Overview
Jonah’s Hotel & Restaurant is one of Sydney’s most iconic boutique stays — a luxurious clifftop retreat that feels worlds away from the city, yet sits just 50km north of the CBD. Located high above Whale Beach in Palm Beach, the exclusive 5-star property has been welcoming guests since 1929 and remains a beloved destination for romantic getaways, indulgent dining, and scenic escapes.
With only 11 rooms and suites, Jonah’s offers an intimate, tranquil experience. Each room features a private balcony with panoramic ocean views, elegant coastal décor, spa baths, and premium bedding. Thoughtful details like complimentary mini-bars, in-room massage options, and sunset turndown service enhance the luxury experience.
At the heart of Jonah’s is its hatted restaurant, serving contemporary Australian cuisine with Mediterranean flair and a strong emphasis on local seafood and seasonal produce. The extensive wine list — with over 1,600 international and Australian labels — has received numerous awards and perfectly complements the cliffside setting. Guests can dine inside or al fresco, soaking up uninterrupted views of the Pacific.
Jonah’s is also a popular venue for intimate weddings and special celebrations, with on-site event planning and exclusive use options available. Helicopter arrivals are welcome, and seaplane transfers from Rose Bay make for a dramatic and unforgettable entrance.
Whether you're sipping Champagne on your balcony, relaxing by the plunge pool, or enjoying a long, lazy lunch overlooking the sea, Jonah’s offers an elegant, distinctly Australian take on luxury — peaceful, private, and unforgettable.
