With pristine beaches, abundant natural beauty and a flourishing health and wellness scene, Byron Bay is a prestige property market that has not only captured national interest but global attention as well. Holiday home co-ownership platform Ko has several luxury listings in the area, so we thought it was time to explore what Byron Bay has to offer. 

Byron Bay is a coastal paradise located in northern New South Wales, near the border of Queensland. From spectacular beaches with crystal-clear waters to lush rainforests and waterfalls, it is a popular destination for holiday-makers looking to escape their cities. With its unique blend of bohemian culture and luxury living, Byron Bay offers a lifestyle that is both refreshing and invigorating.

You couldn’t ask for a much nicer backdrop. From the dramatic skyline of Cape Byron Lighthouse at the easternmost point of the Australian mainland, to the stunning surf at The Pass, Wategos and Belongil beaches, or the green hills and towns in the Byron Bay hinterland. Each biome offers a range of activities from surfing, kayaking, whale watching, mountain biking, hiking and horseback riding to name just a few.

If relaxation is more to your liking, then Byron Bay will surely delight with its focus on healthy and balanced lifestyles. While Daylesford & Hepburn Springs in Victoria are often called Australia’s spa capital, Byron Bay must come a close second. Yoga retreats, day spas and wellness centres abound, each offering a range of treatments and classes to nourish the mind, body and spirit.

Byron Bay is also known for its thriving food scene, offering dining options that cater to all tastes. There’s a wealth of fresh seafood and organic local produce and a strong culture of farm-to-table cuisine at many trendy restaurants and cafes in the region. The town is equally famous for its vibrant nightlife, with several bars, pubs, and clubs and a stellar local music scene.

The arts are also well supported with several galleries and museums showcasing local artisans. Many offer workshops and classes teaching traditional crafts and skills, such as weaving, pottery, and painting. Major regular festivals throughout the year include Bluesfest, Splendour in the Grass and the FALLS festival and several food, film, culture and sporting events. 

Getting to and from the area is easy with the regional Ballina Byron Gateway Airport just a 30-minute drive south of Byron Bay, or international airports at the Gold Coast (45 mins) and Brisbane (1hr 50mins) to the north. 

Owning a share of a luxury holiday home in Byron Bay is a fraction of the cost with co-ownership options offered by Ko. Take a look at the latest listings from Ko around this coastal paradise.

6 McInnes Lane, Tyagarah NSW

Welcome to “Birdsong”, a luxurious Australian home featuring a 9-bedroom main house, a 2-bedroom dual occupancy residence and a separate pool house on 6.64 acres of prime Byron Bay property. Located next to Tyagarah Beach, with stunning views of Cape Byron Lighthouse, Birdsong was designed by documentary filmmaker and architect Paul Witzig.

The home has a quintessential Australian design featuring vaulted ceilings with exposed local hardwood beams, timber flooring and an abundance of natural light throughout. With spacious rooms located around the property, this home lets guests or extended family maintain their independence while still enjoying shared spaces and time together. 

A second Master suite was recently added on the second level, with a walk-in robe, full-size bath and a 12-metre balcony where you can enjoy incredible views. If you do decide to leave the haven of your Master suite, you can also enjoy the outdoor spa, in-ground swimming pool and gym, or make use of several entertaining areas indoors and out.

The property, listed by Pacifico Property, is designed as an extension of the land around it with exotic landscaping and meandering paths connecting four unique environmental zones. From paperbarks to palm tree forests near a natural spring-fed dam, the parcel of land adjoins National Park and coastal wetlands adding to its prestige and privacy.

120B Lighthouse Road, Byron Bay NSW

This impeccable 4-bedroom home is located on the Cape Byron headland, just a few hundred metres from The Pass and Clarkes beaches and the Arakwal National Park. While conveniently located just a short walk from the social buzz of Byron Bay, the location still offers privacy surrounded by green bushlands and immaculate gardens. 

With polished timber flooring, abundant natural light and tasteful finishes throughout, the open-plan kitchen and living areas have been designed with elegance in mind. You can also entertain guests outdoors with a sheltered gazebo, BBQ and an outdoor fan and plunge pool to keep you cool. 

In winter months you’ll stay extra cosy with an open fireplace. In the mornings you’ll wake to the subtle sound of native birds across the quiet reserve, and feel the ocean breezes. You’re neighbours to some of the most surf-friendly waves in Australia and can watch migrating Humpback whales and local pods of dolphins pass by.
