How is it Christmas already? Where did 2016 go, but aren't we quietly happy that it's going! Do you feel that way too?
What a year it's been. This year, alluxia celebrated 4 years of delivering luxury holidays and inspiration to style conscious travellers. This year we travelled to dozens of destinations around 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 and book, all independently verified or inspected to ensure quality for our discerning travellers.
We celebrated our birthday with a brilliant prize thanks to Elements of Byron and David Lawrence. This kickstarted a fabulous partnership with David Lawrence, which will continue into 2017...watch this space! This partnership culminated in a photo shoot with the stunning Ovolo Woolloomooloo as the backdrop. Way out of my comfort zone, but such a fun experience!
Thanks for following and engaging on social media – we love it! We started the hashtag #luxuryfound so that our followers can share their travel inspiration, follow along!
In September, we attended Luxperience, our annual pilgrimage to discover what's and what's hot in luxury and experiential travel. We also attended Problogger, networking with inspiring bloggers and hearing the latest in technology, influencer marketing and social.
We hosted some great bloggers at our handpicked luxury properties including BabyMac at Long Weekend Retreat, Little Miss Melbourne at Alex Perry Hotel & Apartments, Sarah Wilson at Bells at Killcare to name a few.
