Escape into the wild on an Australian adventure where the Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley resort provides ultra-luxury conservation-based villa accommodations on just one percent of a 2,800-hectare nature reserve. A scenic three-hour drive from Sydney, discover the same beauty of the Wolgan Valley that Charles Darwin was amazed by in 1836, with all the modern conveniences. The resort boasts a tranquil natural spa with valley views, three dining options, including the Wolgan Dining Room in the Main Homestead, and signature experiences that embrace the resort’s wideranging conservation efforts like safaris, horse riding and heritage tours.

Beyond the resort, guests can take in nearby UNESCO World Heritage Sites like the Greater Blue Mountains Area and Gondwana Rainforests of Australia – the former consisting of sandstone plateaux, escarpments and gorges dominated by temperate eucalypt forest. The latter is situated predominantly along the Great Escarpment on Australia’s east coast featuring volcanic craters and rare and threatened rainforest species of international significance for science and conservation.

With conservation at the heart of this journey, Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley is the first hotel in the world to achieve internationally accredited carbon-neutral certification by CarbonZero, a distinction it continues to receive every year. Few landscapes are as raw and untouched, with luxury accommodations beyond what most have ever experienced.
