A Luxury Vacation Spot in Queensland

For a jaw-dropping $1,000 a night, you too can vacation in this architecturally interesting beach house.

Alinghi is a vacation home clinging to the cliffs of north Queensland’s Capricorn Coast, Australia.

A vast travertine stone terrace connects the front of this expansive cedar, glass and steel cliff top dwelling.

Both completely open, and cosily protected, the lines of the casually luxurious beach pad gather together the elements of comfort and sophistication.

For dining, an intriguing treehouse feeling is created by low windows that oversee the surrounding bush that leads to the sea.

The sheer ‘weight’ of all this travertine stone in the public pavilion suggest it is carved out of a limestone cliff.

Centered between the two pavilions, an even larger travertine terrace faces the infinite view.

In the sleeping pavilion on the other side, four fresh and sun-filled bedrooms drink in the ocean air.

Completely open to the salt sea spray in front, the master bedroom would feel as if it was hollowed out of the cliffs.

The walk-in shower with its eco-chic outdoor entrance makes short work of sandy feet coming in from the beach below.

For the sleeping pavilion, an abandoned beach shack feeling is created by the open slats – to elicit relaxing downtime.
