We love learning new languages, and particularly jargon—it makes us feel more local when we travel. A bit of Aussie slang you might not know is “woop woop”, meaning a place that’s in the middle of nowhere— and the perfect setting for one of this year’s biggest travel trends: going off the grid.
With a country the size of Australia, there are plenty of places where you can get away from it all. And while the famous destinations of Sydney Harbour, Melbourne’s colourful laneways or the incredible (albeit often crowded) Great Barrier Reef are definitely worth visiting, there are far more options for a holiday Down Under. If you like to stay in vogue when it comes to vacations, consider one of these ultra-luxurious private lodges hidden far away from civilisation. Glamp amid the red sand of the Simpson Desert, or look down on the world from treehouse-chic accommodation in the depths of the world’s oldest living rainforest.
We’ve picked out some of the best and bougiest off-grid offerings, just for you.
