Join us at Wategos Beach with Alena Larionova, the muse behind our Lunette campaign.
MEET THE MUSE
We captured the Lunette Collection at first light on 35mm film with photographer Jamie Green. Effortlessly refined, Alena shares her perspective on life and why Wategos will always be her dream destination.
HOW DOES BEING BY THE OCEAN INSPIRE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE OR MINDSET?
It’s reminds me of home and how I grew up in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea.
IF YOU HAD A DAY OFF AT WATEGOS, HOW WOULD YOU SPEND IT?
Sunbaking, drinking coffee from Soul Kitchen, surfing, and then watching the sunset.
ARE THERE ANY BEAUTY RITUALS OR PRODUCTS YOUR CREDIT TO YOUR ETHEREAL GLOW?
Coconut oil for skin and hair - gentle care with no harsh chemicals.
WHAT'S ONE PIECE OF CLOTHING OR AN ACCESSORY YOU'LL ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR WARDROBE?
Sarongs and summer dresses!
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE PIECE FROM THE LUNETTE COLLECTION?
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE TRAVEL DESTINATION OR BUCKET-LIST PLACE?
Kaş in Türkiye, on the Mediterranean coast. It is known for its stunning beaches and dive spots.
CAN YOU SHARE SOMETHING SURPRISING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT PEOPLE DON'T KNOW?
I have been modelling since I was 17, travelling around the world on contracts. I eventually grew out of this and lived in Bali for five years. Now, I have settled at Tallow Beach in Byron Bay.
DISCOVER WATEGOS - A DAY BY THE SEA
LIGHTHOUSE WALK
Byron Bay’s iconic Lighthouse Walk is a must-do, offering breathtaking views. Begin the loop at Clarkes Beach, winding past The Pass and Wategos before reaching the Cape Byron Lighthouse.
SWIM
Cool off with a swim at Wategos Beach. At low tide, Little Wategos offers a secluded extension to explore.
EAT
No visit is complete without a stop at Rae’s on Wategos. For an unforgettable dining experience, book a table at the restaurant and indulge in a long lunch or dinner with ocean views. Prefer something more relaxed? The Rae’s Courtyard offers a casual setting - perfect for rolling in straight from the beach, no booking required.
