Example of Fire & Ice Website

Dark and light contrasts the elements of this beautiful design, with light used to highlight the gorgeous imagery. Fullscreen photography, galleries, and sliders of the most scenic places in Iceland are scattered throughout and keep people engaged.

Example of Marvel Travels - Startup Travel Agency

Bright and clean design dominates this well-made mockup. There’s a nice full screen hero image followed by plenty of smaller images next to calls to action and other information.

Example of Yosemite

Huge photography, a large and user-friendly UI, and sections of interest that take up the whole screen or more are scattered about this landing page. It’s fitting for one of the largest national parks in America.

Example of Blog Page

If you want to create a blog that stuns people just as much as the homepage, look here. Create a travel blog that looks like this and people are sure to quickly subscribe for more.

Example of Yellowstone

Yellowstone’s gorgeous homepage is simply a masterpiece. It combines the amazing imagery of an untouched national park with a pleasing user interface and helpful info at every scroll.

Example of Forest

The tile-based design here is used well, with 3D overlays and lots of interactive media in every block. A similar design would look great for a website that relies on visuals rather than text content.

Example of Coastal Holiday Home

This mockup has more of a focus on real estate. Photos of vast landscapes are replaced with pretty interior and exterior shots, and it all has a bright, fresh look to it.

Example of Travelers: National Geographic Site

It may only be inspired by National Geographic, but this project looks completely authentic. Exciting photography is what the brand is all about, and it’s woven perfectly into its landing page.

Example of Wandr: Iceland

This hero image transitions from white to black, which seamlessly spills down into the rest of the page. The design is then broken up with beautiful, bright photography that stands out against the darkness. It’s a great concept for a landing page, and very inspiring.

Example of Kayaking Trip Site

Pretty and functional, this is a great project to study if you’re making a business website. Calls to action are everywhere, but it never gets in the way of the landscape and portrait shots.

Example of HutHut Adventures #1 - Landing

Here’s an example of nice composition. The hero image and footer utilize photography, while the content area is the middle is light and spacious. Large images offer breathing room between text.

Example of The Great Outdoors

Short, sweet, and simple, this landing page gets its point across quickly and stylishly. The photo header smoothly fades out to give way to image links and blog posts, before fading back in to the footer.

Example of Travel Landing Page

A good homepage is crucial for success, and here’s a great example. Notice the focus on orange hues; they appear everywhere from UI to the photography. Strong usage of color can create a beautiful effect.

Example of Traisl.

Many travel sites tend to go for contrast between the photos and background, but this contrasts dark UI against snowy photography. It gives a greater focus to the text content.

Gorgeous Travel Sites

Travel websites are especially beautiful. They utilize jaw-dropping photography and videos to draw you in and get you excited to explore. Knowing how to incorporate these into a great user interface is key to creating an amazing travel design.

There’s something about seeing gorgeous natural imagery that draws people in. Use this to your advantage as you design a website that captures people with its beauty.
