The company is opening its first brick and mortar NSW store at Westfield Bondi Junction, marking a major step in its plan to bring the art of escaping into real life. Expect coffee, scrolls and a crash course in how to holiday properly.
The launch runs Wednesday 12 November 2025, from 9:30 am to 2 pm, and promises an atmosphere that blurs the line between travel lounge and espresso bar.

The BioHax Take
Luxury Escapes has built a global reputation for selling access to the good life; the kind that comes with overwater villas, detox programs and spa menus longer than your inbox. Now it’s bringing that same energy to the Eastern Suburbs.
This isn’t just another retail opening. It’s an immersive experience designed to make you forget you’re in a shopping centre. Picture barista-made coffee, Sundays Bondi scrolls, a prize wheel loaded with Australian holidays and Samsonite luggage, and travel specialists who can spin your lunch break into a Maldives-level fantasy.
As co-founder Adam Schwab told The Australian,
“People associate bricks and mortar with more brand trust and quality, and it’s an investment… There’s definitely a cohort of people who want to buy in person, and our average in-store order value is four times that of online.”
For BioHax readers, that translates to one thing: the future of wellness travel is face-to-face, not click-to-cart.
Who It’s For
-
Wellness travellers chasing genuine downtime

Sydney locals looking for their next spa escape or retreat

-
Anyone who believes relaxation counts as personal development
What’s On Offer
-
Complimentary barista-made coffee and Sundays Bondi scrolls

Spin-to-win prize wheel with Australian holidays and Samsonite suitcases
-
In-store travel experts offering curated wellness and lifestyle packages
-
Sneak-peek bookings for spa breaks, yoga escapes and bucket-list destinations
-
Immersive lounge-style store design echoing their Melbourne flagship
Luxury Escapes first tested this model in Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre, where its flagship store combined LCD walls, Champagne service, a VIP bar and live events. The concept worked, attracting travellers who wanted expert guidance and in-person trust before booking retreats in Bali, Thailand or the Whitsundays.
Bondi’s version continues that playbook with a focus on wellness-driven travel, intimate consultations and sensory calm.
Sustainability Snapshot
Luxury Escapes partners with eco-certified resorts and local operators that emphasise low-impact travel. Many of its featured wellness packages highlight sustainable dining, responsible spa practices and reduced-plastic operations. The Bondi store will showcase these through visual media and destination storytelling.
