The Golden Triangle
Days 1 to 5 Sydney
There are several contenders for the most des res property in Sydney but we believe that the Park Hyatt has the edge, especially for those who set a high premium on location. It’s bang on the Harbour, with the Bridge to port, the distinctive ‘sails’ of the Opera House to starboard. In fact it’s so close to the water that you can lie in bed at night and hear the ocean gently sloshing below your window. The views are to die for, both from the rooms and from the restaurant. And within minutes you can be pottering around the streets of the historic Rocks, taking your seat at the Opera or boarding one of the armada of ferries that will lead you across the Harbour to Manly, or under the Bridge to Darling Harbour. Alternatively, if your main aim is to relax and unwind, you might choose to indulge in a massage at the hotel’s spa.
Days 6 and 7 Uluru
Longitude 131º is the most exclusive of all the properties within sight and striking range of the Rock. Inspired by some of Africa’s leading bush camps, it is a luxurious, tented resort. Although the fifteen tents are perched on an isolated sand dune, they’re all air-conditioned, with proper windows and a veranda offering uninterrupted views.
Days 8 to 12 Lizard Island
Why, of all the islands that lie off the Queensland coast, have we picked Lizard as the third corner of this Oz-in-style triangle? Location, for starters. Lizard is one of a tiny number of islands set on the Reef itself, so you can expect spectacular snorkelling and diving - nearby Cod Hole is one of the most famous dive sites Down Under - as well as fishing for marlin. On land, there are two dozen white sand beaches (such is the unspoken rule that if you turn up to find someone already on one of them you move on to the next!).
The whole island is also a national park with miles of sign-posted bush trails. Combine these natural assets with impeccable service and superb, ‘fresh from the Reef ’ food and you have an island escape that’s hard to match anywhere in the world. Accommodation is in 40 rooms, all with views of the beach, plus a spa, a gym and a pool. Utterly beautiful.
