Perth Holidays
A Perth holiday offers the delights of a thoroughly metropolitan city and the pure escapism of vast national parks. The sunniest city in Australia, Perth boasts no fewer than 19 stunning beaches, all lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
Whether you want to enjoy the sun on your skin in the Kings Park botanical gardens or experience the thrill of the ocean breeze in your hair at a watersports centre, your holiday in Perth has it all. Soak up the truly unique atmosphere of Yagan Square, which brings together the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people with clever architecture and modern eateries.
Blissful days and vibrant nights on holidays to Perth
A variety of short breaks from Perth offer you the chance to further enhance your holiday. Retreat from the city centre and lose yourself among the picturesque vineyards and galleries at Margaret River. Spend the day marvelling at the colonial buildings and river vistas in Fremantle City. A trip to the pristine Rottnest Island is an opportunity to meet the world famous quokka – a charming marsupial who always looks pleased to meet you.
When you’re on holiday in Perth, the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down - the bustling nightlife simply can’t be ignored. Immerse yourself among street art and lively bars while sampling fresh, exciting cuisine at every turn. Try tasty tapas and mouth-watering seafood, paired with world-class Australian wines, for a meal you’ll talk about for years to come.
Holidays to Perth encapsulate the very best of Australian culture, from sun-worshipping on the beach to unforgettable outback adventures. It’s the perfect holiday destination or stop-off during your tailor-made tour of Australasia.
