As an eco-certified retreat, Spicers Sangoma Retreat features sauna facilities, infinity lap pool, open plan lounge and 8 suites that capture the beauty of the natural surrounds, making it an ideal setting for luxurious escapes, romantic getaways, intimate celebrations and anniversaries. What better place to unwind?

 

Just 2 ½ hrs drive south of Sydney near the pristine clear waters and white sand beaches of Jervis Bay, the camp offers a unique blend of fine food and wine, cosy canvas accommodation and a peaceful bush setting, the perfect base from which to explore this nature lovers paradise.

After a delicious dinner in the treetop dining room, grab your torch and meander back under the stars to snuggle up in your own bush hideaway, lulled into a restful sleep by the sounds of the bush at night. The 12 canvas safari style tents have been placed thoughtfully amongst the soaring eucalypts and intriguing paperbarks, built above the ground to give privacy and to capture the sea breeze. A nature lover’s paradise.

A world class luxury resort in the Whitsundays. qualia is a private world of sensory perfection on Hamilton Island.

With a relaxed aspect and mesmerising calmness, time seems to stretch forever.

qualia's distinctive style combined with its sun-drenched location and intuitive service makes it a luxurious resort on world-class standards. It's a truly special place where everything has been meticulously considered to relax the mind and completely spoil the senses.

Nestled within the Kimberley’s vast and ancient landscape and hidden amongst burnt-orange cliffs and lush, green lawns sits El Questro Homestead, a pocket of luxurious exclusivity where you’re encouraged to make yourself at home.

 

This nine-suite hideaway is surrounded by avenues of frangipani trees and, once inside, offers chic yet cosy and comfortable interiors where bedrooms are cantilevered over the still and tranquil Chamberlain River. Each day at the Homestead is likely to start with birdsong and end with a locally sourced three-course dinner, and matched wines, under a blanket of stars. After a day spent swimming under waterfalls, lounging in private thermal springs or being flown over ancient vistas and geological landmarks guests return to The Homestead, relaxed and ready for a new day in paradise.
