Tasmania, with a shout out to Saffire Freycinet and On Board, features in the 10 Best Places to Travel in 2025 list by Liam Hess for Vogue.
“From most corners of the world, traveling to Australia already feels like an adventure in and of itself—even its most popular urban centres are a long-haul flight away from, well, anywhere. So to then head onto the island of Tasmania (which, unless you’re flying from New Zealand, will inevitably involve another domestic connection) may feel ambitious. But intrepid travelers will find this underrated gem more than worth the effort. There are a number of stunning hotels here—Saffire Freycinet, which has its own Tasmanian Devil sanctuary is a stand-out, as is King Island’s sleek, stylish Kittawa Lodge—but another option is to explore the region and its many islands via boat. (Local company On Board, which recently launched a new sustainably-minded luxury vessel and route, is worth checking out.) Throw in a thriving contemporary art scene—the architect-designed MONA is regularly listed as one of the best museums in the world—and some of the most ambitious and inventive restaurants in all of Australia, and you’ll find this is the kind of destination that checks every box”. —L.H.
