See Sydney’s iconic sights

With three nights to enjoy Australia’s biggest city, there’s time to explore New South Wales’ rural gems, with a private excursion to the Blue Mountains to get a glimpse of dizzying clifftops, waterfalls, and unique Aussie wildlife from the world’s steepest cableway.

And you won’t be staying just anywhere. Ranked among the best hotels in the world, Capella Sydney combines old-world elegance with world-class service in one of the city’s most coveted neighbourhoods.

It’s just a few minutes’ walk to the harbour where you’ll take in views of the Sydney Opera House… which is where you’ll be heading for a lavish three-course meal at Bennelong, the award-winning fine-dining restaurant set within its swooping sails.

Tuck into Melbourne’s foodie scene

Spend three nights immersed in Melbourne, sipping up the celebrated coffee culture, losing yourself in its laneways lined with vibrant street art, and dining out at world-class restaurants. You’ll stay at The Langham, an opulent hotel on the banks of the Yarra River, with glittering city views and elegant, timeless rooms.

You’ll be whisked away to the lush green countryside of the Yarra Valley, around an hour from the city – one of Southern Australia’s oldest and most prominent wine regions. Raise a glass to your trip of a lifetime as you sample a variety of premium tastings before a long lunch in the vineyard.

Marvel at the magic of Uluru

A vast, rust-red rock jutting proudly from acres of rugged desert, Uluru is an iconic symbol of Australia and one of the country’s most sacred Indigenous sites. Here in its shadow, your luxury base is Sails in the Desert, an elegant retreat offering contemporary comfort amid the raw beauty of the Red Centre.

As dusk falls, you’ll be taken to a private sand dune overlooking Ayers Rock for a front-row seat to one of nature’s most dramatic sunsets, glass of Australian sparkling wine in hand.

Then walk into the Field of Light, an art installation of 50,000 glowing spheres by artist Bruce Munro, as it transforms the desert into a breathtaking patchwork of shifting colours.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef

A trip to Australia wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of the world’s most incredible natural wonders: the Great Barrier Reef. Hamilton Island is the tropical paradise at the gateway to the reef, famed for its pristine white-sand beaches and dramatic scenery. 

Shaded by eucalyptus trees with spectacular views across Dent Passage and the Whitsundays to the Coral Sea, your home for three nights is a luxurious timber beach pavilion at exclusive adults-only resort qualia.

From here, the island and its surrounding waters are yours to explore, with a private electric golf buggy, personalised beach drop-offs and access to paddleboards, catamarans and snorkelling gear all included.

Set sail across turquoise waters for a full-day Great Barrier Reef adventure, where you’ll have the chance to snorkel among vibrant coral gardens and swim alongside extraordinary marine life.

From internal flights to private transfers, every step of the journey is taken care of – all you have to do is pack your suitcase. We’ll even throw in £500 spending money so you can add any extras your heart desires.

From the Sydney Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef, this is Australia at its most spectacular. Enter now for your chance to experience it all.
