A Sun-Filled Sojourn
Discover Australia’s Lizard Island.
Secluded within a national park and renown for abundant Australian flora and fauna, Lizard Island beckons both adventurers and leisure-seekers. A prime location on the Great Barrier Reef grants easy access to one of the world’s most coveted natural wonders, while ample amenities and services ensure indelible experiences. Explore the natural beauty or opt to lounge at the pool, beach, spa, or private chartered yacht for a truly unforgettable getaway.
Stay: While a variety of suites and rooms are offered, ultimate luxury is found at The House at Lizard. This modern three-bedroom villa features wellness amenities including outdoor baths, a private swimming pool, adjoining yoga deck, and a rooftop hot tub along with spacious bedrooms and floor-to-ceiling island views from every turn.
Staying at The House has its privileges, like the intuitive service of a Private Host who will curate your dream itinerary and attend to your every request, and a private chef and sommelier on-hand for all meals. Other notable inclusions are access to two private beaches, unlimited use of “Mojo” (a twin outboard Searanger boat), naturalist-led tours, chauffeured transfers to the resort and airport, and more.
Savor: Your all-inclusive stay includes gourmet meals, unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, wine, beer, and spirits, and an in-room mini bar. Multiple dining options are available from elevated to casual. Take in ocean views and a daily rotating menu at Salt Water, which serves up modern Australian fare infused with Asian flavors — all crafted with local produce and fresh seafood. For intimate, exclusive dining, reserve the Degustation Dining experience — available for only two couples per evening. Meet with your chef prior to dinner to discuss your seven-course meal and matching wine selection. Minimal service interruptions ensure ultimate privacy.
See & Do: The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest living coral reef system and the seventh Wonder of the World. Snorkel, scuba dive, or swim with schools of colorful fish and other ocean life among a rainbow of coral. Snorkeling gear is available for the duration of your stay, along with a selection of dive charters and scuba classes. For those who prefer to stay dryer, rent a sea kayak, which offers a window into the underwater world from above the waterline.
Getting There: Scheduled twice daily, take a scenic 60-minute flight between Cairns and Lizard Island — with aerial views of the Great Barrier Reef, the flight is a highlight of the journey.
