Luxury vacations in Sydney

With some of the world’s best beaches and incredible weather in the summer, there’s nothing quite like a vacation in Australia. From the Opera House and designer shopping in Paddington, to beach walking in Bondi and luxury accommodation, Sydney in particular has a lot to offer all year round.

Go wine tasting in the Hunter Valley

Escape for the day to the Hunter Valley for some of the best wine tasting options in Australia. If beer is more your thing, watch the world go by with a cold schooner or two in busy Darling Harbour, where street performers keep crowds entertained on sunny afternoons.

Hit the beach

For some sunny beach strolling that is a must-do in Sydney on a summer’s day, head to Bondi. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a sidewalk café and then either walk it off along the rocks towards Tamarama, or cheat and catch a taxi or a private car to Coogee. Catching the ferry to Taronga Zoo is also a great way to spend an afternoon. All of this can be arranged to suit your own vacation desires.

Shop (and eat) ’til you drop

Saturday is the best day for shopping in Sydney, with markets in Bondi, Paddington and a wonderful farmers’ market in Eveleigh. Try those artisan cheeses and fruits for a real taste of Australia before spending the evening with a bottle of sparkling wine and a fish or seafood dinner at the Opera House in Sydney Harbour.

Take a scenic flight or heli-tour over Sydney

A Sydney heli-tour is a great way to see the sights and enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Soar above world-famous Sydney icons such as the Opera House, Bondi Beach, Taronga Zoo and more. Contact Concierge Traveller for exclusive deals and packages in Sydney that include heli-tours and snap some photos of iconic scenery from the sky.

Where to stay in Sydney

For elegance and immaculate service, as well as easy walking distance to many of Sydney’s highlights, you can’t beat a stay at the Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney. With views of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge from the windows, you’re even in the right location to sign up for that last-minute Harbour Bridge Walk along the top of the world famous landmark.

You know you’re in for a food-high at Shangri-La’s Altitude Restaurant, where executive chef Steven Krasicki whips up award-winning dishes on a nightly basis to be served with spectacular views of Sydney’s glittering skyline.

The Park Hyatt Sydney is another gorgeous and luxurious accommodation option, flooded with light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows. You’ll also find Australian artists on display and an art gallery of unique artifacts, plus 155 comfy guest rooms and suites. The Spa is a destination in itself, complete with a relaxation room, steam room, rooftop heated pool, cabanas and spa, and a fitness centre for working off all that delicious Australian wine.
