, and the backyard adds something rare in LA group rentals: a private outdoor sauna alongside the pool and jacuzzi.
Expansive terraces look out over the glittering city skyline, which makes La Reserve a strong match for wellness-minded groups, anniversary trips with friends, and anyone who wants a quieter hillside base between nights out. Five bedrooms mean fewer shared rooms, a real advantage for groups of couples.
At a glance: 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, sleeps 10, 4.9 guest rating across 50 verified reviews.
How to Choose the Right Villa for Your Group
If the trip revolves around nightlife and Sunset Boulevard, Villa Marmont puts you closest to the action and fits the most guests. If bathrooms and bedrooms are the deciding factor, The Artezen Villa gives everyone their own space. For a view-driven stay with a separate guesthouse, Six Senses is the one, and for groups that want downtime, a sauna, and a calmer hillside setting, La Reserve is hard to beat.

Make the Most of Your LA Getaway
The best group trips balance long afternoons at the villa with a few outings that feel worth the drive. These are the dinners and experiences we recommend most often to guests staying in our Hollywood Hills and West Hollywood homes, all within easy reach and all able to handle a group of ten without drama.
Yamashiro Hollywood
Yamashiro sits on a hill above Hollywood Boulevard with panoramic views and gardens that look pulled from a movie set, only minutes from Villa Marmont and Six Senses. It is our pick for a welcome dinner, when the visual moment matters as much as the food. Arrive early for the sunset light on the terraces, and order the sushi tower, the filet with black garlic butter, and the house cocktails.
Griffith Observatory
Griffith Observatory is one of the few LA landmarks a group of any size can simply show up and enjoy together, and it sits a short drive from La Reserve and Six Senses. Admission to the building and grounds is free, and the Hollywood Sign is visible from the back lawn. Arrive about ninety minutes before sunset, catch the golden hour over the city, and head straight to dinner.

Mastro’s Steakhouse Beverly Hills
Mastro’s is the definitive LA celebration steakhouse, and the one we suggest for the big night of the trip. The Penthouse on the third floor opens to an outdoor terrace with a strolling violinist on weekends and holds up to one hundred thirty-four guests across four distinct areas, so even a large party gets its own corner. Order the New York strip, the garlic mashed potatoes, and the famous warm butter cake.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood
The Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank is our go-to for groups with film fans and first-time visitors. The three-hour tour moves through active sound stages and iconic sets from Friends, Harry Potter, and the DC universe, and it runs in small parallel groups so no one gets left behind. It makes an easy morning out before a slow afternoon back at the pool.

Lawry’s The Prime Rib
Lawry’s is old-school LA in the best way, with prime rib carved tableside from silver carts. Because the format is essentially a set menu, it is easy to feed a group of ten without a dozen substitution requests, which is why it lands on our shortlist for family reunions and anniversary dinners. Order the prime rib, the spinning bowl salad, and the Yorkshire pudding.

Park’s BBQ Koreatown
For arrival night, when the group is still shaking off travel, we send people to Park’s BBQ. Servers grill wagyu and Kurobuta pork at the table, a wide spread of banchan fills in the gaps, and the whole meal is fun rather than fussy. Order the prime kalbi, the marinated pork belly, and the seafood pancake. View Park’s BBQ on Google Maps

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a large group vacation rental in Los Angeles?
Most operators define a large group rental as a home that sleeps at least eight guests, with multiple bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and shared living spaces. Our Los Angeles villas for groups sleep ten to eleven guests.
