Great Southern

Goode Beach
A fully secluded million-dollar beach house minutes from the finest slice of coast this side of Australia—you just know a stay at Latitude 35º5 is going to be pure magic.

This is heaven, right here.
North West
El Questro
Kimberly Region
Nestled on a beautiful red cliff gorge in the Kimberley sits El Questro; a seriously spectacular hideaway surrounded by untamed natural beauty and truly amazing views. You can choose to stay at the safari-style tented cabins of Emma Gorge, situated among 700,000 acres of natural landscape heaven and swimming holes; the resort-style bungalows of El Questro Station on the banks of the Pentecost River; or go all out and book the private Homestead and enjoy complimentary excursions and a gourmet three-course meal to end each day. Just note this one closes during the wet season (November to March) so you're best locking this in for later this year.
Sal Salis
Exmouth
Sal Salis is a remote beachside safari camp in the dunes of Cape Range National Park on the shores of Ningaloo Reef, featuring 16 ‘wilderness tents’. What’s a wilderness tent, you ask? It’s a tent that sits on a raised platform (away from the dangerous insects, thank you) fitted with a jarrah bed, cotton sheets and an en suite bathroom. You’ll be entrenched right into nature, waking up to the sound of singing birds and surrounded by kangaroos grazing on the dunes. Sal Salis also offers communal long table dining with meals prepared by their expert chefs, snorkelling equipment, kayaks and a library full of books so you're bound to find plenty of ways to unwind.
Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa
Broome
If you know anything about Broome, chances are you’ve heard of Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa. This is where you can really live it up. Four restaurants, an adults-only ocean pool, the Chahoya Spa and Salon by L’Occitane and a cocktail menu as long as your arm—if you’re headed there, we’re jealous. Be sure to go for a camel ride along the beach (which, by the way, is right on your doorstep) at sunset before you go.
