TRAVEL Here, the two sides of Byron’s personality - eclectic and ever more sophisticated - meet in an impressive allin one experience where you can revel in the carefree local vibe in five-star luxury. With three restaurants, an infinity pool, conference and wedding facilities, daily yoga sessions at sunrise and a world-class day spa, there’s absolutely no need to leave the resort. For those looking to simply unwind, Osprey Spa is a world-class facility in a tranquil, nature-inspired setting that from the moment you enter the inner sanctum will have you swooning. Each of the five therapy rooms invite the outdoors inside, opening into a private garden alcove that features an outdoor bathtub or rain head shower. The services include a range of restorative treatments that can be enjoyed alone or with a friend or loved one in a double treatment suite. For pure indulgence, treat yourself to a twohour Oceanic De-Stress Ritual, which includes a foot massage, organic salt therapy scrub, aromatherapy full-body massage and botanical facial. If being pampered isn’t your cup of iced organic herbal tea, there are plenty of other ways to fill the time at Elements of Byron. You can play a spot of tennis or head down to the Beach Lounge, a private, fenced-off beachfront area decked out with sun lounges, umbrellas and equipment hire, offering undisturbed views over Belongil Beach to Byron’s iconic lighthouse. Surfers can even check the conditions out the front of the resort before they head down, using the surf cam function on the TV in their room. Elements of Byron pays homage to the region’s eco-loving reputation through thoughtful design and architecture, with a particular focus on preserving native flora and fauna. All 103 villas include environmentally-friendly features such as digital compendiums, water-saving showers, solar power and adjustable louvre windows for natural light and airflow. Even the beauty products, by luxury Australian apothecary, Appelles, are environmentally responsible and ethical. To help you reduce your carbon footprint whilst staying at the resort, each villa has been fitted with motion sensors that control the lights and air conditioning and a function that allows you to monitor how much energy your villa is consuming in real time. Armed with this knowledge, you have the option of offsetting your carbon footprint when you check-out, with the money going towards local revegetation programs. pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 75
