Byron Bay is known for its laid-back, casual cool vibe and stunning beaches, but it's also a destination for celebrities seeking exclusive accommodation for their next private vacation. One iconic hotel that undoubtably fits the bill and is worth checking out is the whitewashed Spanish-mission styled hotel on Wategos Beach, Raes.

Once a restaurant and private home, this hotel boasts a storied past and a tropical garden and free-form pool reportedly designed by Salvador Dalí himself.

With seven individually designed rooms featuring sea-inspired decor, this super stylish boutique hotel exudes cool and elegance at every turn. The hotel underwent a stylish revamp in 2017, where Sydney interior designer Tamsin Johnson breathed new life into its design. The hotel comprises seven individually designed rooms including a villa, two penthouses and four suites. Each room is a labor of love, showcasing local artistic talent and surroundings.

With stunning views of Wategos beach, step outside to find yourself just a short walk from the easternmost point of Australia, the iconic Byron Bay Lighthouse. Be sure to take in the picturesque sunset at The Pass, another of the hotel's nearby attractions. Even if you're not staying overnight, the hotel's on-site Moroccan-inspired spa and restaurant are definitely worth a visit.

Rae's is a dreamy destination in which to indulge and relax, making it an experience not to be missed.
