From coastal seclusion to red-earth romance, these retreats offer a bold take on luxury in the land of boundless adventure.
Feature by Tourism Western Australia
In Western Australia, luxury is layered — it’s barefoot and unfiltered, as much about the rawness of place as the polish of your stay. Here, you’ll drift from oceanfront pools to ancient rock formations, from vineyard-dappled hills to desert skies ablaze with stars. These 10 stays across the State offer a sensory escape: designed to move you, ground you, and recharge you in ways you didn’t expect.
