The Australian Financial Review Magazine describes the extra luxuries available to guests on Lizard Island – ‘when the extreme luxury of far north Queensland’s Lizard Island Resort isn’t enough, just add an exclusive fantasy island experience.’

“As the tender vessel gently slides up the beach, a flock of black noddy terns seems to stare at us in disbelief. They don’t receive visitors often. Picnic essentials are ferried ashore: a cheery blue-and-white striped beach umbrella, picnic hamper, snorkelling gear, and a transparent double kayak, ideal for viewing the vibrant coral. Reclining in a beach chair, it’s time to breathe, bathing in this luxurious isolation where the only footprints are in a short trail behind us. Several chunky islands are visible on the horizon. Closest of all, cloaked in prehistoric forest and rock, is the uninhabited side of Lizard Island. It sounds like a fantasy, but if you’re prepared to pay, this picnic is all yours during a stay at Lizard Island Resort.” – Carolyn Beasley, Australian Financial Review.
