There is no doubt that Australia is a stunning country. There are so many wonderful places to explore, made all the more amazing if you choose to explore in luxury. You can relax and admire the beauty that surrounds you, enjoy exquisite cuisine and benefit from the spa treatments that are available at many luxury resorts.

If you are intending to travel by road, you need to make sure that you have a vehicle that is suitable for the trip. Ensure that your own vehicle is serviced and prepared, or take a look at sites such as DriveNow Rentals, to hire a vehicle instead. Then, all you need to do is decide on your luxury destination. Here are five inspiring ideas.

This resort is situated within the splendour of the Blue Mountains. It’s an unforgettable location. All accommodation at the resort comes with its own private terrace and plunge pool. You can also enjoy the many activities that are provided, and include adventure walks, horse riding, tennis and spa treatments. After a day spent enjoying these activities, you can enjoy the fine cuisine which is produced using locally sourced ingredients.

One&Only Hayman Island

You cannot get much more luxurious than a resort which is on its own island. This applies to One&Only Hayman Island which is located in the stunning Whitsundays. You can take a walk through the picturesque gardens or feel the sand under your feet as you stroll along the pristine white beach. The accommodation at the resort comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, including rooms, suites and villas.
