A journey to Australia takes the traveller into the far reaches of the imagination. Here is one of the world’s oldest continents – an extraordinary landscape where humans have lived for more than 50,000 years.

Travelling with Relais & Châteaux is to experience the far reaches of the globe in a magical way. Each of Australia’s five Relais & Châteaux properties is a remarkable place to savour the pleasures and wonders of this vast continent.

From the astonishing size of Ayers Rock to the multicoloured majesty of snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef, from the awe of pristine rain forests to the experience of the Outback — who could possibly have dreamt up such wonders?

Born a British penal colony, Australia today is a land of culture and contrasts – of fine dining and cool cafes in groomed suburbs, of rugged outback adventures, of lush forests, iconic beaches and vineyards with endless horizons. This land is vast beyond dreaming, a place of infinite surprises, ready for you to explore on your own Route du Bonheur.
