Lizard Island
Lizard Island is considered one of Australia’s most stylish and luxurious island retreats and is located in the remote northerly section of the Great Barrier Reef. The island is rimmed by 24 powdery, white sand beaches and fringed with colourful coral reefs.
Guest accommodation is offered in 40 villas, all with private en suite bathrooms and a private verandah with ocean or beach views. The décor is best described as contemporary-Australia-seaside; rooms are spacious and furnished with relaxation in mind.
Activities on the island are all about the Great Barrier Reef, a World Heritage Site extending 2,000 kilometres along Australia’s east coast. Scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing safaris can be arranged locally. The kitchen will happily provide you with a picnic hamper and you can head off to find a private beach on which to spend the day lazing and swimming.
Out of the water you may like to play tennis, work out at the gym, climb the craggy peak of Cook’s Look Out, walk a guided nature trail or treat yourself to a treatment at Azure Spa.
