MAXIM Australia

Equipped with direct access to a pristine white beach and private pool, arriving at our luxury villa at Baba Beach Club in Phuket was nothing short of a dream. The Baba Group is known for good food and good times as well as the best DJs. Baba Beach C

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Paige. I grew up in a small town within Los Angeles called Pacific Palisades and I’m the youngest of three children. Family, by far, is the most important thing to me – I am lucky to have two very supportive pare

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Karina. Hey! I started modelling some years ago because I’ve always been very interested in beauty and fashion. I was scouted from a German modelling agency when I was 15 but decided to finish my school education

What do you do when you’re not posing for MAXIM? I’m booked to pose somewhere else. In this industry it’s important to be present when I’m working. Sure, I enjoy the perks of fabulous locations but I’m here to work and I value my time and effort as

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Audrey. I’m very grateful and blessed to have lived a very dimensional and fulfilling life at such a young age already. I’m a single 20-year-old, I’ve travelled to over 20 countries, I’m currently working at a lu

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Olivia. From the quiet Yarra Valley girl to MAXIM cover girl I feel like my life story has evolved a lot in the past 12 months! I’d always dabbled in modelling but being presented on the cover of this magazine ha

Tell us a little bit about yourself, Susie. I’m from the UK and my family on my mother’s side is Brazilian – so, I definitely grew up with both cultures in my life! I’ve been modelling since I was 14 and I’m now 24 and starting to pursue other avenu

What’s the best thing about this photo shoot for Destination MAXIM? Getting to connect with different creatives from all over the world – we had the best team! It’s every girl’s dream to run around one of the most beautiful locations in the world fe

Following the criminal departure of our Ford and Holden's V8s, us Aussie revheads seeking a local fuel-guzzler have been left enduring a Mad Max dry spell. Holden, however, recently made an announcement sure to excite the yobbo in all of us. The Corv

The wait is over. F1 2020 is locked and loaded, with pre-season testing done for yet another year — and the teams and drivers all jetting into Australia for the milestone 25th edition of the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. But, in F1’s

The legend from Milwaukee is still bringing the thunder. Far from being the old man on the block, Harley is building the best bikes it’s ever built, thanks to their faithful traditional pushrod engine and some kind of engineering wizardry. The 2020 L

When the country was burning, and ScoMo was on holiday, it was comedian and Instagram sensation Celeste Barber who stepped up – helping to raise over $50 million for bushfire relief with support from her celebrity friends and small donors all over th

Picture this: You’ve just completed a workout. You’re feeling good — jacked, buff, muscly, ripped, cut — and are in the throes of the phenomenon Arnold Schwarzenegger famously christened “the pump”. The next step, according to locker-room lore, is to

Hey Tyana, congrats on your third MAXIM Australia cover. How do you feel? Thank you so much! It’s very, very surreal. You’d think after the first couple of times the novelty would wear off but it really doesn’t. With this shoot we were going for a m

When I quit the drink, I turned to Half Ironman Training to give me something else to focus on. Essentially, I replaced one addiction with another initially, but it did the job. However, I still remember the first Charles Poliquin nutrition conferenc

In the spring of 1768, the French explorer, mariner and anthropologist Louis-Antoine de Bougainville first spotted the Tuamotu archipelago, a chain of almost 80 islands and atolls in what is now known as French Polynesia. Later, upon arriving in Tahi

Once upon a time, Guy Laliberté was a street performer, playing the accordion and walking on stilts for whatever passersby would throw into his hat. Then in 1984, he cofounded Cirque du Soleil as a one-year project with the help of a contract from th

The waters surrounding French Polynesia produce some of the most sought-after natural treasures on the planet, black pearls. While originally harvested by free-divers searching for wild oysters on the seafloor, pearl cultivation has made the process

Impossible is a term that is overused, often to describe the unlikely or the improbable. In the world of big wave surfing, elite athletes tend to use the word “unrideable” to describe a wave that cannot be tamed, even by the best surfers in the world

Born on a farm in rural Victoria, Mark Visser wasn’t raised near the ocean. In fact, a near-drowning experience at an early age left him with a deadly fear of the water. It was only through learning to swim, and later by surfing as a teenager, that M

Jock, geek, homebody; the way Georgia Fowler later describes herself seems totally at odds with the ethereal beauty who steps out of an elevator and into a sprawling photo studio in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. Her hair in a bun, slicked as if b

How you present is what you attract. It’s going to sound crazy but you’re putting yourself on a market and you’re selling your best self on the “singles shelf”. There’s nothing wrong with being on the singles shelf when everyone’s joining you, and th
