Sydney is a city of many faces. There’s the Sydney of natural beauty, surrounded with sparkling water and lush national parks. There is the corporate Sydney, with people in business suits busily running back and forth like worker ants to make this one of the most thriving global cities. There is the Sydney of extreme nightlife, with festivals and nightclubs and bars that open all night and into the next day. Then there is the Sydney of indulgence—the one that offer spa treatments and luxury accommodation and world-class dining. If you’re the kind of traveller who likes to do things in style, you simply have to visit Sydney—now! Get that travel insurance paid for and those airline tickets booked, because the Harbour City is just waiting to wine and dine you!

Food and Wine

If you’re into a little indulgence of the taste bud variety, Sydney won’t disappoint. It’s a city full of opportunities to sample nature’s bounty, put together in incredibly creative ways by some of the world’s most talented chefs. If you’re really looking for something special, Tetsuya’s Restaurant in the city is a Sydney icon, and certainly a must-try for those who want an unparalleled culinary experience. Tetsuya’s is the brainchild of celebrated chef Tetsuya Wakuda, a Japanese-born, Sydney-based chef who fuses textures, flavours and cultures together in completely unique and exciting ways. There is no menu at Tetsuya’s, you simply pay a flat rate and give yourself over to the experience. With items like beef and truffle foam on the menu, you can rest assured; you’ve never tasted food like this before.

Relaxation

If you’re looking to unwind on your holiday (and really, who isn’t?) then Sydney is a great place to come for some spoiling. Whether it’s a massage, spa treatment or beauty procedure you’re looking for, Sydney is well positioned to meet your whims. The Four Seasons Hotel has an amazing spa package, and with some of the most talented masseuses in the country you know you’re going to get all that tension worked out of you. If you want a cleansing procedure or a range of therapeutic treatments, the Last Resort Health and Well Being Spa in North Bondi is the perfect destination, and nestled just a few streets back from the beach, everything about this establishment is soothing.

Sights in Style

Continue the spoiling by taking in the sights of the city in style. Book a Sydney Harbour cruise and take in a gourmet lunch as you sail around the crystal bays and inlets of Sydney Harbour, gazing at the mansions that line the water and daydreaming about moving here permanently. Alternatively, charter a yacht and sail out into the open water, stopping in at a few ports up and down the coast. You can even stretch the trip out over a few days…for a price.

Sydney is a city with something to offer everyone, but if you’re into spoiling yourself or indulging in the finer things in life, Sydney will prove especially enjoyable.
