In today’s busy world, many people are time poor and struggle to take long holidays or periods of leave. However more often than not, they have more disposable income and so may take shorter breaks but are willing to spend the money to splash out and do it in style. They are often looking for five star all the way – luxurious accommodation, fine dining, exquisite wines, rejuvenating spa treatments and a full range of activities/facilities.
Here in Australia, we have a wide range of luxurious options for people to enjoy. From Bedarra Island in North Queensland, to Freycinet Lodge on the East Coast of Tasmania, to Injidup Spa Retreat in Western Australia, there are a range of options to suit all tastes and to cater for all activities that people may be looking for.
Some people’s idea of luxury is a week in a Health Retreat such as the Golden Door at the Gold Coast. Others may wish to have an extravagant weekend in Melbourne, staying at the Crown Casino whilst taking in a special event – a musical or theatre production followed by dinner in one of the amazing restaurants. Perhaps take a long weekend in Uluru at the luxury wilderness camp ‘Longitude 131۫ ‘ which boasts private views of the sun rising and setting over Uluru.
Of course, you don’t have to stay in Australia either. There are amazing options for those that wish to travel overseas. Chiva Som – a renowned health and spa retreat – is always popular in Thailand, as are the Evason Resorts and Six Senses resorts which are spread throughout Asia.
For cruisers there are the amazing ‘Yachts of Seabourn’, luxury cruise ships which offer a wide range of cruises travelling throughout the world. The ships carry either 208 or 450 guests, and are well known for their luxurious comfort, personal attention and relaxed ambience.
There are a number of elite rail holiday options to consider – imagine a journey on the Orient Express, Rovos rail in South Africa or the new Southern Spirit here in Australia.
And why not travel in luxury to your destination – most airlines offer business and premium economy options, or perhaps organise limo transfers.
The options are endless, all of which will enhance your luxury get away and make you feel special.
All the best Zoe – loving all you do for us – you’re so organised and great to deal with

Travel in style, I completely agree! This is why Zoe I need you to sell The Intercontinental Fiji as a great conference destination to G J Gardner Corporate (or NSW head office!!!) The only way I’ll ever get my husband to take me 🙂
