While we welcome the summer season into full swing here in Australia, we have to admit – few places in the world live up to the summery standards quite like Bondi Beach does. We’re sure that you might’ve heard of (or even have visited) one of the most famous sandy places on earth, Bondi Beach itself. Still, perhaps to your surprise, there are quite a lot of things to do in the 'Bondi bubble’ other than sunbathing! It’s no wonder some of us won’t dare to travel out of the 2026 postcode at any cost. We have all we need here!
From the best stays to your beauty and wellness fix and beyond, these are the coolest places in Bondi for you to discover this summer, and, of course, you can thank us later. You’re welcome!
Calling all foodies! Suppose you’re missing your Euro travel this year, particularly Italy and its beloved food scene. In that case, there is no better place to indulge your appetite than the renowned Totti’s at the back of The Royal on Bondi Road. As a favourite of A-listers, it can be almost an impossible mission to guarantee a booking, so we recommend you do your homework and book a few months in advance.
P.S: Don’t miss out on their woodfire bread – you won’t regret it!
