The Getaways product was born out of the desire to promote the Instant Booking feature, which are listings that can be booked immediately without back-and-forth with the host. The idea, which was originally started on mobile, was to provide a place for last-minute travelers to discover places to stay at the last minute.
Getaways now includes all kinds of listings, and is a way for users to explore nearby destinations. The target user is a traveler or local looking for a quick getaway to nearby(ish) destinations.
The page features a large image slider, weather, and a short tease about the city’s features. Three selected listings are placed beneath the slider, so the user can be directed immediately into a listing. There’s also a button to “See All Available Places” if the user wants to explore more than the three featured listings. Above the slider is a small map that shows how far the getaway is from the current city.
