FOMO, meet your chill cousin, JOMO (Joy of Missing Out).
In a world where ‘busy’ is worn like a badge of honour, JOMO travel is here to remind us that less is more. It’s about slowing down, sinking in, and swapping that hectic checklist for a little peace of mind.
Think tranquil stays, deeper connections, and the kind of experiences that don’t need a highlight reel—because they’re just that good.

This isn’t just a trend; it’s a mindset shift. And honestly? We’re here for it.

First week of 2025: you’re either fired up with inspiration or wishing you were still in holiday mode. Wherever you’re at, here’s your reminder: rest isn’t a reward, it’s a necessity.⁠

The key? Recharge before you hit empty. Whether it’s carving out time for a quiet moment, stepping outside for fresh air, or just giving yourself permission to slow down, make it part of your rhythm this year.⁠

More beautiful places to tread lightly. 🌿

We’re so excited to see more hotels and slow stays stepping up for sustainability! A huge congratulations to , , , and who have achieved their Sustainable Tourism Certification through

This recognition is no small feat—it’s a testament to their dedication to protecting the environment, supporting local communities, and operating with integrity. From eliminating single-use plastics to partnering with conservation organisations like the , Spicers retreats are setting a standard for what sustainable tourism can look like.

As advocates of slow travel, we’re inspired by milestones like this. They remind us that it’s possible to enjoy extraordinary places while preserving the beauty and biodiversity that make them so special.

Here’s to more slow stays leading the way. 💚

When was the last time you truly, deeply rested? Not just the kind of rest that gets you through the next day, but the kind that leaves you feeling completely renewed?

In a world that moves so fast, slowing down has become a luxury—and sleep, the ultimate form of self-care. Enter the rise of sleep tourism: hotels and retreats designed to help you pause, reset, and prioritise rest.

From weighted blankets and soothing aromatherapy to private mineral baths and guided meditations, these stays are all about helping you slip into a state of pure relaxation. Sleep is no longer just part of the experience; it’s the reason to pack your bags.

Here are a few places redefining rest:

🌿 Stay at Metropolitan Singapore, where the wellness centre COMO Shambhala offers a Hyperbaric ‘Airpod’ said to deepen the sleep cycle and reduce stress.
🌿 Retreat to , Victoria, where private Eco Lodges with outdoor mineral baths and sound healing experiences invite you to slow all the way down.
🌿 Escape to Fiji, where sleep programs guided by a professional Sleep Doctor blend yoga, meditation, and nutrition advice to transform your rest.

Our Life Unhurried ethos is all about prioritising time, presence, and the things that truly nourish us. Because when we slow down enough to rest, we create space to reconnect—with ourselves, the people around us, and the world we’re exploring.

Would you book a getaway with rest as its main event?

Ever wondered what it means when a destination is ECO Certified?

This certification, granted by Ecotourism Australia, signifies a region's genuine commitment to sustainable tourism practices. It ensures that the natural beauty you explore is preserved and that your travel choices support conservation and local communities.

Australia boasts several ECO Certified destinations, each offering unique experiences for the conscious traveller:

Here are a few:

🌿 Port Douglas & Daintree, QLD: Home to the world's oldest rainforest, where eco-friendly tours immerse you in ancient landscapes.
🌿 Augusta Margaret River Region, WA: Renowned for its sustainable wineries and pristine beaches, certified as an ECO Destination in 2022.
🌿 NSW Central Coast: A haven of lush forests, serene beaches, and eco-conscious stays, where sustainability meets natural beauty.

Choosing ECO Certified destinations means your journey leaves a positive impact, ensuring these natural wonders endure for generations to come.

Which of these sustainable havens is calling your name?

A little house perched at the edge of the world.

Yambara—meaning ‘away, out of sight’ in the Barngarla language—is the first tiny luxury of its kind for EYRE.WAY. Nestled on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, it’s an invitation to disappear into the rugged beauty of Sleaford Bay.

Handmade Moroccan tiles, Bed Threads linen, and sustainably-minded design wrap you in thoughtful details. Fresh Boston Bean coffee greets you at check-in, while handcrafted soap and local hampers remind you just how good slowing down can feel.

And when the whales pass by, it’s like they know you’re watching.

There’s a kind of quiet out here that sinks in deep—75 acres of rugged bushland, ocean views, and not a neighbour in sight (unless you count the kangaroos and wombats).

This is Shellback at Cape Liptrap. Walking tracks carved through untouched wilderness. A path that leads from your fenced yard to somewhere only the wildlife knows.

And if the wild calls you further, Wilsons Promontory is just 40 minutes away.
