Located in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Elements of Byron is home to four unique ecologies — rainforest, dunal, wetland and eucalypt — that combine to make it a very special place. The ecological hotspot offers refuge to countless species of animals, some rare and endangered shore birds and diverse natural experiences within minutes of each guest villa.
With almost two kilometres of absolute beach frontage along Belongil Beach, Elements of Byron also runs onto Belongil Creek, a tidal tea tree estuary. The southern site boundary borders endangered wetlands and 13 acres of littoral rainforest.
The majestic Wollumbin Mount Warning is the centrepiece of the Byron hinterland and coastline. Home to the local Arakwal Aboriginal people who referred to the area as Cavvanbah, meaning “meeting place”, these spiritual roots and stunning natural landscapes have made Byron Bay a celebrated wellbeing destination.
