Silky Oaks Lodge Reveals Springtime Wellness Weekend, Silky Sanctuary

Baillie Lodges has launched a new initiative designed to offer mateship and connection to its regional community partners.

A brand new luxury hotel in Tasmania and a fully overhauled five-star lodge in Queensland’s Daintree were identified in Travel + Leisure’s (T+L’s) ‘It List’ of the best luxury hotels for 2022.

The lowering of border restrictions to Queensland has driven increased demand from interstate markets for Baillie Lodges’ recently reopened Daintree-based luxury retreat.

Captain’s Choice has unveiled a series of adventures by Royal Jet to some of Australia’s luxury lodges, visiting extraordinary destinations in true luxury.

Works on the highly-anticipated refurbishment of Silky Oaks Lodge have commenced. Parent company Baillie Lodges (which acquired the Queensland retreat in January 2019) have confirmed a reopening date of 1 October, 2021 for the new-look lodge.

The owners of Southern Ocean Lodge, Baillie Lodges’ James and Hayley Baillie, have vowed to resurrect their former flagship retreat within two years after it was gutted by bushfires that swept through the western end of Kangaroo Island just days into the new decade.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts has unveiled details of two new private jet itineraries for 2021, which will explore Angkor Wat, Jordan, Egypt, Mexico City, Easter Island and Athens for the first time.

Baillie Lodges has delivered on its expansion plan through the investment of KSL Capital Partners, signing Silky Oaks Lodge in Tropical North Queensland to its portfolio of luxury lodges. Set among the World Heritage-listed wilderness of the Daintree National Park, Silky Oaks Lodge offers guests a stylish rainforest escape, with experiences including river-snorkelling, driving safaris, Indigenous guided walks, the lodge’s own Healing Waters Spa and access to Port Douglas and the Great Barrier Reef.
