Australia is known for its ‘rough around the edges’ vibe, often evoking images of rugged landscapes and a host of unique—almost prehistoric—creatures and creepy-crawlies. But tucked amidst unique landscapes—from the World Heritage-listed rainforests and reefs to pristine coastal destinations and the vast, wild outback—are some of the world’s premier eco-lodges that allow you to enjoy the country’s natural wonders without having to rough it out.
Though equipped with plenty of bells and whistles, these luxury eco-lodges adhere to the highest sustainable standards, allowing you to indulge guilt-free. The limit imposed on the number of guests they are willing to accommodate at a time allows one visual and acoustic privacy and a chance to peacefully interact with nature.
