Australia
Double Bay
Sydney's polished harbor village where yachts anchor beside sidewalk cafés and designer boutiques.
Double Bay moves at the measured pace of afternoon shopping and long lunches that stretch past closing time. The harbor laps against private jetties while Range Rovers idle outside European fashion houses, creating a pocket of Sydney that feels more Monte Carlo than Australia. Here, the rhythm is set by tide times and gallery openings rather than office hours.
Perfect for
- —Luxury shoppers seeking European brands
- —Harbor enthusiasts with sailing experience
- —Travelers who appreciate refined neighborhood dining
