The Bonobo Byron Bay

With a sparkling rooftop pool surrounded by sun loungers and tropical greenery, a schmick Bauhaus-inspired lobby stocked with Brookies Distillery pre-mixed cocktails and suites that are more restful sanctuaries than hotel rooms – it's clear The Bonobo Byron Bay prioritises a beautiful guest experience.

The accommodation is a combination of hotel rooms and one-, two- and three-bedroom residences that come complete with kitchens, laundry and living and dining areas. Some residences even have private terraces with plunge pools. The luxurious suites combine a mid-century modern aesthetic and custom furniture with concrete and brick features. One writer from Australian Traveller noted her two-bedroom suite included artworks by Sulman prize-winning artist Doris Bush.

With such beautifully considered design details, it's no surprise The Bonobo comes from the team behind luxury hotel Raes on Wategos (which took a spot on Condé Nast Traveler Magazine's 25 best hotels in the world list in 2026).

At The Bonobo, Byron Bay's town centre and Main Beach are at your doorstep, but no one would blame you for wanting to stay in. Between the relaxed all-day dining venue, The Lobby, and a wellness centre that includes a bathhouse, steam room, and spa treatments, you've got everything you need.
