Yala Yallingup, WA (Formerly Empire Retreat)

Yala Yallingup is a 2025 Michelin Guide Key Recipient; a mark of excellence awarded to outstanding venues. Awarded to only two venues in the whole of Western Australia, this secluded retreat is not to be missed.

A quietly luxurious hideaway where bushland, vines, and stillness usher you into calm. Yala Yallingup invites you to gently exhale and sink into the beauty of the region.

Tucked on 265 acres of tranquil pastures, natural bush, and its own vineyard, this adults-only sanctuary offers luxe seclusion just minutes from Dunsborough and Yallingup. With intimate suites, a restorative spa, and thoughtfully curated dining rituals, it’s a place where self-care and soul restoration come naturally.
