10 idyllic Australian hotels by the sea
With over 25,000km of coastline, you can guarantee that Australia - the world's largest island - boasts some pretty spectacular beaches. And spectacular beaches come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, from the sweeping pure white sands of Cable Beach near Broome, to a private stretch of coconut-palm-lined shore on Palm Cove, Queensland.
Every Australian beach is different. Some are long and open and stretch for miles. Others are boulder-strewn, backdropped by dramatic limestone cliffs, or in tiny inlets. Still more have waterfronts and boardwalks bustling with restaurants and surf shacks. Many beaches come right up into the bush, especially in World Heritage Areas such as Fraser Island, the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. It's often possible to launch into a bush and beach adventure on the same day.
We've cherry-picked some of the best boutique hotels that Australia's diverse coastline offers – from a world-class architect-designed wellness spa to a quirky vintage waterfront hotel. Kick back and truly unwind.
