It’s golden hour at one of Australia’s most exclusive glamping properties.
I’d wondered about the virtues of spending circa $2000 a night to stay here — it’s one of those bucket-list things to tick off and it absolutely blew my mind.Champagne corks pop and canapes circulate, but I wasn’t expecting to see whale on the menu. Yet this pre-dinner soiree is a feast of blubber, flukes and fins. In the ocean, a stone’s throw from Sal Salis’s alfresco lounge deck, the humpbacks are at play.
The tented wilderness camp comes with a hefty price tag, not because it pushes the envelope for opulence – there are no white tablecloths, suited bellboys or fussy furnishings here – rather because of its remoteness and connection to nature.It helps that Sal Salis is slap bang on the shores of one of Australia’s most pristine and secluded coastlines, with World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef lapping at its front door and the limestone crags of Cape Range National Park looming out back.
There’s no phone reception and the only inkling of a device comes from the satellites blipping overhead.
