This Luxury Australia Vacations: Vivid Sydney vacation was planned for a couple who wanted to experience Sydney’s world-famous Vivid festival. They wanted a truly special bucket list trip to Australia, so we packed their trip with incredible local experiences you can only get in Sydney.
They started their Luxury Australia Vacations: Vivid Sydney vacation with a private transfer to their fabulous hotel, The Langham. While in Sydney, they had some incredible local experiences: surfing on Bondi Beach, a bike tour of Sydney highlights, and a twilight BridgeClimb where they were treated to 360 views of the city.
They arrived during Vivid Sydney, where the entire city comes to life in spectacular artistic displays. They were able to see historic sights—including the Sydney Opera House, Customs House, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and Taronga Zoo—illuminated in brilliant color. During their leisure days, they had plenty to explore with installations around the city, and the nighttime projections on the Sydney Opera House were unforgettable!
Next on their Luxury Australia Vacations: Vivid Sydney vacation, they went to a stunning beach retreat north of Sydney to unwind for a few days. At Pretty Beach House, they were treated to exceptional service, delicious gourmet meals, unlimited premium drinks, and beautiful surroundings. Pretty Beach House offers just 4 luxury villas, offering a tranquil and exclusive getaway.
They stayed here for 2 nights of romantic and luxurious bliss. They were welcomed with drinks and an indigenous smoking ceremony. The rest of the time was at their leisure to lounge, hike, golf, go boating on a privately chartered launch, and enjoy heavenly spa treatments. It was the perfect way to end their Luxury Australia Vacations: Vivid Sydney vacation after the hustle and bustle of the city.
At last, it was time to say goodbye to Australia. They enjoyed a private transfer back to Sydney, where they caught their flight back home.
