Fresh from a recent design refurb by Sydney-based interior designer Tamsin Johnson, the hotel’s seven suites are a calm oasis of whites, neutrals, raw linens, hand-woven rattan and carefully selected finishes, while the curvaceous facade is Greek-villa white, offset by timber shutters, bangalow palms and a green lawn, which leads down to the beach.

The on-site, underground Raes Day Spa is the ultimate place to relax and unwind—a magical, Moroccan-inspired cave with curved walls adorned with champagne-hued Italian Mother-of-Pearl tiles. Rae’s highly skilled spa therapists specialise in all forms of massage and skincare therapy that can be tailored to your skin concerns and condition. Their massage techniques are firm yet deeply relaxing, sending you into a state of indulgent bliss.

Our favourite treatments to unwind whilst restoring your balance and well-being has to be Raes Signature Massage and Facial. The treatment is built around the unique Santa Maria Novella Spa line, which are natural products inspired by the ancient traditions of Italian pharmacies, fused with the renowned healing properties of plants and local flowers.

You will undoubtedly leave Raes rejuvenated and glowing—but ready to head back in a heartbeat.
