Barefoot at Broken Head

Walk barefoot from this oceanside villa to the sands of Broken Head, a favorite beach for families and surfers in the Byron Bay region. Take the villa’s surfboard and conquer one of the top point-breaks in the world. Then return for poolside lounging and home-cooked feasts amid the sounds of  kookaburra birds and the rhythmic sea. This contemporary oasis emphasizes the lush natural beauty of Australia’s easternmost edge. Designed and built around 3 age-old pine trees, it features ample outdoor living areas and broad doorways that breathe the dune-softened air. Enjoy a workout in the 20-meter lap pool or simply relax in the shallow lounge pool under the open sky. Make the most of the villa’s bicycles and paddle board, or curl up with a favorite book in the dappled afternoon shade. Kindle the barbecue in the evening and relish an alfresco meal with a bottle of Australian wine.  The Northern Rivers region of New South Wales has something for everyone, from its extraordinary beaches, to the restaurants and cafes of Byron Bay town, to the history and panoramic views of Byron Bay Lighthouse. If you’ve never surfed before, this is definitely the place to try a first lesson, while skydiving and deep-sea fishing also beckon to thrill-seeking travelers. Explore the bohemian enclave of Nimbin and visit one of the area’s artisan and farmers markets. Nature-lovers will want to visit Broken Head Nature Reserve, Arakwal National Park,  and the Cape Bay Walking Track. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

La Reserve

Palm fronds dance over the driveway, framed by panoramic forest views from this warm-hearted contemporary home 10 minutes outside Byron Bay. It’s nestled into 2 acres in Broken Head Forest, so rainforest canopy fills floor-to-ceiling windows and rustling leaves serves as soundtrack. A 7-minute drive leads to the family-friendly beach and surf break at Broken Head Beach. Morning coffee and alfresco dinners are a breeze on the covered alfresco sitting area and the umbrella-shaded outdoor dining table. Follow the steps past a sun-splashed terrace and shaded loungers to the private infinity pool overlooking the forest.  Drawing inspiration from mid-century ranch homes, with their vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows, the villa takes the airy feel to another level with a slide-away glass wall between great room and terrace. Blond-wood details adorn the living and dining areas, and a waterfall countertop adds even more natural texture in the skylight-brightened, fully equipped kitchen. A separate family room has a sectional perfect for stretching out and watching TV. It’s just a 4-minute drive from the villa’s relative seclusion to Broken Head Beach, a sandy curve tucked beneath the headland that’s often quieter than some of the area’s other beaches. If you’re looking for beach festivals, surf lessons, whale-watching and snorkeling excursions, and great shopping and dining, make the 10-minute drive to Byron Bay. Copyright © Luxury Retreats.
