Overseas travel is now a reality, to some extent. It’s been 19 months since international borders were shut after the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions. The pandemic has allowed us to rethink how and why we travel. We remain cautiously optimistic that more global borders will open soon.

Meanwhile, we can book trips to some bucket list destinations. Whether you want to relax on Waikiki Beach, experience the buzz of Singapore or explore closer to home, Qantas has some appealing holiday packages. These exclusive offers are packed with great savings and premium inclusions like guaranteed room upgrades, admissions to select attractions and complimentary meals. Plus, all offers come with flexible hotel cancellation policies, so you can book with confidence.

Nestled just steps away from the sand and surf of Waikiki Beach, Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger, O’ahu, is the perfect base to enjoy all that Hawaii has to offer. The stay in a Waikiki view room includes: 15 per cent discount on food at Maui Brewing, free admission to Honolulu Museum of Art for two adults, complimentary junior admission or discounted adult admission at Waikiki Aquarium.

Book by 3 December for select stays until 20 December 2022 and enjoy free cancellations up to 30 days prior to check in.

The Clan, Singapore, is a modern luxury hotel with a nostalgic story to tell

Located in the heart of the city, near Raffles Place and Marina Bay, this newly opened luxury hotel will make your visit to Singapore one to remember.

Since meaningful journeys all start somewhere, The Clan’s began with the local associations that dot the neighbourhood, where Singapore’s forefathers helped Chinese settlers make this land their own. You can go on to create your story at the hotel, where you are sure to get all the inspiration you need.

If you want to stay in Australia, then why not bask in the serenity of the Tasmanian wilderness at a luxury lodge. Located on the stunning east coast of Tasmania, Saffire Freycinet is an award-winning sanctuary.

Located near Freycinet National Park, Saffire overlooks the iconic Hazards Mountains. This wonderful landscape greets you as soon as they enter the resort. The organic architectural design of Saffire takes its inspiration from these unique natural surroundings. The luxurious structure evokes a strong connection to the sea through references of waves, sea creatures and sand dunes.

The initial design brief behind Saffire was to create a boutique resort that felt like a luxurious beach house. As part of the desire to offer authentic experiences, the resort has a number of ‘Saffire experiences’ that celebrate the highlights and meaningful stories of the region, wellbeing, locally sourced culinary delights and spectacular scenery.

How is this for indulgence? You can get knee-deep in an estuary and indulge in freshly shucked oysters and champagne. Join a cooking class with the executive chef and learn how to make one of his signature dishes. Alternatively, if doing something a little more physical is to your liking, then take a guided quad bike journey through the national park.

There is a wide range of unique, complimentary experiences surrounding this premium sanctuary. Your stay in a luxury suite includes daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, including select beverages, complimentary premium mini-bar and lounge beverages and $100 property credit per stay. Book by 9 December for select stays until 31 August 2022 and enjoy free cancellations up to 14 days prior to check in.

You cannot for a moment mistake where you are in the world while staying at Saffire!
