“A striking Spanish Mission-style villa perched on Wategos Beach, this glamorous hotel has its roots in the swinging '60s. Reimagined as a seven-suite gem with pale textiles, handmade tiles, soft curves & beautiful views, it's now a Byron boutique favourite. The spa & gourmet eatery are sensational.”
