Albany might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of luxury accommodation in Western Australia. You won’t find a huge collection of 5* stays or high-end resorts or options similar to the ultra-luxury options you’ll find elsewhere, such as COMO The Treasury in Perth, Sal Salis at Ningaloo Reef or Injidup Spa Retreat in Margaret River.
However, Albany does have a small but impressive selection of luxury accommodation, from exclusive holiday homes and private coastal estates to boutique serviced apartments and intimate hosted retreats.
In this guide, I’ve rounded up eight of Albany’s best luxury accommodation options for couples, families and travellers looking for somewhere special to stay.
If you’re looking for other accommodation options in Albany-Kinjarling, make sure you also read our guides to the best accommodation in Albany and the top family accommodation in Albany. You’ll find plenty of well-located options across the city centre, Emu Point and Middleton Beach, including hotels, caravan parks and self-contained stays.
