The depth, diversity and quality of Australian experiential travel is part of the rich tapestry that connects each of the Luxury Lodges of Australia and Traveller Magazine explores the nuances that take these destinations beyond 5 stars, as writer Ben Groundwater shares the Best Luxury Travel Experiences in Australia and around the world.
Featured is Silky Oaks Lodge in the world’s oldest rainforest, the Daintree, which seemingly has the ability, and luxury, to stop time itself. Another splendour extending beyond the 5 star experience is that of space, and Longitude 131º offers expansive desert horizons and the privilege to cast your gaze far and wide. Surpassing the finer things in life, was the luxury of immersion, in which Bamurru Plains abounds with natural beauty, immersed in the environment where one can appreciate the unique wildlife of the Top End.
“Modern luxury is less about having the deepest pockets – although that certainly helps – and more about experiencing the things we value the most, which reach far beyond the predictable: from restorative immersion in nature, to quality food and wine, experiences of unfamiliar cultures, and access to wild and remote parts of our planet.
Above all, modern luxury is about choice, which even in these pandemic-affected times is still possible, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
From five-star digs to sleeping under the stars, there are luxury experiences aplenty to be found right here in our own bountiful backyard.” Ben Groundwater, Traveller Magazine.
