Ultra Luxury Melbourne Holidays
The cosmopolitan city is famous for its eclectic maze of narrow streets and pedestrian paths called laneways. Leftover from the original urban planning, no laneway is the same, and they're brimming with street art, coffee shops, unique boutiques and restaurants. There are over 40 laneways that take you through the heart of Melbourne's Central Business District (CBD).
Melbourne is bisected by the Yarra River, which flows out to Hobsons Bay. The CBD area is teeming with restaurants, bars and shopping around Federation Square, Bourke Street and Collins Street. On the south side of the river, Southbank is a former industrial zone turned trendy neighbourhood, home to luxury hotels and a casino.
The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) has popular modernist art exhibitions, and it's one of Australia's oldest museums. The open-air Queen Victoria Market sells all manner of souvenirs and snacks, and the Shrine of Remembrance shares stories of Australian wartime. You can get a panoramic perspective from the 300-metre-high Eureka Skydeck and escape into nature at the Royal Botanic Gardens. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Melbourne, as there are also national monuments, a zoo, sports stadiums and much more to explore.

Melbourne in a nutshell
Eau De Vie is a fine bar and cocktail lounge that looks like it has come straight from the 1920s. Expect a plethora of alcohol lined up at the bar behind you, with a glamorous whiskey roof if you prefer something stronger. The Library is a great place to privately dine too, with enough room for up to 16 guests.
Lux has it all for a fantastic night out, complete with a dance floor, chandeliers, and decadent booths. Expect an eclectic night with circus performers dancing to music from the 80s and 90s. You will be singing along, knowing every word, as you party in this star-studded spot. It has quickly become one of the trendiest and most upmarket clubs, so this is a place you don’t want to miss out on.
Tastes To Try
Maha is centrally located in the city, offering beautiful Middle Eastern dishes. Tuck into fabulous fare loved by locals and holidaymakers alike. You can also enjoy a burger and a beer courtesy of the weekday lunch special if you fancy some home comforts.
For an eclectic mix of cuisine inspired by Executive Chef Adam D’Sylva’s worldwide travels, you can expect a wide range of dishes to devour, most having Asian influences, at Coda. A short walk from Yarra River, this Southbank eatery has romantic décor perfect for a date night.
You don't need to visit France to sample some of the world's top croissants. Lune Croissanterie is a Melbourne institution dedicated to the art of making croissants. They use mathematics to create the perfect level of crispiness and flakiness, so expect to be returning each morning!
Soak Up The Culture
The City Circle Tram is a fantastic way to see all the sites of Melbourne for the grand price of absolutely nothing. Venture through the streets of the city, finding hidden hotspots that you will probably have missed when travelling via the subway or in a taxi. If you can get one that isn’t too busy, you are in for an amazing whirlwind tour.
The Shrine of Remembrance is one of Melbourne’s most important sites commemorating the Australian men and women who have lost their lives at war. With lush gardens and stories by real soldiers, it's a moving landmark that you will just have to experience for yourself.
For culture vultures, the Southbank district is well-known for its fantastic restaurants, shops and entertainment facilities with street performers and markets everywhere you look. Make sure you head down to see the sights and sounds of one of the most up-and-coming places in the city.
As a UNESCO City of Literature, Melbourne has inspired generations of writers. The State Library of Victoria was one of the city's first cultural institutions and among Australia's oldest. The city is also home to independent bookshops as well as a busy calendar of literary events and festivals.
