Time Out magazine has shone the spotlight on Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef as part of the world’s greatest hotels and resorts named for 2025, according to Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List.
“One of two Australian properties recognised on the list, this Queensland resort allows guests to explore the Great Barrier Reef in style. Rooms boast immediate access to the shimmering sapphire waters and marine life. But the real highlight? The ‘Lizard Island Research Station… really sets this place apart. Opened in 1973, the station is one of the world’s leading reef-research facilities on a luxury resort’. Dreamy. A night’s stay starts at €1480.”
Also featured on the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List is Bullo River Station in the East Kimberley.
