The new luxury membership offers exclusive access to curated experiences that elevate everyday escapes.
In the fast-paced world we live in, the concept of travel is no longer just about visiting new places. It has evolved into something far deeper – an immersion into unique experiences that touch on relaxation, indulgence and adventure. As modern travellers, we crave curated escapes that offer us more than just a moment away from the daily grind. DayAway, a trailblazing luxury travel platform, is taking this concept to the next level with the launch of its exclusive community-based membership in Australia.
A new standard of luxury
Founded in Singapore by visionary Martha Waslen in 2021, DayAway started as a public platform offering curated luxury experiences. In early 2023, DayAway transitioned into an exclusive members-only marketplace, further refining its offerings to appeal to those who prioritise experiential travel and wish to access world-class experiences.
Now, with its recent expansion into Australia, DayAway is ready to unlock some of the country’s most iconic locations, offering its members the chance to unwind and indulge in unforgettable moments of luxury.
What DayAway brings to Australia
Australia is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, exceptional hospitality and diverse cultural offerings. But until now, there hasn’t been a single platform that combines access to the country’s most exclusive experiences under one membership. This is where DayAway comes in. With its community-based membership, it provides a seamless way for members to book luxury day experiences across Sydney and beyond.
One of the key features of DayAway is its ability to unlock spaces typically reserved for overnight guests or members of elite clubs. This democratisation of luxury means that anyone with a DayAway membership can enjoy a slice of the good life, without the need to commit to long stays.
What do members get?
So, what exactly can members expect from DayAway’s exclusive Australian launch? The platform has rolled out a series of bespoke experiences designed to captivate the senses and deliver the ultimate in luxury. Here are some highlights:
Luxury day at Spicers Sangoma Retreat
Spicers Sangoma Retreat is a hidden haven in the Blue Mountains, offering spectacular views, world-class service and incredible cuisine. DayAway members can spend a day here indulging in a 60-minute spa treatment, followed by a degustation lunch at the award-winning Restaurant Amara. The experience includes complimentary Champagne on arrival and access to the retreat’s pool and sauna, making it a perfect day of indulgence and relaxation.
Private poolside cabana at Bannisters Mollymook
Fancy a day spent lounging in a private cabana by the pool? At Bannisters Mollymook, DayAway members can reserve a poolside cabana for the day, complete with a spa treatment and a two-course dinner at Rick Stein’s famous restaurant. It’s the perfect way to escape the hustle of the city and dive into a day of relaxation by the sea.
Wellness experience at Capella Sydney’s Auriga Spa
If wellness is your priority, Capella Sydney offers an unparalleled experience at its renowned Auriga Spa. A sanctuary for rejuvenation, this wellness escape includes spa treatments designed to refresh both body and mind, leaving you restored and ready for whatever life throws your way.
Fine dining at Icebergs Dining Room and Bar
Overlooking the world-famous Bondi Beach, Icebergs Dining Room and Bar offers DayAway members a premium table with a spectacular view, as well as a chef-designed tasting menu that showcases the best of Sydney’s vibrant food scene. It’s a dining experience that fuses luxury with local flavour, creating a culinary journey you won’t forget.
Exclusive art viewings at Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert
For those with a passion for contemporary art, DayAway has partnered with Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert to offer private or guided viewings of the gallery’s latest exhibitions. As one of Sydney’s leading contemporary galleries, this experience offers members a chance to engage with the city’s dynamic art scene in a way that few others can.

The DayAway Sydney membership includes access to all the Sydney experiences listed above for US$100 ($146) per year; the DayAway Sydney with Hungry in Bali membership includes all that, plus privileges at over 90 restaurants, bars, cafes, beach clubs and spas in Bali for US$125 ($182) per year; and the DayAway Jetsetter membership includes all that again, plus a DayAway Singapore membership and a DayAway Global (Little Emperors) membership for US$300 ($438) per year.
