escape to luxury

There's something happening in the Canberra wine region and it's a real game-changer.

I have a confession to make. When travelling across Australia checking out new properties to add to the alluxia collection, mostly I'm travelling solo. It may look all-glamorous in a bunch of idyllic locations, but there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes. Luckily, it's not all business though and I usually try and schedule some down time to explore each destination, unearthing what's new, unique and different to share with our readers.

Truffle season is in full swing!

There is no need to go overseas for a luxury spa holiday;  venture just 25 minutes from Cairns to the Alamanda Palm Cove for the ultimate tropical spa getaway!  This luxurious all-suite hotel is the only hotel in Palm Cove to offer absolute beachfront accommodation, with only palm trees between you and the stunning Palm Cove beach.

Nestled in the Byron Bay Hinterland, family-run Cape Byron Distillery is a must-visit for gin lovers. The distillery is a great place to learn more about gin and grow your gin appreciation.
