Noosa Crest

We can spot a face-lift from a mile away and Noosa Crest’s recent cosmetic update is no different—except that we’re noticing it for all the right reasons! Sitting atop Noosa Hill, this self-contained resort is in a league of its own when it comes to panoramic views of Noosa Heads and beyond. Splurge on a penthouse and you’ll be working on that tan on your very own rooftop deck, complete with a plunge pool for cooling off. Swim, sunbathe, sleep, repeat. We’re already feeling relaxed!
