escape to luxury

Excitement is building ahead of the opening next month of Heart Hotel & Gallery Whitsundays, a landmark new development scheduled to open mid September in Airlie Beach.

Alluxia's Sally Scott discovers a secret hilltop hideaway just a stroll from Hastings Street.

Beautiful Burleigh is the destination of choice for laid-back locals and in-the-know travellers, who've discovered there's more to the Gold Coast than the glitter strip.

International travellers have been flocking to the Fraser Coast in recent years for its natural beauty, whale watching adventures and frolicking on Fraser Island. However, it's the bayside beauty of Hervey Bay that gets my vote for a relaxing weekend getaway.

In the early days of alluxia, I was conducting site inspections of Byron Bay houses and unique accommodation to start our collection and met with the charming owner of a relatively well-known property.

I have a confession to make; I'm falling a little bit more in love with the Gold Coast, every time I visit. In recent years, the GC has received a bad rap in the media, particularly Surfers Paradise, but we saw none of that on our recent trip. So, if you're looking for a great night out with friends and fun in the sun, then you'll find it here on the GC!
