Sometimes pure indulgence isn’t just about the physical. Sometimes it runs deeper through the body and the soul. Some travel destinations can offer you a wonderfully chilling version of both. And legendary Byron Bay on the East Coast of Australia is all about chilling, unwinding and relaxing. It about luxuriating in body and soul. It is about the lure of the ocean. It is about yoga, massage and being in tune with yourself. It is about sunrise, surf and dolphins. Being in Byron Bay is about getting in touch with yourself again.

There is no better place to be at sunrise than heading out on the Lighthouse Loop. This 4.5 km track leads you through tropical rainforest. It’s a brilliant way to start your Byron day. From here you’ll get a panoramic view of ocean. You will see pods of dolphins swimming. Byron is a magnet for both whales and dolphins. You can hire a kayak later and even get out there and paddle with them.
