4.5/5

(1,248 reviews)

Set on 17 acres of subtropical rainforest between Byron's town centre and Broken Head, this is the kind of place that makes you forget you booked a hotel. Crystalbrook Byron sits at the quieter, southern end of the shire, far enough from Jonson Street to feel like a retreat, close enough to reach it when you want to. The property runs on a certified carbon-neutral model, with solar energy, electric vehicle charging, and a genuine commitment to low-impact hospitality that goes beyond the usual greenwashing. Expect resort-scale facilities, including a pool, spa, and the in-house restaurant, with rainforest as the backdrop rather than the beach. No reviews to calibrate expectations against, so book direct and ask what's on at the property before you arrive.

What People Say

Jase Calvert3 months ago

My recent stay at Crystalbrook Byron Bay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was serene, luxurious, and beautifully immersed in nature. The rainforest setting creates such a peaceful escape, yet the service makes it feel incredibly warm and personal. What truly made our experience stand out was Hugh’s leadership. Hugh sets the gold standard for customer service. His professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for guests are remarkable. He goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect, making you feel valued and welcomed throughout your stay. It’s rare to encounter management so hands-on and dedicated to excellence. The suites were spacious and immaculate, the dining experience was superb, and every staff member reflected the same high standard of hospitality. It’s clear that strong leadership flows through the entire team. If you’re looking for a luxurious, tranquil getaway with truly outstanding service, I couldn’t recommend this resort more highly. We’ll absolutely be returning!

A beautiful resort inside a rainforest. Very beautifully appointed, the apartments are very clean, comfortable and inserted in nature. They have a nice kitchen, washing machine, dryer, fridge and dishwasher. Two beautiful balconies. There is a very big and clean pool to swim all day. The beach towels are offered generously, which is nice because you can change them when they get wet. The restaurant is excellent and so is the coffee. A big shout out to Jing who looked after us in the mornings taking our coffee orders. Very good at her job this girl! And there is a very nice tennis court which we used several times. Highly recommended. Well done to management.

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.

Elements of Byron

Byron Bay

Forty-five acres of coastal wetland, freestanding villas pointed at the trees, and private beach access. Elements sits deliberately apart from Byron's centre. The distance from the main strip isn't a drawback; it's the whole idea.

Byron Bay in Winter: Why It's Worth the Visit

Byron Bay in winter is the version locals prefer. Whale migrations off the headland, hinterland day trips in cool clear air, wellness retreats you can actually get into, and accommodation prices that reflect the season. June through August is not the off-season. It is the right season.

Dog-Friendly Byron Bay: Beaches, Cafes, and Stays

Byron Bay is a better place with a dog in tow.

Here is the practical guide to doing it properly, from where to stay to which beaches actually let you off the lead.
