Escape to: Noosa

Once a quiet enclave on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, Noosa is now one of Australia’s most thriving and beloved beachside destinations. Experience a slice of paradise through the lens of one of its most stylish locals.

Scents of the city

Top Note: The ocean and the beautiful beaches.

Heart Note: The chic and understated lifestyle of Noosa - great restaurants, relaxed coastal life - it is something that is really unmatched to anywhere else.

Base Note: The lifestyle aspects that keep you coming back - early morning coastal walks, swimming all day and the relaxed state that you slip into as soon as you arrive.

Local flavours

Go-to restaurant for catching up with friends: For a casual dinning experience I will take friends to Theo’s Wine Bar, followed by Somedays Pizza. For a special occasion or if it’s your first time to Noosa, Sails is a must! I try to book a table closest to the beach.

Favourite spot for weekend coffee: Vanilla Foods or Nilla’s Pantry serve the best coffee.

Shopping for fresh produce or local specialties: Organica Noosa is my go to and Noosa Farmers market on every Sunday.

A view to remember

The Noosa National Park coastal walk. It’s one of the most spectacular aspects of the coast and the best beaches to swim.

The city's soundtrack

Noosa's signature sound would be crashing ocean waves and the buzz of people relaxing and dining along the beach front of Hasting Street.

Feel it for yourself

The most immersive and hands-on way to experience Noosa is definitely a morning walk along the coast and a swim to invigorate you for the day.
