With lockdown restrictions beginning to ease, and intrastate travel now permitted across New South Wales, it’s time to plot your winter escape with the ultimate antidote to lockdown.

Where better place to shake off quarantine, and experience all the beauty that winter has to offer than one of the most awe-inspiring destinations in the state?

Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley Resort will reopen its doors to welcome guests on 1 July 2020. The resort offers a perfect getaway for couples, friends and family looking for a taste of freedom and a chance to reconnect with nature, and each other.

“Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is the ultimate antidote to the lockdown. We are an ultra- luxury resort that is an easy three-hour drive from Sydney,” says Tim Stanhope, General Manager. “We’re surrounded by 7,000 acres of stunning bushland, and guests have their own private villa with its own pool and fireplace. They can be as isolated or connected as they wish, and it is an ideal place to restore and rejuvenate.”

Indeed, July 1 is perfect timing because the iconic ultra-luxury resort is an ideal spot to experience all the beauty that winter has to offer. It will fill your lungs with crisp mountain air and ensnare your senses with delicious regional wines and produce. Opt for hiking, sound therapy, daily outdoor yoga, gourmet picnics or fireside cocktails.

Guests have the opportunity to choose to dine privately in their villas, or enjoy the award-winning, regionally sourced cuisine in the spacious Homestead dining room, with its sweeping views of the valley and grand stone fireplace. And there are enticing new seasonal menus bursting with the region’s finest artisan produce. 

You can spend long leisurely mornings watching the dawn creep over the mountains and the mists slowly dissipate from the valley, and soul-soothing evenings beneath star-filled skies enjoying mulled wine and toasted marshmallows by the crackling fire.

It’s the kind of indulgent experience that everyone deserves at least once. And if this luxury Blue Mountains retreat has been on your wish list for some time, then this package is certain to persuade you that now is the time.

• Villa accommodation with private pool
