Western Australia
Perth
Perth encapsulates the best of all worlds, with pristine beaches, modern city lifestyle and the warm, laid-back nature of its locals. The capital of Western Australia is the gateway to the iconic Rottnest Island, Fremantle and so much more.
Location
Qantas now offers a non-stop flight from London to Perth, a journey of approximately 17 hours. Qantas and Virgin Australia each offer direct flights to Perth from all major cities in Australia which take five to six hours. Or if you’d rather savour the journey, the legendary Indian Pacific train ride is a trip of lifetime, departing from Sydney and journeying through vineyards, riverlands and the expansive Nullarbor Plain over three days.
Stay
The Ritz-Carlton hotel at Elizabeth Quay rises proudly as a brand-new luxury destination for those wishing to experience the very best of Perth.
Experience
The stunning nature reserve of Rottnest Island makes for a postcard-perfect day. Fly out in time for a snorkel tour and private lunch on one of its several white sandy beaches, before trying to snap a selfie with the loveable local wildlife – the quokka.
