Sustainability meets luxury as Byron at Byron partners with local brands for major giveaway
Byron at Byron, a Crystalbrook Collection Resort, is celebrating the completion of its $6 million refresh with a giveaway only the world-famous coastal town could deliver.
The beloved Northern Rivers resort has partnered with local sustainable brands St. Agni, Sulis Lifestyle Salon and Spa, and Brookie’s Gin for a weekend that pulls out all the stops – from delicious rainforest dinners and pampering spa treatments, to boutique shopping sprees and craft gin tastings.
One lucky winner and their guest will spend two luxurious nights in one of the Resort’s brand new Luxe Suites, set amongst sub-tropical rainforest with outdoor showers, freestanding deep soak bathtubs and separate living areas.
Enjoy a complimentary dinner from the Resort’s new sustainable restaurant, Forest. The locally sourced menu features classic Australian fare such as poached Ballina king prawns with avocado, green apple and coriander; or Paroo kangaroo tartar with lemon myrtle mayo, line caught Jewfish with Windaboo mushrooms.
Don’t slip into a food coma just yet. Staff at the Resort’s new Eléme Day Spa are on hand to help you forget all your troubles with two treatments included in your stay.
With a philosophy immersed in nature, Eléme features bespoke facial and body therapies using the internationally-renowned Sodashi skincare range using ethically sourced natural ingredients. For massage therapies, Eléme has partnered with Byron Bay’s Cura Co. Lab to develop custom-made eco-conscious therapeutic oils.
Feeling suitably rested and refreshed the following morning, your private Byron Bay Luxe Limousine will whisk you away to St. Agni’s Byron Bay boutique.
The sustainable Byron Bay fashion label has partnered with Byron at Byron to design the eco-friendly uniforms for the Resort’s front-line staff. To celebrate this new partnership, St. Agni is giving away $1,000 to burn on an outfit of your choosing.
Founded by Byron Bay locals Lara and Matt Fells in 2014, St Agni creates timeless designs in fine materials that are gentle to the environment and are made to last.
Supporting the recent rise of slow fashion, the brand only creates pieces to meet demand, to ensure effective waste management and encourage slower consumption habits amongst their customers.
Once you’re dressed to the nines in biodegradable fabrics made to last, the next stop is Sulis Lifestyle Salon and Soa, a certified Sustainable Salon of Australia, for a hair treatment using eco-friendly Aveda products. You’ll be looking and feeling your best from head to toe.
To top it all off, don’t forget to enjoy a local gin tasting experience with Brookies at the Cape Byron Distillery, showcasing the unique terroir of the Northern Rivers. The brand is committed to sustainability and giving back to the region having recently transformed a rundown dairy farm into a rainforest with over 35,000 subtropical trees planted.
“Byron at Byron has chosen to partner with these local brands because of their commitment to offering sustainable products and ongoing consideration of the environment. As a team we are proud to highlight local brands that share our values,” says Jordan Rodgers, General Manager of Byron at Byron.
