In celebration of Wicked: For Good, Airbnb is opening the doors to Elphaba’s Retreat — a magical, fully immersive experience hosted by Cynthia Erivo, the Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning star who portrays Elphaba in the upcoming Wicked movie.
Step Inside Elphaba’s World
On December 3rd, 2025, up to 20 lucky guests will be invited to step inside a handcrafted woodland hideaway inspired by the world of Wicked. Nestled just outside Los Angeles, Elphaba’s Retreat offers a one-of-a-kind experience where fantasy meets reality.
Guests will join Cynthia Erivo herself for an intimate fireside tea alongside a sommelier, sampling blends infused with forest flora. Throughout the three-hour adventure, visitors can expect:
-
A guided exploration filled with hidden surprises, including Easter eggs and real film artifacts from Wicked.
-
A multi-sensory sing-along, where lighting and music bring the Ozian Forest to life.
-
A creative workshop to craft your own witch’s broom using willow, moss, poppies, and other forest treasures.
The experience captures the magic and mystery that Wicked fans have only glimpsed in the trailers — now made real through Airbnb’s latest immersive creation.
Stay Overnight in Elphaba’s Retreat
Beyond the experience, one lucky guest and their plus one can request to spend the night in Elphaba’s Retreat from December 6th to 7th, 2025. The stay promises a full day (and night) of enchantment — from starlit moments in the woods to resting in Elphaba’s own boots.
Both the experience and overnight stay are completely free, making this one of the most magical opportunities for Wicked fans this year.
How to Request to Book
Fans can request to book the experience or overnight stay starting November 11th at 3pm GMT, with submissions closing on November 13th at 3pm GMT. To apply, visit airbnb.com/wickedforgood.
A Magical Moment for Wicked Fans
