Nestled in a quiet pocket of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/byron-bay-ocean-dips-days-exploring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">northern New South Wales<\/a>, every touchpoint of the resort invites you to slow down and settle in. It&#8217;s no surprise, then, that when model, entrepreneur and <em>RUSSH<\/em> purist Jess Gomes checked in, she leaned in fully \u2014\u00a0 letting the rhythm of Byron take over.<\/p>\n<p>From the moment she arrived, Gomes embraced the ease of her surroundings \u2013 unpacking her bags, slipping into a swimsuit, and settling into a slower pace. Between tennis matches, poolside cocktails, and a spa ritual that included gold leaf facials and dry brushing, Gomes found a rhythm that was all her own. It was a moment of pause, but also of presence \u2014 one marked by coconut milk hot chocolates, the smell of frangipanis and salty sea air, and the joy of a white bed waiting at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Below, Jess Gomes shares her favourite memories, rituals and what she packed (and picked up) during her stay at Elements of Byron, from check-in, to check-out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"russh_gallery\" id=\"russh_gallery\">\n  <div class=\"images\">\n    <ul>\n      <li class=\"\"><a data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"swipebox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/j5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto !important;\" width=\"940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/j5.jpg\" alt=\"j5\" data-caption=\"\" data-description=\"\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"hidden\"><a data-fancybox=\"gallery\" data-caption=\"\" class=\"swipebox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/j2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto !important;\" width=\"940\" src=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/j2.jpg\" alt=\"j2\" data-caption=\"\" data-description=\"\"><\/a><\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <div class=\"ag_gallery_arrow\"><i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\n    <div class=\"ag_gallery_arrow ag_right\"><i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"caption set\">\n    <div class=\"col-two-third\">\n      <p><em><span class=\"index\">1<\/span>\/<span id=\"spn-total-thumbnail\">2<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"caption_text\"><\/span><\/em><span class=\"ag_div\" style=\"display:none;\"><br>&nbsp;<br><\/span><em><span class=\"description_text\"><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-one-third\">\n      <p><a data-fancybox=\"gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.russh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/j5.jpg\" class=\"large_link swipebox\"><i class=\"fa fa-clone\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Check-In<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What is your go-to travel outfit? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Usually, I am in my Nagnata sweats and a t-shirt when I travel and a comfy pair of flats.
