From Balinese-inspired retreats to estates backing onto the beach, we’ve selected a few of our favourites to make planning your next holiday a little easier.

The Grand Bali Villa, Byron Bay
Just ten minutes from Byron’s main beach and even closer to town, this luxe Balinese-inspired hideaway nails the brief for group getaways, with space to sleep you and five of your closest friends. Think plunge pools (hot and cold), freestanding tubs, a well-appointed kitchen, as well as a palatial living room.
Every bedroom has its own entrance and parking, the beds are big (kings and queens only), and yes: the Byron Bay Cookies and coffee are included. It’s private, self-contained, and blissfully indulgent, without taking itself too seriously.

The Joint, Byron Bay
If Bali in Byron isn’t quite your speed, The Joint swaps Indonesian influence for a taste of the Mediterranean. Specifically with some Moroccan flair. This classic Byron beach shack arrives with three bedrooms (all en suite), an olive tree courtyard, plus a kitchen built for long lunches and slow-cooked lamb.
Think archways, handmade ceramics, and sun-drenched spots to sip, sprawl, or socialise. Tucked behind privacy-promising bougainvillea and security gates, this is barefoot luxury at its finest – tasteful design, international influence, with just enough sun, salt, and sand to remind you where you are.

Ideal for couples, solo slow-downs, or a quiet family getaway, there’s space for everything but a house party. This one’s all serenity, no schoolies.
