Both from Perth, travel has always been our greatest source of inspiration. Our lifelong travels and extended stays in destinations around the globe have naturally brought us to a wanderlust & worldly design aesthetic; while our local adventures and nation-wide design projects have ensured a modern Australian tone is always present.

It is important for us to create a world-class, consciously designed and operated low-impact resort; as well as being a destination that is part of a community and the entrepreneurial journey of others.

Our love of sustainable practices and unique experiences, along with the cultivation of partnerships, will inspire us to develop and curate exceptional events to bring to the local community, visitors of the region and our guests.

Our curiosity to continue our learnings of First Nations culture and the land will encourage fostering of relationships through Dreaming story nights and Indigenous offerings.

We believe Sebatikel will draw global interest to the town, North West Cape (Palyadi Manu) and Western Australia; while our intimate guest capacity and environmentally-conscious operations will ensure low impact on the region and its natural surroundings.

Exmouth is our favourite place on earth.

This is our life’s work..

Phil Smith, Mon Palmer, and our son, Sebastian
