Luxury Vacations in Australia

An island continent brimming with natural wonders and fascinating cultures both ancient and modern, Australia captivates and compels. Add in New Zealand, with its geography worthy of epic fantasy and a history all its own, and you have a truly grand adventure in the rousing A&K tradition. Venture from Australia’s fabled Outback and Great Barrier Reef to New Zealand’s dazzling Milford Sound, exploring vibrant cities like Sydney and sampling the best food and wine along the way.

Coral reefs and dense jungles, volcanic hills and river-carved plains — our world is a patchwork of astonishing environments, each hosting its own ecosystem complete with species found nowhere else. Experience eight of these places in quintessential A&K style, on a journey around the world unlike anything you have experienced. Join a group of just 50 guests on an itinerary packed with uniquely scenic, wildlife-rich destinations encompassing the island ecosystems of Bali and Tasmania; the rainforests of Costa Rica; the tropical wetland of the Brazilian Pantanal and the untamed wilderness of South Africa, each extraordinary place brought to life through A&K’s unrivaled insider access and local presence.

Australia inspires adventure with its contrasting landscapes and vibrant cities, including Melbourne and the nearby Yarra Valley winelands as well as magnificent, cosmopolitan Sydney. Experience natural wonders, both onshore and off, as you span this vast country by private air, exploring mystical Uluru, sampling outstanding wines and food, gaining insight into Indigenous peoples’ ancient connection to the land, and reveling in Australia’s coastal beauty with a stay at qualia in the stunning Whitsundays — your gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
