$$$$

Forty-five acres of coastal wetland and rainforest sit between the highway and the sea, and Elements of Byron occupies all of it. The resort's private beach access, lagoon pool, and spa position it firmly at the quieter, more considered end of Byron's accommodation spectrum. Villas are freestanding and oriented toward the trees rather than each other, which is the point. This is not the town-centre scene. Bayshore Drive is a ten-minute drive from the main strip, and that distance is the product. Rates reflect the scale and the setting, so arrive with expectations calibrated accordingly. For families or groups wanting space without the festival-weekend chaos of central Byron, the configuration of interconnecting villas makes practical sense. Book well ahead for school holidays.

What People Say

Dean Flynn3 months ago

We recently spent two nights at Elements of Byron for our 20th wedding anniversary, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and looked after. The resort is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and designed in a way that makes you instantly relax. Our villa was spotless, modern and incredibly comfortable, with all the little touches that make a special occasion feel even more memorable. We loved wandering the grounds, enjoying the pool areas, and taking quiet walks down to the beach—it all felt private and effortless. Every interaction with the team was friendly and professional, and the food and drinks across the resort were consistently excellent. It was exactly the kind of escape we were hoping for: calm, luxurious and completely stress‑free. A fantastic location and a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommended.

We loved the resort, you automatically relax. We ventured out for the morning to see town, but it was the afternoon relaxing by the adult pool that was the highlight. The food was delicious, and the cocktails too. We will definitely be back.

More Accommodation in Byron Bay

Raes on Wategos

Wategos Beach

The only property sitting directly on Wategos Beach, Raes trades on position and a long-running restaurant reputation. Mediterranean in feel, small in scale, and priced accordingly. If you're going to spend up in Byron, the address alone makes a reasonable argument.

Glen Villa Resort

Byron Bay

Set back from the main strip on Butler Street, Glen Villa Resort trades on tropical gardens, a pool, and self-contained rooms that work better for a week than a weekend. Quieter than central Byron, walkable to everything that isn't.

Wategos is where Byron Bay stops performing and starts being itself.
