In a wildflower-dotted wine region of Western Australia, a breathtaking hiking experience awaits.
Walk in luxury along the Cape to Cape Track.
A journey that will nurture your body just as deeply as your soul.

Tracing a spectacular stretch of coastline in Australia’s southwestern corner for more than 125 kilometres (77 miles), the Cape to Cape Track is a walking trail like no other.
Woven into the phenomenal views of this hiking odyssey are pristine beaches, towering eucalypt forests, captivating wildlife, boutique wineries and gourmet restaurants.

Hiking the Cape to Cape independently takes around seven days, and you'll need to carry just about everything with you. But thanks to Western Australian couple Nikki and Adam King, there's a much more accessible and luxurious way to experience this iconic trail.
Their business, Walk Into Luxury, takes a maximum of 12 hikers at a time on a progressive, guided journey of the Cape to Cape, combining its most beautiful sections with detours to the region's other pleasures over four dazzling days. Each night, you'll return to a sophisticated seaside villa to relax and recharge in comfort before the next day on the trail.
It's a holiday that anyone with a moderate level of fitness can enjoy; a holiday that won't just bring you closer to nature, but also inspire you to forge a deeper connection with yourself.

It's a wonderful chance to slow down and reconnect.

Australia's southwestern corner is one of the world's 36 biodiversity hotspots, with many of its species found nowhere else.
As you follow the track, you're bound to spot some of the 2,500 wildflower species that twinkle like colourful jewels in the native bushland. With Walk Into Luxury you'll also learn the art of forest bathing: the process of finding calm and relaxation by opening your senses to nature.

It's a great moment to walk mindfully, hearing leaves underfoot and feeling the breeze as you move through the forest.

Just when you think the Cape to Cape couldn't be more spellbinding, you’re led down a side track to an idyllic natural rock pool.
This coveted local secret is Injidup Natural Spa. An Instagrammer’s dream, it’s protected from the powerful Indian Ocean, which crashes into a rocky wall, causing foaming water to fill the shallow pool.
It’s just one of many stunning geological formations you’ll encounter on the trail, including another paradisal rock pool known as The Aquarium for its crystal-clear water and numerous fish.

Just a word of warning: once you've had it this good, you won't want to go back.
Walk Into Luxury's Cape to Cape Walk is one of a dozen life-changing guided walking holidays collectively known as the Great Walks of Australia.

Walk Into Luxury's Cape to Cape journey goes deliberately off-track, and for good reason. For this corner of Western Australia is also one of the nation's most celebrated wine regions, responsible for producing more than 20 per cent of Australia's premium wines.
Recently named by Lonely Planet as the top place to visit in the Asia-Pacific region, Margaret River is a truly spectacular and unique location where the local cellar doors rub shoulders with some of the nation’s most extraordinary regional restaurants.

After an energising morning on the trail, you'll be whisked away to exclusive winery visits and tastings. You'll also have an opportunity to experience the region's rich Aboriginal culture though food at the likes of lauded restaurant Yarri, which takes its inspiration from the six-season calendar followed by the region's Noongar people.
But the Cape to Cape's culinary delights aren't only found in restaurants. During a forest walk, for example, you'll be treated to a grazing table spread with regional delights.

And the surprises don’t end there.
At the end of your first day, you needn’t have to worry about setting up camp. Instead, you’ll check into an ocean-facing private villa at the luxurious Injidup Spa Retreat.
Tucked just off the trail, each of the award-winning retreat’s 10 villas come with a personal plunge pool. There’s also an onsite day spa where you may wish to indulge in a post-hike massage.
The best part? You’ll be shuttled back to Injidup every night. With no need to repack every morning, nor lug a heavy backpack on the trail, you can simply focus on enjoying every moment.
