Australia and Pacific

The world's largest island and its Pacific neighbours offer a diversity of experiences to amaze even the most seasoned traveler.

Australia's most desirable experiences are tucked away in some of the country's most spectacular terrain. Be immersed in the splendor of the Barrier Reed or the raw wilderness of the Kimberleys. Relax in secluded retreats of the Margaret River or enjoy pure indulgence with champagne and sensational views of the sun setting over Uluru. For quiet contemplation, take advantage of the geographically amazing vistas of the Blue Mountains or Marine haven Ningaloo Reef. Australia will delight your senses and palate with the finest wines and gourmet cuisine - a perfect way to relax after a day of discovery.

Nearby, and now one of the world's most desirable travel destinations, is New Zealand, where private retreats allow you to discover an unspoilt heritage. It's a land of dramatic contrasts and natural beauty - from the rolling green hills and tranquil beaches of the North Island to the dramatic alpine and fjordland scenery of the South Island. Luxurious hideaways are all over New Zealand. Some by the crystal clear waters of lakes or private streams, some are on the doorstep of magnificent golf courses and other by the backdrop of the impressive coastline or snowcapped peaks. Enjoy classically inspired food with a glass of vintage wine, sitting beside a crackling log fire. New Zealand is a rich, seductive retreat, far removed from the bustle of this busy world.

Just across the ocean is the Pacific - an untouched paradise. Translucent lagoons, with abundant sea life, white sandy beaches and superb over-water bungalows ensure relaxation. On a clear night, the sky sparkles with stars that quiver like a mirage on the horizon, and the sea breeze warms this untouched paradise, while you enjoy candle lit dinners on soft sand beaches. The elegance and romance of the South Pacific will remain forever in your dreams
