Este South: An Elevated Expression of Byron Bay Luxury

Este South: An Elevated Expression of Byron Bay Luxury. Poised above Byron Bay’s world-famous Wategos Beach, this serene retreat offers sculptural design, lush rainforest surrounds and a rooftop sanctuary that redefines coastal luxury and connection.



Perched above Wategos Beach, Este South by Shaun Lockyer Architects is a masterclass in coastal sophistication where effortless elegance and natural serenity converge. Immersed in rainforest beauty, this sculptural sanctuary captures the soulful essence of Byron Bay’s most exclusive retreats.



Inside, sunlight pours through expansive glass, illuminating interiors crafted from warm timber, soft stone and natural textures. The palette is calm and organic, allowing the beauty of the coastline and lush greenery to take centre stage. Every detail from the bespoke finishes to the curated art and furnishings has been chosen to inspire rest, reflection and a sense of place.



The multi-level design, connected by an internal elevator, flows effortlessly from private suites to open-plan living spaces and the tranquil rooftop terrace. Here, a temperature-controlled pool, elegant bar, and ocean-view lounge invite slow afternoons and starlit evenings. The private rainforest courtyard provides a secluded escape, where the sound of birdsong and ocean breeze create an atmosphere of complete stillness.



Whether gathering with loved ones or seeking solitude, Este South offers a rare balance of privacy and openness. Thoughtful separation between living and sleeping areas ensures every guest can retreat or connect with ease.



Positioned between the rainforest and the sea, Este South feels blissfully remote yet remains moments from Byron’s boutique cafes, restaurants, and coastal landmarks. It’s a sanctuary for the senses where design and landscape converge to create a stay that is both grounding and indulgent.
