Fancy A Night’s Stay In The Up! House Or Training At The X-Mansion? Say Hello To Airbnb Icons

Airbnb has just launched its brand spankin’ new Icons series, giving wanderlusters the money-can't-buy opportunity to experience completely out-of-this-world experiences, with everything from a night in the Up! house to spending a VIP evening buddying up with comedy king Kevin Hart. Make no mistake, this isn't your usual stay process—these are curated, completely one-off adventures that'll send all of your friends (and us) into an eternal jealous spin. 

To go in the running to score one of these opportunities, potential dwellers need to request and register their interest via Airbnb, then cross all their fingers (and any other bendy body part) that they're selected.

We’ve rallied up some of our fave *very* limited time, exclusive Icons experiences that we’re adding to the bucket list in 2024.

Drift Off In The Up! House

New Mexico, USA

Hosted by Carl Fredricksen himself, jump into the wonderful world of Pixar and get cosy at this completely charming re-creation of that famous home held up by over 8,000 colourful balloons. With meticulous attention to detail, you’ll be able to flip through Ellie’s adventure book, read her love letters and earn your badges as star-gazer with spectacularly clear unadulterated views of the secluded desert night’s sky. We've even told they've found a way to make the home float, but that's a secret they're keeping sealed on for the moment.

Spend A Night At The Ferrari Museum

Maranello, Italy

Rev heads, this one’s for you. Start your engines, as lucky dwellers of this money-can't-buy experience will spend a day at a premier racing event in historic Emilia-Romagna with legendary Ferrari ambassador Marc Gené with VIP area access to cheer on Scuderia Ferrari, before eating dinner at the globally renowned restaurant Cavallino. You'll then take a private tour through the Ferrari museum (long after the crowds have left) and spend a night in the Sala delle Vittorie that houses endless historical trophies and prestigious supercars, before waking up to a private ride on the Fiorano Circuit.

Wake Up In The Musée d’Orsay

Paris, France

Prepare for your very own real life night at the museum housed in one of Paris' most revered and celebrated pieces of century-old architecture. Become the first ever person to sleep in the clock room, watch the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for the private rooftop terrace while enjoying a lush dinner overlooking the twinkling lights over the River Seine. To cap it off, you'll even get to take an exclusive tour of the Musée's private Impressionist collection not available to the public. C'est magnifique!

Join A Living Room Session With Doja

Location TBA

Love Doja Cat? Fresh from headlining festivals and an epic European tour, Airbnb is bringing one crazy intimate show directly to a cosy living room environment for one night only this October. And the best bit? She's bringing her cats along with her. Completely unique from any other show she's done before (or most likely ever again), be charmed by this international superstar while she mesmerises you with her insane musical passion for an unforgettable night in.

Stay In Prince’s Purple Rain House

Minneapolis, USA

Throw on some purple suade and get ready to celebrate The Revolution's legendary frontman and iconic musical king Prince, by staying in the actual Purple Rain home from the film. Enjoy an intimate tour, groove to some rare unheard Prince recordings then snooze in The Kid's bedroom as you rest your head where history was made. An absolute dream for die hard fans of the When Doves Cry singer, we're ready to rock out where the magic happened.

With a slew of Icons experiences set to continue popping up throughout the year (and beyond), head here to make your dreams a reality and step into pop culture history.
