Regarding luxury holidays, Australians have never needed much persuading to pack a bag, grab a sunhat, and head for Asia’s warmer waters. But now, Luxury Escapes has sweetened the deal considerably, unveiling a mega-sale across hundreds of holiday packages and a lavish Bali incentive for travel agents with an eye for commission and cocktails.

In actual “go big or go home” fashion, the Melbourne-based travel powerhouse is offering savings of up to 79% on handpicked luxury stays across Asia’s most sought-after destinations, with a glittering lineup including Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Malaysia.

Flights are bundled with leading carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Virgin Australia, and Malaysia Airlines. This ensures seamless travel and serious value for those ready to swap their winter cardigans for resort robes.

Asia Tops the Wishlist

The timing, it seems, couldn’t be better. According to the freshly released Luxury Escapes 2026 Travel Trends Survey, Asia continues to shine as the number one pick for Australian travellers chasing a blend of exotic culture and five-star indulgence. 57% of respondents plan a trip to the region this summer, underscoring Asia’s perennial allure as the “go-to” for great-value luxury.

And what do Aussies crave most? Not surprisingly, breakfast. Specifically, the buffet kind, preferably with a view. Daily buffet breakfasts topped the list of desired inclusions in the company’s survey, and naturally, Luxury Escapes has made it a staple in nearly all of its newly dropped packages.

The Tempting Line-up

Among the standout offers are several that practically beg to be booked:

RIMBA by AYANA, Bali
5 nights from $1,799 (save up to 70%)
A jungle oasis above Jimbaran Bay featuring daily dining across 11 restaurants and Rock Bar priority access — because one shouldn’t have to queue for sunset cocktails.
Centara Grand Lagoon, Maldives
5 nights from $5,999 (save up to 59%)
The dream of overwater villas, daily breakfast and dinner, and speedboat transfers that make arriving in paradise half the fun.
Angsana Ho Tram, Vietnam
5 nights from $1,299 (save up to 68%)
Beachfront suites, all-inclusive dining, nightly cocktails, and daily massages are a tonic for anyone who is overdue for a bit of self-care.
COMO Point Yamu, Phuket
5 nights from $1,999 (save up to 79%)
Cliffside serenity with massages, daily breakfast, nightly dinners, and a free-flow cocktail hour for those who think “moderation” is overrated.

Luxury Escapes says new deals will be released weekly, allowing travellers to plan, ponder, and perhaps indulge repeatedly — “purely for research purposes,” of course.

A Golden Carrot for Travel Advisors

For travel agents, there’s extra motivation to get those bookings flying. Luxury Escapes has unveiled a Bali holiday incentive worth over $6,200 for the Advisor who makes the highest number of Asia package bookings through the Agent Hub between now and 30 November 2025.

The winner will enjoy a 5-night stay at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, Bali, with inclusions that read more like a honeymoon itinerary than a prize checklist. Picture this:

Daily buffet breakfast at Wedang Jahe Restaurant
Lunch and dinner across the resort’s top restaurants, including Tamarind Mediterranean, Maguro Asian Bistro, and Raja’s Balinese Cuisine
Three-hour free-flow drinks each day at Chess Beachfront Bar or The Lobby Bar.
Two 50-minute massages at the onsite spa
Complimentary Atlas Beach Club and CANNA Bali Beach Club access
Cocktails, transfers, cabana discounts, and even a farewell lounge to soften the re-entry into reality

Travel agents are encouraged to book early. Nothing beats the satisfaction of earning a Bali break while sending clients off to theirs.

The Fine Print (and a Few Bubbles)

The prize is valid for travel between 1 October 2025 and 23 December 2026, with bookings to be made by 23 November 2026. Standard blackout dates, surcharges, and the usual exclusions apply to school holidays, long weekends, and “special event periods” (read: any time Australians are most likely to travel).

Flights aren’t included, but for a trip like this, even the most jaded agent will find themselves clicking “Book Now” faster than a business class boarding call.

Full terms and conditions are available via Luxury Escapes.

Editorial Note

Luxury Escapes continues to be one of Australia’s most influential travel brands, balancing its knack for aspirational marketing with genuine value propositions. Its ongoing partnerships with top-tier airlines and luxury resorts reflect a deeper trend: Australians are redefining “affordable luxury”, seeking five-star experiences without the eye-watering price tag.

As founder and CEO, Adam Schwab once said, “Luxury isn’t about spending more; it’s about getting more.” Judging by this new wave of Asia deals, it seems travellers can have both.
