Crown's Holiday Revival

In 2020 holidays were lost due to COVID-19. Crown Perth went on a mission to find a lucky West Australian who had lost a holiday, and deserved to win it back. We found them, and recreated their incredible Italian style holiday here at home. More than just a staycation, Crown designed the ultimate holiday ‘make-up’ experience valued at $25,000.

A LOST HOLIDAY REVIVED

We switched the Amalfi Coast for private dining with our Italian chef on Rottnest’s most beautiful beach, the Venice canals for a unique gondola ride to dinner on the Swan River, a seat at La Fenice for a private opera session under the stars, and the Tuscany wine region for an Italian wine making experience in Margaret River.

Adrian and Eve also enjoyed the complete Crown Perth Forbes 5 Star experience throughout their five night stay in a Deluxe Villa including valet, a personal Butler, Crystal Club daily breakfast, evening cocktails and canapes, relaxation treatments at Crown Spa, a private poolside cabana and dinner at each of our premium restaurants.

Watch Adrian and Eve's Holiday Revival highlights in the video or see their recreated itinerary below.

Amalfi Coast inspired dining at Rottnest Island

Winners Adrian and Eve boarded the Crown Helicopter for a private flight over the Indian Ocean to one of WA’s most pristine and secluded beaches, Rottnest Island’s Fays Bay. The couple indulged in an Amalfi inspired private dining experience with a three-course meal prepared by Crown’s very own Italian Chef de Cuisine, Giovanni Di serio. After exploring the surrounds by bike, they enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the island’s spectacular scenery on the journey back to Perth.

Venetian inspired gondola cruise

Departing from Elizabeth Quay, the couple enjoyed a gondola journey across the Swan River in true Venetian style. With romantic Mandolin music playing in the background and a Gondolier in traditional Venetian costume at the helm, they were transported in both place and time. A bottle of champagne was popped as the sun set on the glistening water.

Tuscany wine tasting

Tuscany is known for its rolling hills, incredible views, and exquisite wine varieties. Adrian and Eve boarded the Crown Helicopter once again for a private flight over WA’s very own rolling hills and vineyard. Arriving at Cherubino Wines, the couple enjoyed a true Italian wine tasting experience that showcased the traditional Roman winemaking methods from centuries ago. Paired with a bottle of their chosen drop and nestled in the heart of the vineyard, they then indulged in a private three-course Italian inspired lunch.

Opera under the stars

The couple was escorted by their personal Butler to an exclusive picnic location at Crown Perth. Transported to Venice’s world renowned Teatro La Fenice, they soaked up the magnificent sound of a private opera performance while enjoying some of the finest cheese and wine as the sun set.
