Australia, New Zealand, the South Seas breathtaking climes in the southern hemisphere. Each itself a place of dreams and longing and for many people, paradise at the other end of the world. Tropical rainforests and uninhabited deserts, endless beaches and the worlds largest coral reef, remote cattle ranches, deserted gold mining towns and bustling metropolises at the latest, sometime between four and five PM when at Magic Hour the sun bathes the countryside in a mystical, surreal light, one succumbs to Australias fascination, this unbelievable land of contrasts and superlatives. With its unique flora and fauna the fabulous wilderness of New Zealand lures as well. A third of the country is under environmental protection and is like a wonderland in which time has stood still. The exorcism of picturesque lagoons and the luxuriant flowers of Polynesia transport everyone into a seemingly perpetual and cheerful serenity, the ease of simply being. The selection of exclusive hotels, lodges and resorts here are sublime complements to these extraordinary destinations. Style, comfort and technique combine historical cities, archaic wilderness or remote dreams of nature with the modernity of our times, create breathtaking vistas and at the same time maintain the singular romanticism of these refuges.
