Elements of Byron is a shining example of how a resort can be designed to complement rather than compete with nature. With only 30% of the site developed, we have protected over 70% of the land, leaving vast areas of untouched wilderness for guests to explore and enjoy. The architecture of the resort embraces passive solar principles to reduce energy consumption while enhancing the natural flow of light and air throughout our spaces.

Over 200,000 native trees and plants have been carefully reintroduced to restore and enhance the local ecologies. Our section of critically endangered coastal littoral rainforest is a sanctuary for over 70 threatened plant and animal species, making Elements of Byron one of the largest privately owned conservation sites in New South Wales.

At Elements of Byron, we prioritise waste reduction through a variety of initiatives. Our Nespresso capsule recycling programme allows guests to enjoy their coffee guilt-free, knowing that the capsules will be responsibly recycled.

Our spa and villa guest amenities have been chosen with sustainability in mind, featuring refillable Apelles products that reduce single-use plastic waste. We have installed water filter taps in villas to eliminate single-use plastic. We also use biodegradable packaging for our in-room dining services and have swapped out traditional chocolate bars in minibars for Loco Love chocolate—a brand committed to organic ingredients and sustainable farming.
