escape to luxury

Hello 2016! As we start a new year, it's a great opportunity to review our new & noteworthy holiday houses & boutique hotels added to the alluxia collection this summer. From coastal cool getaways in Palm Cove to luxury holiday houses on the rugged coastline of Tasmania's East Coast, we've got plenty of unique getaways to surprise and delight even the most discerning of travellers.

Explore the collection in full confidence that alluxia independently verifies the properties listed for their quality and inspect the properties to ensure our handpicked collection is the best of the best in each region of Australia for you.

As we kick start a new year, we're taking a moment to reflect on the amazing places we've been and the people we've met over the past 12 months. In 2015, we travelled across Australia searching for the best of the best in each region and here is the list of our favourite, memorable and jaw dropping accommodation that we recommend you add to your bucket list for 2016!

It's been a brilliantly busy year here at alluxia. Over the last 12 months we've travelled to 25+ destinations across Australia unearthing hidden gems for you to enjoy and discover. We've added over 100 new luxury holiday houses and boutique hotels for you to love & book, all visited or independently verified to ensure quality for our discerning readers.

To wrap up 2015, we've decided to compile a Top 10 list of the most read, shared & commented articles as decided by you our guests, followers & readers.

Looking for inspiring recipes to use the leftover Christmas ham? Our all time favourite is Bill Granger's Ham Lasagne, we've made it a gazillion times and it's a real crowd pleaser, so we're sharing the recipe here with you. I've also made this on holidays as it's super simple, feeds a hungry crowd and can also be frozen for lazy summer nights...
