It’s like there’s been a mass exodus in Hollywood, with a slew of stars including Zac Efron, Natalie Portman and of course, adopted local Chris Hemsworth relocating to New South Wales’ hottest beach destination, Byron Bay.
And unlike Tinsel Town, the likelihood of spotting these celebrities on your visit is pretty high. In fact, we’ve heard Hemsy doesn’t mind a quick selfie!
So if you’re keen to go celeb-spotting, you’re going to need the perfect place to stay, right?
Enter: Elements of Byron.

Nestled on a slice of the infamous Belongil Beach (where Zac is rumoured to be living with his new Aussie girlfriend Vanessa Valladares) just five minutes’ drive from Byron’s town centre, the serene, eco-resort is one that you won’t want to leave – aside for in search of some famous faces.
The spectacular acreage is surrounded by native fauna, wetlands and, as mentioned, a delightful stretch of sand and is perfect for a full-family or adults-only getaway.
Case in point – they’ve got an all-ages lagoon pool for you and the kids to enjoy but also an 18+ pool with a swim-up bar and cosy cabanas if you want some solo or couple time – which former Bachelorette star Georgia Love has enjoyed.
Oh, and you’ve also got direct and private access to the beach if you’d prefer. You can treat yourself to a cocktail post dip at the gorgeous Botanica bar.
And the villas? They’re fully functional with a full kitchen and bathroom/s, not to mention a fire place on your private, sheltered balcony.
Some even have a separate bath house, so it’ll feel like you’re in a day spa in your room!
Of course there’s an actual day spa called Osprey on-site, so you can go and enjoy one of their bespoke treatments which include hydrating body wraps and La Gaia facials.

Convenient, much?
If you’re feeling like you’ve been on the buggy a little too often and need to get your body moving, you can make use of the gym, join one of the morning yoga classes or have a hit at the tennis court.
How breathtaking is their Osprey Spa?!
