These stylish stays are destinations in their own right, blending the best of a private residence with the service of a hotel.

In 2026, holidays aren’t just about the destination. Modern travellers want more than just a stunning location to explore; they want accommodation that’s an experience in and of itself, with spacious rooms and superb facilities.  

ALL Accor is setting the new standard with its apartments and villas collection that combines the best of both worlds: residential-style spaces with hotel amenities, in some of Australia’s most sought-after locations, whether you’re travelling as a family, friend group or couple. 

Discover some of Australia’s most iconic locations, to start. 

The new main attraction

The perfect holiday is now as much about where you stay as it is the destination itself. ALL Accor’s Apartments and Villas make the accommodation part of the getaway, and place you in some of Australia’s most sought-after corners.  

Imagine watching boats drift across Sydney Harbour from your balcony, cycling through the coastal beauty of Kingscliff or sipping world-class wine by the beach in Margaret River. The collection brings two experiences together: the freedom and space of self-contained stay and the high-end services of a hotel. 

Iconic beaches

The Gold Coast has no shortage of fabulous stays, but Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise and Peppers Broadbeach share the crown for location and comfort.  

Experience laid-back luxury in the oceanfront towers where apartments and penthouses with sleek, minimalist interiors give way for glittering ocean views. Make yourself at home with creature comforts like well-appointed kitchens, large living and entertainment areas and modern laundry amenities. Plus, access to swimming pools and gyms.  

At Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise, you’re just steps from the iconic beach and can savour Mediterranean fare at Valentina Restaurant & Bar. While at Peppers Broadbeach, you’ll find a private cinema to relax between beach days, a DIY teppanyaki BBQ for guest use, Zen gardens and more than one pool to enjoy. 

Wine escape

Famed for its impossibly white sand beaches, enviable surf breaks and rolling vineyards, Margaret River spoils visitors in more ways than one. Your laid-back holiday dreams can be fully realised at Pullman Bunker Bay Resort Margaret River Region, a luxury resort with direct beach access and contemporary one- to three-bedroom self-contained villas overlooking Bunker Bay or the resort’s lake.  

Days are spent getting pampered at the on-site Vie Spa Bunker Bay, dipping into the infinity pool and savouring local produce at the ocean-facing restaurant, Other Side Of The Moon (did someone say Shark Bay scallops?). You’re well positioned for cellar door hopping to sample the region’s prized cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay, and to discover the many breathtaking walking trails and crystalline waters. 

Pristine nature

Noosa isn’t exactly a hidden gem, but at Peppers Noosa Resort & Villas in Noosa Heads, you’ll feel worlds away. Shrouded by the lush Noosa National Park and just a short jaunt from the pristine waters of Laguna Bay and the main drag, Hastings Street, the eco-friendly accommodation offers contemporary two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom villas that are more akin to staying in a private home.  

Made for entertaining, gaze upon sea or treetops from the spacious balconies and whip up a family feast in the full-sized kitchens. Or let someone do it for you at the on-site restaurant Park & Cove. You know you’ve reached paradise when the day’s hardest decisions are which spa treatment to indulge in and how long to spend lounging by one of three pools. 

City buzz

Staying in Sydney’s CBD often means compromising on space, but at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, generously sized rooms can be found in the heart of Circular Quay. Wake up to sparkling Sydney Harbour views from one- and two-bedroom apartment-style suites equipped with home comforts like modern kitchens, large balconies, separate living spaces and room service.   

Beyond the swimming pool and sauna, the property is home to one of Sydney’s best restaurants – award-winning Flaminia – where a menu traversing Italy’s coastline delivers memorable plates like paccheri allo scoglio – a divine medley of calamari, mussels, vongole, white fish and cherry tomatoes.   

Our tip? Time your stay with New Year’s Eve and be rewarded with front-row seats to one of the world’s greatest fireworks displays – be sure to book a seat at the on-site bar, Acapulco El Vista, for front-row seats to the action.  

Seaside bliss

With its pristine coastline, World Heritage-listed national parks and thriving culinary scene, it’s no surprise travellers are finally catching on to the hedonistic delight that is the Tweed region.  

You can experience an idyllic coastal holiday at Peppers Salt Resort and Spa and Mantra on Salt Beach, which offer unparalleled access to Kingscliff’s beachside splendour and paddock-to-plate restaurants. Settle into self-contained one-, two- and three-bedroom spa apartments and lagoon-style swimming areas designed for leisurely afternoons taking refreshing dips and getting drinks from the pool bar delivered straight to your sun lounger.  

UNESCO escapes

If you’re looking for the antidote to burnout or you’re craving a tropical getaway, make a beeline for either Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort or Spa or Peppers Beach Club & Spa Palm Cove.  

 Your luxurious launch pads to discovering the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, both resorts have everything you need to properly disconnect and get into holiday mode, from wellness and spa facilities to on-site restaurants and spacious suite layouts. A weekend here is worth it alone for the sprawling lagoon pools where you can sip tropical cocktails from the swim-up bars.
