If there’s one theme that ties together all of my favorite trips, it’s finding those tucked-away island gems, incredible wildlife and nature, and of course, a great glass of w**e. 🌿🏝️🍷.
When I planned our Australia trip, I knew that was exactly how I wanted to craft our itinerary. While it was a LOT of domestic flights to get where I wanted to go, I’m so happy we ended the trip at Kangaroo Island, which is located just south of Adelaide.
There’s really only one luxury accommodation on KI and boy, let me tell you, it’s a stunner. The Southern Ocean Lodge is a beautiful, award-winning eco-sanctuary tucked into the cliffside, where kangaroos, koalas, sea lions, and countless native birds are all part of the experience. Days are spent exploring dramatic coastal cliffs, spotting wildlife, tasting incredible local w**es, and ending with unforgettable sunsets under some of the clearest night skies.
Kangaroo Island is often called Australia’s “Galápagos” thanks to its abundance of native wildlife, yet it still flies under the radar for many travelers. If you’re looking for a destination that combines luxury, sustainability, adventure, exceptional food and w**e, and a true sense of place, this remote spot is one you’ll never forget.
It’s proof that sometimes the best luxury escapes are the ones hiding at the edge of the world. 🌎
