Perth is a haven of stunning beaches, which include sites like Mettams Pool. Situated 20 minutes from the CBD, and your 5-star accommodation in Perth, this small cove is a snorkeller’s paradise, featuring clear blue waters, thriving coral, and beds of swaying sea grass. Not to mention, the site is home to a variety of marine life.

Savour Aboriginal Cuisine 

Explore the region’s indigenous heritage through cuisine. Located a short walk from city hotels like Pan Pacific Perth, this fine-dining experience centres around a seasonal, forage-driven menu, inspired by the Indigenous Noongar calendar.

Visit King’s Park 

Spend a morning at Kings Park, one of the world’s largest inner-city parks. The park features treetop walkways elevated above verdant gardens, where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Perth’s skyline and the Swan River.

Sample Swan Valley Wine 

Just on the city’s outskirts, head to Swan Valley, Western Australia’s oldest wine region. Sample award-winning wines and pair them with artisanal chocolates or cheeses at charming local wineries.

Head to Rottnest Island

Rottnest Island is a short ferry ride from Perth, and requires at least a full day to explore. Visitors can cycle around the car-free island, lounge on idyllic beaches, and meet the famous quokkas—adorable smiling marsupials unique to the area.
