Just us, or did 2017 whiz by in a flash?
This year, alluxia celebrated 5 fabulous years of delivering luxury holidays and inspiration to travellers. We celebrated our birthday by giving away a brilliant prize thanks to Breeze Mooloolaba, Love Noosa and Wanderers Travel Co.
This year we also 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 guests.
Thanks for following and engaging with us on social media – we love it! We'd love to see how you're spending the summer break, share your travel adventures and inspiration by using the hashtag #luxuryfound so our community can follow along!
