Hotels in Western Australia, Australia

Western Australia sprawls across the continent's western third, with a climate that shifts from Mediterranean in the south-think mild, dry winters around 60°F (15°C)-to tropical in the north, where the dry season from May to October brings sunny skies and temps around 77°F (25°C). This region is famous for its epic coastline, like the turquoise waters of Ningaloo Reef near Coral Bay, where you can swim with whale sharks from March to July, and the white sands of Cable Beach in Broome. In the south, Margaret River offers world-class surf breaks and cellar doors for wine tasting in the cooler months, while Rottnest Island near Perth is a must for snapping a selfie with a quokka any time of year.
