Australian Traveller celebrates the 35 Australian hotels that were recently awarded Michelin Keys, with a special focus on Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef, which was the only Australian hotel to receive three Michelin Keys.

“The word Michelin has long been synonymous with elevated dining . They have long since also ranked hotels in Europe and Asia. However, in 2025, the organisation unveiled the world’s best hotels for the first time with its hotel award system, Michelin Keys .

While the ranking recognised 35 Australian venues, it was Lizard Island that earned the most accolades, lauding it as ‘one of the most outstanding experiences in the world’.

Tucked into the northernmost part of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island is spectacular from the moment your chartered plane flies overhead. One of three Luxury Lodges of Australia properties in Tropical North Queensland, it blends luxury with laid-back Queensland charm. It’s a stay that encourages switching off. Laze by the pool, snorkel with turtles and other marine life, book into the spa and dine on menus that draw inspiration from the tropical environment in the open-air, onsite Salt Water restaurant. Take us back, any time.”
