Full of laidback Aussie charm and contemporary style, Elements of Byron sits amid rainforest, lakes and lagoons alongside a lovely stretch of Belongil Beach, close to the boho shops and restaurants of Byron Bay. The low-rise architecture blends seamlessly into the natural environment, while the light-filled private villas come with neutral tones and modern chic. The hotel’s environmental credentials are extensive and include the world’s first solar-powered steam train, which shuttles guests to and from Byron Bay town, just three-kilometres away.
The range of private villas and facilities here make this a great choice for both couples and families. Spread across the resort’s 20-acre site, the villas are located to maximise privacy. Interiors are full of contemporary styling, with hardwood floors, a restful neutral palette and modern amenities including Bose Audio System and Wi-Fi.
