Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island Named In TIME World’s Greatest Places List

As works continue in the rebuild of Baillie Lodges flagship property Southern Ocean Lodge, TIME has named South Australia’s Kangaroo Island as one of 50 extraordinary travel destinations around the world for 2023.

Today’s announcement details the third annual list of TIME’s World’s Greatest Places. To compile this list, TIME solicited nominations of places — including countries, regions, cities and towns — from its international network of correspondents and contributors, with an eye toward those offering new and exciting experiences.

Baillie Lodges founder James Baillie said today’s recognition in the TIME World’s Greatest Places 2023 list was a wonderful boost of encouragement as the team prepared to reopen the globally celebrated luxury lodge in December this year.

“We are full steam ahead on the build on the coast of Kangaroo Island and we can’t wait to reopen Southern Ocean Lodge and welcome guests back to this special part of the world once again,” Mr Baillie said.

The full TIME World’s Greatest Places list will be featured in the April 10 / April 17, 2023, double issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, March 17.
