Australia's leading travel platform Luxury Escapes has launched a search for a travel tester in the World's Best Dream Job competition.

Luxury Escapes is inviting Australians to apply for the role to road test some of its most coveted luxurious and adventurous itineraries, from a week-long five-star Maldives retreat and guided tour through Sri Lanka to exclusive weekend escapes across Australia.

The winner and their chosen travel buddy will be dispatched across the globe tasked with soaking up the experiences and reporting back on the travel platform's best offerings.

Luxury Escapes Co-Founder Adam Schwab said it's the ultimate “Willy Wonka” golden ticket secret shopper style role.

“We spend every day creating and curating the world's best holidays and want to make sure we get it right. This isn't just a holiday, it's the ultimate insider's role making sure thousands of Luxury Escapes customers have an amazing trip.”

The “World's Best Dream Job” package includes:

• A Week in the Maldives: Fly direct from Melbourne to the Maldives and spend five nights in one of Luxury Escapes top-rated five-star resorts, snorkel in the lush turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and enjoy all-inclusive fine dining.
• Take a Luxury Escapes Tour of Sri Lanka and explore the rich culture, ancient temples, sweeping tea plantations and pristine coastline of this remarkable island nation on a fully guided Luxury Escapes tour, staying in five-star accommodation.
• Weekend escapes across Australia from boutique retreats in wine country to coastal hideaways and city luxe, the winner will also enjoy a series of handpicked weekend breaks to some of Luxury Escapes' most popular Australian destinations.
  
  

All travel is for the winner and one friend, with flights, accommodation and experiences included.

The Catch? There is none, almost.
