Location: Perched atop the limestone cliffs on South Australia’s wildlife-filled Kangaroo Island, located between Flinders Chase National Park and Seal Bay Conservation Park.
Rooms: The 25 suites in this dreamy eco-hotel were recently rebuilt after being destroyed by wildfires in 2019 and 2020. Guests can soak in their private plunge pool, take in sweeping views of the Indian Ocean from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and cosy up by the fireplace with a nightcap in hand.
Extras: The extras at Southern Ocean Lodge really are extra, including a secluded spa with sauna and plunge pools, intimate gymnasium, heated infinity pool, cosy reading room, walk-in cellar and brand-new restaurant overlooking the panorama of Hanson Bay.
