The Evolution of Luxury Living in South Perth
Imagine waking to panoramic views of the Swan River, beginning your day with a leisurely stroll along its banks, and anticipating an afternoon of pampering at an exclusive wellness centre. This isn't a holiday fantasy - it's daily life for residents of South Perth, where luxury has been redefined to prioritise holistic wellbeing.
According to Blackburne Managing Director Paul Blackburne, the concept of luxury has transformed significantly in recent years. "Luxury now includes wellness-focused living," Mr Blackburne explained. "The ability to enjoy a sauna after your morning walk along the river, access green spaces including Kings Park, and have restaurants within walking distance represents the new epitome of luxury."
Wellness as Daily Ritual, Not Occasional Treat
Mr Blackburne emphasises that wellbeing is no longer something people reserve for special occasions or weekend getaways. "The way we think about wellbeing has shifted: it's becoming part of daily life," he said. This philosophy forms the foundation of their latest development, Eclipse, which brings together boutique luxury and world-class wellness facilities unprecedented in Perth.
Eclipse mirrors wellness traditions from around the globe, incorporating elements from Japanese onsens, Middle Eastern hammams, and Swedish saunas. "We wanted to create a space where simple routines can make a real difference to how you feel," Mr Blackburne noted. The development's health and wellness centre features hot and cold baths, saunas, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre designed to restore balance and boost vitality.

Here's how residents and visitors can experience the ultimate day of luxury living in this sought-after suburb:
