Salt & Stone: Why Burrum Heads is one of Queensland's Most Serene Coastal Escapes
With pristine beaches, peaceful seclusion and boutique-style comfort, Salt & Stone Villas in Burrum Heads is redefining the relaxed beachfront retreat on Queensland's Fraser Coast.
If you're craving coastal tranquillity without the crowds, Burrum Heads might just be your dream escape. Tucked away on the Fraser Coast, this under-the-radar village offers something few destinations can match: true stillness, salty air, and soul-stirring ocean views. At the centre of it all lies Salt & Stone Villas—a beachfront retreat that effortlessly blends design-led simplicity with barefoot comfort.
A Destination That Feels Secret
While Noosa and Hervey Bay continue to buzz, Burrum Heads remains blissfully quiet. Located just 30 minutes from Hervey Bay Airport, this coastal pocket attracts travellers looking for more space, fewer people and a deeper connection to nature.
According to Tourism and Events Queensland, "travellers are increasingly valuing uncrowded, nature-rich destinations that offer real escapism."
With its serene shoreline, thriving marine life and gentle tides, Burrum Heads is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding or simply wading through warm shallows. The beach stretches for kilometres—ideal for morning strolls, shell collecting or watching dolphins drift by.
Introducing Salt & Stone Villas
Perched on the water's edge, Salt & Stone Villas is a design-forward haven for those who want their holiday to feel both calming and restorative. The villa boasts:
A heated pool with panoramic ocean views
Firepit lounge area ideal for golden hour and stargazing
Private outdoor shower and sun-drenched daybeds

The property has been thoughtfully created for slow, meaningful stays—a place to reset, reconnect and revel in the rhythm of the tides.
Where Wellness Meets the Water
Salt & Stone Villas is more than just accommodation. It invites guests to embrace wellness in subtle but transformative ways. The heated pool soaks ease tired muscles and promote restful sleep. Sunrise yoga on the deck becomes a ritual, not a rarity. Evenings around the firepit naturally inspire digital detox and deep conversation.
As reported by the Global Wellness Institute, "wellness tourism is growing at more than double the rate of general tourism," with ocean proximity and open-air design being leading factors in the guest experience.
Eat, Explore, and Unwind
While Burrum Heads remains delightfully low-key, there's still plenty to enjoy nearby. The local fish and chip shop is a beloved staple, and Saturday morning markets are perfect for stocking up on local produce. Day trips to K'gari (Fraser Island) or River Heads offer exciting adventures for those craving exploration.
For couples, small families or friends seeking a peaceful, design-led base for slow travel, Salt & Stone offers something truly rare. And with the Sunshine Coast and Hervey Bay within driving distance, it's more accessible than you'd expect.
