The brief
Sands of the East is one of the travel brands running on Desturi, the studio’s platform for tour operators and hospitality businesses.
I built its frontend in the Nx monorepo alongside the other Desturi apps - search, listings, accommodation pages, booking and the pieces that connect them to the shared API.
What I did
Destination, date and guest search with accommodation-type and amenity filters.
Accommodation detail pages with full-screen galleries, availability and booking forms through to payment.
Built as an app in the Desturi monorepo, so hosts manage calendars and listings in one dashboard and each travel brand gets its own frontend.
