A hushed luxury greets you as you step through the fobbed entry of Aria and into its timber-accented lobby – a space that announces itself with quiet confidence rather than fanfare. Beyond the polished surfaces and contemporary lines lies a world of resort-style indulgence: a pool and spa with panoramic views, pavilion entertaining spaces complete with dual kitchens and a wine cellar, as well as wellness facilities including a massage room, yoga studio, gymnasium, steam room, and sauna. This is apartment living reimagined as a private retreat, where the boundaries between home and luxury resort dissolve entirely.

A lift carries you to the residential floors, leaving behind the thoughtfully considered ground-floor amenities: the building manager's office, a secure mail room with cool storage for deliveries, and a dedicated parcel collection area. These details speak to a development where daily life has been reimagined around genuine convenience.
Apartment 116 unfolds as a study in contemporary Australian living, where floating timber floors create visual continuity throughout the open-plan living areas. The north-facing orientation becomes immediately apparent – natural light streams through the oversized sliding glass door and full-height windows, creating an interplay of sun and shadow that shifts throughout the day.
The kitchen anchors the space with its L-shaped stone worktop. Miele appliances integrate seamlessly: induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher all tucked within ample built-in storage that maintains the clean architectural lines. Here, cooking becomes less of a chore and more of a creative expression, with everything within arm's reach and the north-facing balcony providing a private setting for intimate alfresco dining.
The principal suite sits to one side of the central living area, offering sanctuary and sophistication in equal measure. Direct balcony access means morning coffee can be enjoyed with verdant views. The walk-through wardrobe leads to a fully tiled ensuite. The second bedroom mirrors this attention to detail, with its own balcony access and connection to a family bathroom that includes a walk-in shower and European laundry – the latter artfully concealed. A purpose-built workstation with an integrated desk acknowledges the evolving and flexible nature of contemporary life.
Yet it's beyond the apartment's threshold where Aria truly distinguishes itself. The resort-style grounds transform the notion of apartment living into something altogether more expansive. The pool and spa occupy a prime position with sight lines to the showground's Ferris wheel – a whimsical reminder of the world beyond. The poolside pavilion with two fully equipped kitchens, a wine cellar, and lounge and dining areas, is an exclusive venue to rival a private club, providing residents with carefully curated spaces designed for memorable gatherings.
For those drawn to wellness rather than revelry, the massage room, yoga studio, gymnasium, steam room and sauna offer a comprehensive retreat from urban demands. These facilities feel less like shared amenities and more like extensions of your private domain – spaces where the boundaries between home and resort-style living dissolve entirely.
The location itself provides the perfect counterpoint to Aria's self-contained luxury. Some of Western Australia's most coveted beaches lie within easy reach, alongside kilometres of walking and cycling trails that showcase the region's natural beauty. Fremantle's historic streetscapes offer cultural richness and weekend exploration, while Claremont Quarter brings designer shopping and dining just minutes from your door. The nearby independent shops and restaurants of the local precinct ensure that sophisticated dining and unique retail discoveries are never far away. Swanbourne Primary School and Cottesloe Golf Course complete a lifestyle picture that balances family needs with personal pursuits.
Two undercover car parks and a four-square-metre secure storage room provide the practical foundations that allow this elevated lifestyle to function seamlessly. At Aria, luxury isn't about excess but about the thoughtful integration of every element – from the building's contemporary architecture to its resort-quality amenities, from the apartment's north-facing orientation to its connection with one of Perth's most desirable residential precincts. This is modern Australian living refined to its essence.
