Signature Luxury Travel & Style
Reconnect amid nature
A protected nature reserve just off the coast from Perth, Rottnest Island is known for its friendly resident quokkas, blissful beaches and long stretches of ocean. This is your backdrop when you check in to the freshly minted Samphire Rottnest, celebrating this West Australian landscape from the moment you arrive. Overlooking Thomson Bay, the retreat’s 80 rooms are barefoot-luxe in design – think pale wood-panelled walls, breezy linen curtains and sisal matting giving way to stone bathrooms. Classy, yet pared-back, to let the coastal drama outside your floor-toceiling windows steal the show. All accommodations come with private balconies, but the outlook is just as dreamy from beside the lagoon-style pools, crafted by leading Perth architects Christou Design Group to embrace the setting, as well as the island’s Mediterranean climate. Experiences on offer are all about rediscovering the great outdoors – call on your ‘activities coordinator’ for a personalised itinerary. samphirerottnest.com.au
